Riverwalk Stadium

[Southron]

Riverwalk Stadium, home of the AA Montgomery Biscuits (2006 Southern League Champions), opened in 2004. It's located downtown in the riverfront warehouse district, across the railroad tracks from the Montgomery Riverwalk. Completion of the stadium was one of the first major components of the city's riverfront revitalization effort.

2007 spring practice:

Freight trains roll by the park - sometimes 2 or 3 per game.

The ballpark is an adaptive reuse of an old train depot

and the site was once a rather unpleasant Confederate Military Prison.

Nice review here.

Terrific reuse of old RR buildings with something to say archtecturally. Always that area had potential.
