Well, I can knock another Minor League stadium off of the list after taking in a game at Riverwalk Stadium in downtown Montgomery, Alabama this evening. The ballpark is one of the nicest ones I've been to. THey incorporated the old train station into the design of the park, and I feel like they did a tremendous job.
The park looks really cool from the outside, as you can see. It looks even better on the inside. They have the original wood floors inside.
The staircase seen below looked really cool also. We saw this as we were escaping the heat. We sat down in the hallway and enjoyed the interior of the building for a bit while everyone else outside melted in the heat.
The Biscuits (they are the AA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays) played the Mississippi Braves (the AA affiliate of, you know, the Braves) for a 7:05 (central time) game.
The game started out pretty even, but then got out of hand in the top of the 8th inning when the Braves put up a 7-spot. The Braves ended up winning 14-5.
Chris enjoyed himself, but by the end he had gotten pretty tired. He was ready to go, but like the good trooper he is, he stuck it out. Here, he can be seen after downing a blue sno cone.
I had a great time with my little buddy. I definitely would go back to a Biscuits game if I ever was in the area. It sure is a long drive from NC, though...
I enjoyed wching the game with Chris. He's a great kid.
