A Local’s Guide to the Montgomery Biscuits: Family Fun at Riverwalk Stadium

As we move into the second quarter of 2026, the energy in downtown Montgomery is unmistakable. With the recent renaming of our landmark stadium to DABOS Park and the continued surge of visitors to the nearby Montgomery Whitewater park, the Riverwalk District has solidified itself as the premier family destination in the River Region.

Whether you are relocating to Maxwell Air Force Base or have lived in Pike Road for a decade, a night with the Montgomery Biscuits remains the quintessential local experience. It’s more than just Double-A baseball; it’s a masterclass in community atmosphere.

The 2026 Fan Experience at DABOS Park

The 2026 season has brought several infrastructure upgrades to the historic train shed that houses the stadium. The fusion of 19th-century architecture with modern amenities creates an environment you won’t find in newer, cookie-cutter minor league parks.

• The Atmosphere: From the "Biscuit Cannon" firing warm biscuits into the stands to the train whistles blowing as CSX engines pass just beyond the outfield wall, the sensory experience is unique to Montgomery.

• Family-First Amenities: The Outfield Lawn remains the best value for families with young children. It allows kids to run and play while parents enjoy the game from a picnic blanket.

  
  

• The Club Car Bar: For those looking to escape the Alabama humidity, the ASE Club Car Bar is a fully climate-controlled space along the first-base line offering 16 beers on tap, including local favorites from Common Bond Brewers.

Must-Try Stadium Eats: Beyond the Traditional Hot Dog

You cannot visit DABOS Park without eating. The food program here leans heavily into Southern staples, elevating the standard stadium fare.

1. Conecuh Sausage Biscuits: A true Alabama staple. The snap of the Conecuh sausage paired with a fluffy, buttery biscuit is non-negotiable for first-timers.

2. Nashville Hot Chicken Biscuits: A fan favorite that has gained a permanent spot on the 2026 menu due to popular demand.

   
   

3. The Biscuit Basket: Located behind Section 111, this is your hub for the latest "Big Mo" merchandise and the iconic New Era fitted hats.

Navigating the 2026 Season

With the 2026 schedule now in full swing, planning your visit around the team's promotional calendar is the best way to maximize the experience.

• Weekly Promotions: Tacos and Tallboys on Tuesdays and the legendary Thirsty Thursdays (featuring half-price drinks) continue to drive mid-week crowds.

• Bark in the Park: If you’re a pet owner in the River Region, these specific dates allow you to bring your dog to the park, provided they are on a leash.

• Opening Homestand: The Biscuits are set to host the Pensacola Blue Wahoos starting April 21, 2026, which is always a high-energy series for local fans.

The "Terra Perspective": The Insider’s Tip

As someone who spends a significant amount of time in the Riverwalk District, I’ve learned that the "standard" guest experience can be improved with a few local maneuvers.

Parking Hacks

Avoid the immediate stadium lots if you want to skip the post-game bottleneck. I recommend parking near Lower Commerce Street. It’s a short, scenic walk past some of our best downtown lofts, and you’ll have a much easier exit toward I-65 or the Northern Boulevard. You can check the City of Montgomery's parking map for $5 public lot options between Randolph and Columbus Streets.

Timing the Train

If you have small children, try to grab seats in the Third Base Wing. You get the best view of the trains passing by, which is often more exciting for toddlers than the actual baseball game. Plus, you’re closer to the Baptist Health First Aid station and the Guest Services desk if you need assistance.

The Whitewater Connection

In 2026, we are seeing a "dual-destination" trend. Families are spending their mornings at Montgomery Whitewater—located just minutes away—and then heading to the ballpark for a night game. If you’re planning a full Saturday, this is the ultimate Montgomery itinerary.

Getting Your Tickets

Ticketing has moved almost exclusively to digital platforms in 2026. Whether you are looking for Lawn General Admission (starting around $24 on resale markets like Ticketmaster) or premium box seats, I suggest buying at least 48 hours in advance for weekend games.

• Check Availability: Visit the official Biscuits Ticket Office for the most accurate pricing.

• Verify the Schedule: Use WSFA’s local sports guide for weather updates and potential double-header announcements.
