There is no minor league ballpark in the South quite like the one sitting at 200 Coosa St in the heart of downtown Montgomery. The main entrance runs straight through a restored century-old train shed dating to 1898 — exposed brick, covered overhangs, the creak of history underfoot — and an active railroad line runs just beyond left field, close enough that a passing train is part of the atmosphere. That's the experience waiting for your group.
The catch is that it sits inside a compact downtown grid where the parking lots run small, the streets around Coosa and Commerce fill up on sellout nights, and 30 people showing up in eight separate cars will spend more time looking for spaces than they will enjoying the pregame. A Montgomery party bus or charter bus rental solves it cleanly: your group drops directly in front of the stadium on Tallapoosa and Coosa Streets, walks through the train shed entrance together, and the bus stages nearby at the Landmark lot on Columbus and North Hull Streets for the post-game pickup. No parking safari.
No caravan regrouping. No one drawing straws for who has to drive home on a Thursday night in July.
The stadium was officially renamed DABOS Park in March 2026 under new ownership — Opening Day as DABOS Park was April 7, 2026 — but most fans and visitors still know it as Riverwalk Stadium, and both names are used throughout this guide. This is the complete transportation guide for groups heading to a Biscuits game: where the bus drops off, what parking costs if you're driving, how the approach from I-65 works, what the group outing areas offer, and how post-game pickup from the Landmark lot actually runs.

Why Rent a Charter Bus or Party Bus to Riverwalk Stadium?
Downtown Montgomery's parking around the ballpark is functional for individual cars but genuinely rough for groups. The designated game-day lots sit within five blocks, they charge around $4 per car, and on theme nights or fireworks dates — the nights most likely to sell out — those closest lots fill up before the gates even open. The Coosa Street Parking Deck directly across the street is the most convenient option, but "directly across" still means coordinating a parking structure exit for every car in your caravan when the game ends and 7,000 fans hit Coosa Street at once.
Rent one bus and every one of those logistics disappears. A Montgomery sporting event charter bus drops your entire group at the curb on Tallapoosa and Coosa Streets, steps from the train shed entrance, then stages a short distance away at the Landmark lot on Columbus and North Hull Streets while you're inside. Post-game, the pickup spot and time are agreed on before first pitch — so when the fireworks end and the crowd pours out, your bus is right there and your group has one clear place to be.
For corporate outings booked into the Locomotive Loft, birthday groups in the picnic area, or any group of 20 or more, that single-point-of-contact experience is the whole reason a bus is worth it.
Charter Bus and Party Bus Drop-Off at DABOS Park
Per the stadium's published ground transportation directions, bus pickup and drop-off runs directly in front of Riverwalk Stadium on Tallapoosa and Coosa Streets, with bus parking during the game at the Landmark lot on the corner of Columbus Street and North Hull Street. Tallapoosa Street runs along the first-base side of the ballpark — the same side as the historic train shed entrance — so your group steps off the bus and straight through the main entry corridor without crossing a parking lot or walking an extra block. Coosa Street borders the home plate end of the stadium.
Both are two-lane downtown streets with commercial curb space sufficient for bus drop-off.
Your bus drops at the curb on Tallapoosa and Coosa Streets, directly at the train shed entrance — the published drop-off point for group transportation at Riverwalk Stadium, with bus parking nearby at the Landmark lot. No remote lot search for your group, no long walk. That's the whole advantage, and it's published by the stadium itself.
Gates open 1 hour and 5 minutes before the scheduled first pitch, per the team's published game-day information. Most weeknight games run a 6:35 PM first pitch, which puts drop-off at the train shed around 5:30 PM. Give yourself a 10-to-15-minute buffer on giveaway nights and fireworks dates — the curb on Tallapoosa sees heavier foot traffic on those evenings, and the lines at the train shed entry move a bit slower when capacity is fuller.
For the post-game pickup: the bus stages at the Landmark lot on Columbus and North Hull Streets while your group is inside, and the exact meeting details are confirmed when you reserve so there is no hunt-and-regroup moment when the ninth inning ends. Lock in your pickup window before the first pitch. That is the one move that makes a post-game pickup run cleanly, especially on fireworks nights when the crowd on Coosa Street gets thick fast.
Downtown Montgomery Parking Near Riverwalk Stadium
If part of your group is driving independently, the parking picture around DABOS Park is worth knowing in advance. Several city-owned and private lots sit within five blocks of the stadium, with game-day pricing running approximately $4 per car at the designated lots. The official game-day options include Lot 2, Lot 3, and Lot 4 in the surrounding blocks, plus a city lot near Perry and Monroe Streets.
The Coosa Street Parking Deck at 233 Coosa St — directly across from the stadium — is the closest covered structure and accepts the ParkMobile app for cashless payment. Handicap accessible parking is in Lot 1 at the corner of Randolph Street and North Court Street. Free street parking is sometimes available on blocks farther from the outfield, but availability drops fast on sellout nights.
At $4 a car, a group of 40 arriving in ten cars runs $40 in parking before anyone buys a hot dog — and that's assuming every car finds a space before the lots fill. On fireworks nights, those closest lots are gone well before first pitch, and the walk back from a distant side street at 10 PM in Alabama summer heat is not the way anyone wants to end a good game. One bus replaces all of that: one cost split across the group, one drop at the curb, one pickup at the same spot.
The Montgomery party bus prices page has current planning ranges if you want to run the comparison.
Getting to Riverwalk Stadium from I-65
Every approach to downtown Montgomery for a Biscuits game runs through the same interstate exit: I-65, Exit 172. The specific turns vary by direction, but the exit number is constant regardless of whether you're coming down from Birmingham, in from Atlanta, up from Mobile, or across from Selma.
From Birmingham (I-65 South, ~90 miles, approximately 1.5 hours): Exit 172 at Clay Street, slight left onto Dickerson Street, then left onto Herron Street heading east. Herron turns into Bibb Street; continue straight and turn left onto Coosa Street. The ballpark is directly ahead.
From Mobile or the Gulf Coast (I-65 North, ~170 miles, approximately 2.5 hours): Exit 172 at Herron Street, proceed east on Herron to Bibb Street, then left onto Coosa Street. From Atlanta or Auburn (I-85 West to I-65, approximately 160 miles from Atlanta / 50 miles from Auburn): merge I-85 South onto I-65 North at the downtown interchange, Exit 172, then the same Herron/Bibb/Coosa route. From Selma or West Alabama (US-80 East): take US-80 East to I-65 North, then Exit 172.
Downtown Montgomery traffic before a 6:35 PM weeknight game is generally light compared to major metro venues — you do not need to be in the area three hours early. A 20-to-30-minute buffer before gates open is typically enough from most directions. On fireworks dates or big theme nights, add another 15 minutes — Coosa and Commerce see noticeably heavier traffic on those evenings, and street congestion closer to the ballpark starts a bit earlier.
The advantage of a bus on any of these approaches: the group rides together from the hotel or meeting point, the route into downtown is handled, and nobody is hunting for a parking space off Bibb Street at 6:20 PM.
Group Outings and Picnic Areas at DABOS Park
The single biggest reason groups book a Riverwalk Stadium bus rental is the left-center field picnic area, which can accommodate up to 4,000 fans and offers a relaxed, everyone-together setup that regular assigned seats don't replicate. Groups of 20 or more save up to $2 per ticket over individual game pricing when booked through the official group outings page, and the picnic options include multiple menu packages and covered shelter. It's the natural destination for company picnics, family reunions, church groups, and office birthday outings — and a group that size arriving in four or five separate cars is going to scatter across the lot, regroup slowly at the gate, and face the same messy post-game exit everyone else does.
One bus removes that entirely: drop at Tallapoosa, in through the train shed, picnic area for nine innings, back out to the waiting bus at the Landmark lot. Clean from start to finish.
DABOS Park has several premium group areas beyond the picnic deck, each with its own character. The Locomotive Loft sits in the upper level of the original train shed along the first-base side — the views from up there reach past the outfield and over downtown to the Alabama State Capitol. The Train Car Suites number 20 in total: six of them are built directly into the old train terminal on the first-base side, and 14 run along the third-base line.
The Conductor's Club operates as a lounge-style space for social gatherings and corporate events. The On Deck Platform is dugout-level with private food service and a dedicated bartender. For current capacity and availability across all group venues, contact the Biscuits group sales team directly through the official site.
A 40-to-56-person group filling the Locomotive Loft or a section of the picnic area is exactly the size range where a full charter bus makes the most sense — one vehicle, one drop at the train shed curb, and one pickup at the Landmark lot at the agreed time. Midsize groups of 15–35 using the Conductor's Club or a reserved picnic block fit cleanly on a minibus, which is easier to stage near the stadium.
What Size Bus Does Your Group Need for a Riverwalk Stadium Run?
The right vehicle comes down to two things: how many people are in your group, and whether you're running any stops before or after the game — The Alley before first pitch, dinner on Commerce Street after. Here's how the full vehicle lineup maps to a Biscuits game.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van | Up to 14 | Small VIP group, birthday group, executive outing | Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows |
| Party bus (15–50 passengers) | 15–50 | Groups wanting the pregame energy built into the ride | Built-in bar area, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | 15–35 | Midsize groups, picnic area outings, corporate runs | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, greater maneuverability on tight downtown blocks |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Large groups, company picnics, church groups, reunions | Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restroom, undercarriage bays |
For groups flying into Montgomery Regional Airport before the game, the MGM airport shuttle guide covers the terminal pickup logistics — the airport sits about 9 miles from downtown, roughly 12–15 minutes to the ballpark on a normal traffic day. One bus handles the airport leg and the stadium run together, so out-of-town groups never need to coordinate a separate transfer. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network; just note it in your quote request at least 48 hours before your date.
Party Bus and Charter Bus Rental Prices for Biscuits Games
Riverwalk Stadium bus rental pricing moves with your vehicle size, total hours needed, and the date. A typical Biscuits game run — hotel or meeting point pickup, drop at the train shed, post-game pickup, and return — usually runs four to six hours depending on where you're starting and how long the group stays after the final out. To give you an idea of planning ranges: a 15–35 passenger minibus typically runs $200–$250 per hour on weekdays and $200–$275 per hour on weekends, with per-day rates from $1,100–$2,150.
A 40–56 passenger charter bus runs $200–$350 per hour on weekdays or weekends, with per-day rates from $1,350–$2,850. Party buses in the 25–40 passenger range run roughly $250–$500 per hour on weekends depending on the specific bus size.
Split a five-hour charter bus across 50 people and the per-head cost regularly undercuts the combination of gas, game-day parking at $4 per car, and the surge in rideshare pricing that hits Coosa Street when 7,000 fans try to leave at the same time. The final total for your group comes from the quote — it adjusts for your exact date, route, and headcount, and you can have it in under 30 seconds online or by calling 334-931-0130. Check the Montgomery party bus prices page for a full breakdown of planning ranges by vehicle type.
Before and After the Game: The Alley and the Riverfront
One of the quiet advantages of a bus drop-off on Tallapoosa and Coosa Streets is that it puts your group right at the edge of downtown Montgomery's main entertainment corridor. The Alley, centered around 133 Tallapoosa St, is a strip of bars, restaurants, and live music spots that draws a pregame crowd on Biscuits nights — it's a short walk from the train shed entrance, which means your bus can drop the group early for drinks on Tallapoosa before gates open. The Alley Bar is at 166 Commerce St, right at the intersection of the two streets the bus uses for drop-off.
Commerce Street itself has restaurant options from Wintzell's Oyster House to Dreamland BBQ within easy walking distance of the ballpark entrance.
The Alabama River amphitheater sits directly adjacent to the ballpark — the 360-degree concourse that wraps around DABOS Park connects to the riverfront walk, so groups can catch the view from the river side between innings or after the final out. On post-game fireworks nights, that riverfront area gets crowded fast and the crowd on Coosa Street gets thick. Budget an extra 15–20 minutes post-fireworks for the street to clear before the bus moves, and make sure the pickup window is set before you walk into the ballpark — not after the last burst of fireworks when everyone's on their phone trying to regroup.
The staging spot at the Landmark lot and the exact pickup time are confirmed when you reserve, per your specific game date and the official Biscuits promotions calendar.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at Riverwalk Stadium?
Bus pickup and drop-off is directly in front of the stadium on Tallapoosa and Coosa Streets, per the stadium's own published directions. Tallapoosa runs along the first-base side of the ballpark, directly in front of the historic train shed entrance — your group steps off the bus and straight through the main entry without any additional walk. The bus then moves to a staging position at the Landmark lot on Columbus and North Hull Streets while your group is inside.
Where does the bus park while we are at the game?
The bus stages at the Landmark parking lot on the corner of Columbus Street and North Hull Street, per the stadium's published bus parking information. The exact meeting details are confirmed when you reserve, so there is one agreed-upon pickup point when the game ends. Set a specific pickup time before first pitch; that single detail is what keeps a post-game pickup from getting complicated.
How much does parking cost near DABOS Park on game day?
Game-day lots within five blocks charge approximately $4 per car. The Coosa Street Parking Deck at 233 Coosa St is directly across from the stadium and accepts ParkMobile for cashless payment. Lots 2, 3, and 4 are the designated game-day options nearby; Lot 1 at Randolph Street and North Court Street handles handicap accessible parking.
Free street parking is possible on some blocks beyond the outfield on lighter attendance nights. On sellout and fireworks dates, the closest lots fill early. Review the official stadium directions page before your visit for any updates.
When do the gates open at DABOS Park?
Gates open 1 hour and 5 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. For most weeknight games that's around 5:30 PM for a 6:35 PM start. On giveaway nights — T-shirts, bobbleheads — arrive closer to gate open time if you want one, since supplies are limited and the train shed entry sees a longer line on those dates.
Do groups of 20 or more get a ticket discount?
Yes — groups of 20 or more save up to $2 per ticket over individual game pricing when booked through the official Biscuits group program. Group venues including the left-center field picnic area, Locomotive Loft, Train Car Suites, Conductor's Club, and On Deck Platform each have their own pricing and availability. Contact the Biscuits group sales team through the official group outings page to reserve.
Is rideshare a workable option for a large group?
For a small group of three or four, rideshare to DABOS Park is fine — the downtown location is easy to drop off at. For groups of 15 or more, the coordination cost of multiple cars adds up fast: different arrival times, different lanes to exit the app, and the post-game rideshare spike on Coosa Street when 7,000 people leave at once. A Montgomery group transportation arrangement is the cleaner answer — one vehicle, one drop, one pickup at the time you already set.
How far in advance should I book a bus for a Biscuits game?
For most regular-season games, 2–3 weeks of lead time is workable. For fireworks nights, theme nights, or giveaway games — which are the sellout dates — book 4–6 weeks out. Those nights pull more groups into the market, and the right-fit vehicle sizes go first.
Call 334-931-0130 as soon as your date is confirmed; a quote takes about a minute.
What are the biggest game-day promotions to plan around?
The Biscuits run a packed promotions calendar through their April–September season. Tacos & Tallboys Tuesdays and Thirsty Thursdays are recurring weekly specials. Fireworks light up the post-game sky after select home games throughout the season — those are the dates that drive sellouts and the most group bus requests.
Check the official promotions calendar before you lock in your date, and book the bus as soon as you pick a game.
