Walk into DABOS Park — the ballpark Montgomery fans have called Riverwalk Stadium since its first pitch on April 16, 2004 — and the first thing that catches you isn't the field. It's the roof. A converted century-old train shed stretches along the first-base line, steel trusses framing a concourse where the Montgomery Biscuits, Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, have played Southern League baseball for over twenty years.
In March 2026, biotech company DABOS purchased the naming rights and renamed it — but the address hasn't moved: 200 Coosa Street, downtown Montgomery, right along the Alabama River. And downtown is exactly where group transportation gets complicated. The street grid around the ballpark is tight, parking lots scatter across a five-block radius, and on a Friday MAX Fireworks night those lots fill well before first pitch.
By the time a 20-person group has coordinated five different cars into five different lots, the pregame energy is gone and half the group is somewhere on Columbus Street trying to find each other.
A Montgomery charter bus or party bus rental solves all of it. Published stadium guidance places bus pickup and drop-off directly in front of DABOS Park on Tallapoosa Street and Coosa Street — steps from the main entrance, not a parking-lot hike away. Your group loads at one point, drops at the gate, and the bus stages at the Landmark lot nearby until you're ready to leave.
This guide covers exactly how that works: where the bus drops, where it waits, what the surrounding lots charge, which direction to enter from, and which vehicle size matches your headcount. Every fact below is sourced from the stadium's own published directions and verified local resources — not generic ballpark copy.
Why Rent a Charter Bus or Party Bus to DABOS Park?
DABOS Park holds roughly 7,000 fans — 4,500 in fixed seats, 20 luxury boxes along the first- and third-base lines, and around 2,500 in general admission. There is no sprawling stadium lot next door. Parking disperses across a half-dozen city-operated lots and decks within five blocks, each one charging separately, each one filling at a different rate depending on the night's promotion.
On a T-Shirt Thursday or a late-season playoff game, those lots go fast — and on the way out, everyone is walking to a different spot while navigating the one-way blocks between Coosa and Perry Streets in the dark. A 25-person group arriving in five separate cars is a five-way parking negotiation before the first batter steps in, and five separate walks back to five different spots after the ninth.
One Montgomery charter bus or party bus rental collapses all of that into a single logistics call. Partybusmontgomery.com connects you to a network of bus companies serving Montgomery, so you compare options, find the right size, and your whole group boards at one address — your office, your hotel, wherever the group is — gets dropped at the gate on Coosa Street, and the bus is staged for pickup when you walk out. The pregame energy builds on the ride in instead of getting burned up on a parking app. And the post-game exit, which is the single worst part of any downtown ballpark evening when everyone is on their own, turns into a non-event: bus is right there, group climbs on, done.

Charter Bus and Party Bus Drop-Off at Riverwalk Stadium
The published guidance for bus groups at DABOS Park is straightforward: pickup and drop-off for charter buses and party buses is located directly in front of the stadium on Tallapoosa Street and Coosa Street, per the stadium's own parking and directions guidance. Coosa Street runs along the east side of the ballpark — the same side as the main entrance — so your group steps off the bus and is at the gate immediately, not cutting through a row of parked cars. Tallapoosa Street runs along the north side and provides the approach corridor that commercial vehicles use to reach that curbside zone.
Both streets are manageable for a full-size 45-foot charter bus, and the curbside drop keeps your group together at arrival rather than fanning out from a distant lot.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. Rideshare passengers at DABOS Park get dropped wherever the app routes them — sometimes Coosa, sometimes a block away, sometimes on Monroe after surge pricing kicks in post-game. Your whole group arrives at one address and one door.
When the game ends, the pickup is the same spot, already agreed upon before anyone went inside. No phone coordination, no "where are you," no one split off looking for the Uber in the wrong direction.
Charter buses and party buses drop off directly on Tallapoosa and Coosa Streets — the stadium's own published guidance places bus pickup and drop-off at the main entrance intersection, not at a remote lot. Your group walks off the bus and into the ballpark.
Bus Parking at DABOS Park: Where Your Vehicle Stages
After dropping your group at the front entrance, the bus parks at the Landmark lot at the corner of Columbus Street and North Hull Street — the designated bus parking area published for DABOS Park. The Landmark lot sits a few blocks from the stadium and gives commercial vehicles a staging area while the game is on without competing with the tight street grid around Coosa and Tallapoosa. When the final out lands, the bus returns to the curbside drop zone to collect your group.
One practical note on timing: the bus needs a few minutes to transit from the Landmark lot back to the stadium entrance after the game. Build a 10–15 minute post-game buffer into your pickup window and set that time before your group goes inside — that way the bus is right there when you walk out, not arriving five minutes after you start wondering where it is. A support team is one call away at 334-931-2490 any time to help set the right staging plan for your specific event date.
Getting to Riverwalk Stadium: Routes and Traffic on Game Day
The final approach to DABOS Park is always Coosa Street, heading toward the river. How you get to Coosa depends on your origin. From I-65: take Exit 172 — Herron Street from the north, Clay Street from the south — then follow Herron east until it transitions to Bibb Street, and turn left on Coosa Street; the stadium will be on your right.
From I-85 South: take Exit 1, turn right on Union Street, then left on Madison Avenue, then right on Coosa Street. From Highway 82 (Selma and points west): turn right on Highway 31, which runs into Maxwell Boulevard through Maxwell Air Force Base and becomes Tallapoosa Street — putting you on the north side of the stadium at the bus drop zone.
On game days — especially 6:05 PM and 7:05 PM start times on Friday and Saturday — the Herron Street exit off I-65 slows considerably as Montgomery's regular evening commute and incoming game traffic merge on the same surface-street corridor. The blocks between Bibb and Coosa also tighten with foot traffic in the last 30 minutes before first pitch. On a charter bus or party bus, that congestion isn't your problem — your group is already seated, already together, and the approach is someone else's calculation.
That's a genuine advantage of renting a bus to a downtown Montgomery ballpark specifically because of that Herron-to-Coosa final stretch.
Downtown Parking at Riverwalk Stadium: What the Car Option Looks Like
It helps to understand what groups are choosing between. Per published game-day parking guidance, several city-operated lots within five blocks of DABOS Park charge around $4–$5 per vehicle on game days. The main game-day lots include Lot 2 at N. Perry and Columbus Streets, Lot 3 between Randolph and Columbus along N. Perry, Lot 4 at N. McDonough and Columbus Streets, and a City Lot at N. Perry and Monroe Streets.
The Coosa Street parking deck sits directly across from the stadium — the closest structure — and bills by the quarter-hour, with potential event surcharges on busy nights. Handicap parking is designated in Lot 1 at Randolph Street and North Court Street. On-street parking in the surrounding blocks is free after 6 PM for evening games, but those spots go quickly on well-promoted nights.
For a 30-person group showing up in seven or eight cars, that's seven or eight separate parking decisions at $4–$5 each, seven or eight different walk-in points, and seven or eight separate post-game hunts through downtown streets when everyone is tired and the rideshare queue is backed up. A single minibus or charter bus replaces all of that with one flat group rate and a drop-off 30 feet from the front gate. The per-person math usually favors the bus once you're past about 15 people.
We recommend checking the stadium's published parking information before your visit to confirm current lot availability and pricing for your specific game night.
What Size Bus Does Your Group Need for a Riverwalk Stadium Game?
DABOS Park is a mid-size ballpark, not a stadium complex with a six-lane commercial vehicle approach. That means vehicle maneuverability in the downtown grid matters — and a smaller vehicle is often the right pick for groups under 25. But the full range of vehicles is available through Partybusmontgomery.com, from a 14-passenger Sprinter limo for a special-occasion birthday group to a 56-seat charter bus for a large company outing booking the Boxcar Buffet.
Here's how the vehicle lineup breaks down for a Biscuits game or Sun Belt tournament trip.
| Vehicle | Typical Seats | Best For | Key Amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Small corporate groups, family outings, executive transfers from MGM | Premium leather, USB charging at every seat, individual climate control |
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo | Up to 14 | Birthday groups, anniversary game nights, small celebration outings | Plush seating, tinted privacy windows, premium audio |
| Party bus (20- to 40-passenger) | 20–40 | Large friend groups, theme-night outings, celebration game trips | LED lighting, Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, wraparound perimeter seating |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | 15–35 | Mid-size corporate shuttles, school field trips, group venue outings | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage — greater maneuverability on downtown streets |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Large company outings, Sun Belt tournament groups, Boxcar Buffet events | Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, overhead bins, onboard restroom, undercarriage bays |
For most Biscuits fan groups, a 25- or 30-passenger party bus covers a department outing or a large friend group comfortably — big enough to keep everyone together, compact enough to handle the Coosa Street drop zone without fuss. A minibus is the practical pick for school field trips or smaller corporate shuttles where reclining seats and overhead storage matter more than a sound system. For large company outings filling one of the group venues — especially groups driving in from Birmingham, Auburn, or Tuscaloosa — a full-size charter bus gives you undercarriage bays for overnight bags and an onboard restroom for the drive home.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network; note your needs when you request a quote.
Events at DABOS Park Worth Planning a Group Bus Trip For
The Montgomery Biscuits home schedule runs from April through mid-September — 70-plus home games across five months, Thursday through Sunday drawing the biggest crowds. As the Double-A development pipeline for the Tampa Bay Rays, the Biscuits have sent notable talent to the majors — David Price, Evan Longoria, Blake Snell, and Carl Crawford all came through Montgomery — so meaningful game-by-game stakes run through the full Southern League season. Not every night fills the lots, but certain dates consistently do, and those are the ones where a group charter bus or party bus reservation changes the whole experience.
MAX Fireworks nights are the single biggest group-draw on the Biscuits promotional calendar. Post-game fireworks above the downtown Montgomery skyline and the Alabama River draw fans who wouldn't otherwise come out on a Friday evening, and those nights consistently fill the Coosa Street deck and the surrounding game-day lots early. The official Biscuits promotional schedule posts fireworks game dates in advance — those are the dates to book group transportation earliest, because vehicle availability tightens for the high-demand games.
T-Shirt Thursdays and giveaway nights drive stronger weekday attendance than you'd expect at a Double-A park; Thirsty Thursdays pull young-adult groups that make for a particularly lively bus ride in from midtown Montgomery or the hotel corridor near the EastChase area.
The Sun Belt Conference Baseball Championship is a separate annual draw in its own right. DABOS Park has been the permanent home of the Sun Belt tournament since 2021 — a multi-day, ten-team double-elimination event that brings college baseball fans from across Alabama, the Gulf Coast, and the Southeast into downtown Montgomery every May. The Sun Belt championship runs single-elimination play-in games followed by several rounds of bracket play, making it a multi-session event where fan groups may want transportation for two or three days in a row.
A charter bus rental for the Sun Belt tournament is particularly practical for groups coming from out of town — one vehicle from the hotel to the ballpark each session, no daily parking scramble, no individual cars navigating the downtown grid for three straight days.
For peak nights — fireworks games, opening weekend, late-season playoff games, and Sun Belt tournament sessions — book group transportation as soon as your date is set. The right-size vehicles fill out for those dates. For a regular mid-week game in June or July, two to three weeks of lead time is usually workable.
Call 334-931-2490 to check availability for your specific date.
Group Venue Options Inside DABOS Park
One reason Montgomery party bus and charter bus trips to Riverwalk Stadium tend to run on the larger side is the ballpark's own group capacity. DABOS Park operates multiple private group areas, each one themed around the stadium's railroad architecture. The Whistle Stop Grille along the third-base line is a private picnic area with a backyard-barbecue feel, accommodating 45 to 120 guests.
The Locomotive Loft at suite level offers open-air views of the field and handles groups of 60 to 120. The Train Car Suites — added under the new OnDeck Partners ownership group in 2026 — offer flexible indoor and outdoor layouts for 20 to 60 guests, themed around street art and railway culture. For the largest outings, the Boxcar Buffet accommodates up to 2,500 people for an all-you-can-eat group experience.
A company filling the Locomotive Loft at 80 people probably isn't arriving in 20 separate cars from the same office park. That's exactly the scenario where a full-size charter bus from Partybusmontgomery.com makes the most sense — one vehicle from the office or hotel, one drop at the Coosa Street entrance, one flat group rate. Corporate event bus rentals in Montgomery for DABOS Park group venue reservations are among the most common requests on this site.
For group venue inquiries, contact the Biscuits ticket office at (334) 323-2255; for the bus that gets your group there and back, call 334-931-2490. Those two calls cover the whole outing.
Charter Bus and Party Bus Rental Prices for Riverwalk Stadium Trips
Montgomery party bus rental prices and charter bus rates depend on vehicle size, total hours, the day of the week, and pickup location. To give you a sense of planning ranges: a 15–35 passenger minibus runs $200–$275 per hour on weekend evenings; a 40–56 passenger charter bus falls in the $200–$350 per hour range; a 25-passenger party bus typically runs $275–$375 per hour on a Friday or Saturday. Per-day rates are available for multi-session trips like the Sun Belt tournament.
The actual price for your date and itinerary moves with demand — a MAX Fireworks Friday prices differently than a Tuesday game in August — so the fastest way to get an accurate number is the online quote tool or a call to 334-931-2490. Under a minute, no account required.
Here's how the math plays out for a typical group. A 28-person company outing to a Thursday Biscuits game parks in three or four separate lots at $4–$5 each, walks from four different spots, and has to coordinate everyone back to the cars after the game. A 28-passenger party bus booked for four hours — pickup at the office, drop at Coosa Street, post-game pickup and return — replaces all of that for one flat group rate.
Split 28 ways, the per-person cost is often comparable to what everyone would have paid for parking alone, with the group transportation included. Check the Montgomery party bus prices page for current planning ranges, or call 334-931-2490 for a quote built around your specific game night and headcount.
Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Bus to Riverwalk Stadium
Where does a charter bus or party bus drop off at Riverwalk Stadium?
Bus pickup and drop-off at DABOS Park (Riverwalk Stadium) is directly in front of the stadium on Tallapoosa Street and Coosa Street, per the stadium's published directions. Coosa Street runs along the east side of the ballpark where the main entrance is located, so your group steps off the bus and is immediately at the gate — not walking from a distant lot. After drop-off, the bus stages at the Landmark lot at Columbus and North Hull Streets and returns to the curbside zone for post-game pickup.
Where does the bus park while my group is inside the game?
The designated bus parking area for DABOS Park is the Landmark lot at the corner of Columbus Street and North Hull Street, a few blocks from the stadium. The bus stages there during the game and returns to the Tallapoosa/Coosa curbside zone for pickup after your agreed-upon departure time. Set your post-game pickup window before going inside — build in 10–15 minutes for the bus to transit back from the Landmark lot.
How much does parking cost near Riverwalk Stadium on game days?
Game-day lots within five blocks of the stadium charge around $4–$5 per vehicle, based on published parking guidance. Key lots include Lot 2 at N. Perry and Columbus, Lot 3 along N. Perry between Randolph and Columbus, Lot 4 at N. McDonough and Columbus, and the City Lot at N. Perry and Monroe. The Coosa Street parking deck directly across from the stadium charges by the quarter-hour and may apply event surcharges on busy nights.
Street parking in surrounding blocks is free after 6 PM but fills fast on promotion nights. A charter bus or party bus replaces the car-parking math entirely — one drop-off at the gate, one post-game pickup, one flat group rate.
What's the best route to Riverwalk Stadium from I-65?
Take I-65 Exit 172 (Herron Street from the north, Clay Street from the south). Follow Herron east until it becomes Bibb Street, then turn left on Coosa Street. The stadium is on your right at 200 Coosa Street.
On game nights with 6 or 7 PM start times, Exit 172 backs up — plan for extra time on the Herron-to-Bibb approach, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Can a full-size charter bus navigate the streets around DABOS Park?
Yes. The published bus drop-off zone on Tallapoosa and Coosa Streets is specifically designated for commercial vehicles, and the Landmark lot at Columbus and North Hull Streets is the confirmed bus parking area. The downtown Montgomery grid is manageable on those published approach routes — you don't need a smaller vehicle simply because the ballpark is in a downtown setting.
How is DABOS Park different from Riverwalk Stadium?
They're the same ballpark at the same address. In March 2026, biotech and laboratory supply company DABOS purchased the naming rights to Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium, officially renaming it DABOS Park. The first game under the new name was Opening Day, April 7, 2026.
The location, address (200 Coosa Street), and transportation logistics are unchanged — only the exterior name changed.
Who are the Montgomery Biscuits and what league do they play in?
The Montgomery Biscuits are the Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, competing in the Southern League. They've played at 200 Coosa Street since the ballpark opened in April 2004 and have produced major-league talent including David Price, Evan Longoria, Blake Snell, and Carl Crawford. The home schedule runs from April through mid-September, with 70-plus home games annually.
Is handicap parking available at DABOS Park?
Handicap parking is designated in Lot 1 at Randolph Street and North Court Street. ADA-accessible buses are available through the Partybusmontgomery.com network — note your accessibility needs when you request a quote and the right vehicle can be arranged.
How far is Montgomery Regional Airport from Riverwalk Stadium?
Montgomery Regional Airport (MGM) is approximately 6 miles southwest of DABOS Park. For out-of-town groups flying in for a Biscuits game or the Sun Belt tournament, a charter bus pickup at the terminal curb and a direct run into downtown eliminates the rideshare-with-luggage scramble on arrival day. The Montgomery Regional Airport transportation guide covers exactly how that airport pickup sequence works.
How far in advance should I book a bus to DABOS Park?
For regular weeknight games, two to three weeks out is usually workable. For MAX Fireworks nights, opening weekend, Southern League playoff games, and Sun Belt Conference tournament sessions, book as soon as your date is confirmed — those nights draw the heaviest demand from corporate groups and fan groups across the River Region, and the right-size vehicles go first. If you're booking a group venue reservation at the same time, coordinate the bus booking at the same point so both are locked in together.
