Coosa Street is one lane each way, it dead-ends into a nineteenth-century train shed, and on a Friday night in Montgomery it fills up fast with cars circling for a spot that isn't there. That's the part nobody mentions when they tell you to just drive down and catch a Biscuits game. Two cars turn into three separate parking searches, three separate walks in from wherever you finally squeezed in, and a group that was supposed to sit together scattered across three different sections by first pitch.
A charter bus or party bus skips all of that. Your group loads once, gets dropped right at the ballpark, and rides home together after the last out instead of hunting for each other in a dark downtown lot. Below is exactly how that works at DABOS Park — the address, the drive in from I-65 and I-85, the gate policy, and what actually shapes the price — pulled from the ballpark's own published information, not guesswork.
If your group is headed to a Biscuits night out, the full rundown on Montgomery sporting event transportation covers game-day trips across the city; this guide is just about getting your group to this one ballpark.
Why Rent a Bus to DABOS Park for a Montgomery Biscuits Game?
Downtown Montgomery's grid was built for a much smaller city than the one that shows up for a summer ballgame. Coosa Street, Tallapoosa Street, and Commerce Street all narrow down around the ballpark block, and there's no dedicated stadium lot the way a newer suburban venue would have. Send a group down in five or six personal cars and you've created five or six separate parking problems, on top of the usual headache of texting everyone the meet-up spot after the game.
One bus reduces all of that to a single pickup and a single drop-off. Your group boards at a hotel, an office, or a home base anywhere in the metro, rides down together, and gets let out right on the ballpark block instead of peeling off toward whichever side street had an open spot. Comparing a DABOS Park charter bus rental against a caravan of personal cars is really a comparison against the parking search itself — and the bus wins that one each time.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at DABOS Park
DABOS Park sits at 200 Coosa St., Montgomery, AL 36104, in the historic warehouse district along the Alabama River. The ballpark itself is built into a converted, century-old train shed — the same shed that once served the city's original passenger depot — which is why the block feels tighter and more historic than a typical minor-league lot.
The ballpark's own DABOS Park ballpark information page lays out the approach for groups driving in from either interstate:
- From I-65 South: take Exit 172 (Clay Street), follow it to Herron Street, then turn left onto Coosa Street.
- From I-65 North: take Exit 172 (Herron Street), merge onto Herron/Bibb Street, then turn left onto Coosa Street.
- From I-85 South: take Exit 1 (Union Street), turn right on Union Street, left on Madison Avenue, then right on Coosa Street.
All three routes converge on the same short block, so wherever your group starts from, the last turn is the same: onto Coosa Street, straight at the ballpark gates.
The Drive from Downtown Hotels to DABOS Park
Most out-of-town groups base out of a downtown hotel near the Alabama State Capitol, and the run from that cluster to the ballpark is short — well under ten minutes outside of rush hour, with the last stretch running straight down Coosa Street. A charter bus or minibus rental means your group leaves the hotel lobby together and gets dropped at the same curb, instead of splitting into rideshares that each find their own way through downtown's one-way blocks.
Two Blocks from the Original Union Station
If your group is staying near the historic Union Station depot on the riverfront, the ballpark is close enough to walk — roughly two blocks. That's a fine option for a couple, but it stops working the moment your group hits double digits and has to cross Coosa Street together after dark. A minibus or party bus rental covers that same short hop in one load, with everyone arriving at once instead of a straggling line down the sidewalk.
DABOS Park Parking for a Charter Bus or Party Bus
DABOS Park doesn't publish a dedicated, priced parking deck the way a big-league park does — groups driving in rely on the street-level lots and metered spaces that surround the Coosa, Tallapoosa, and Commerce Street block, and none of it is reserved ahead of time for oversized vehicles. The one specific spot the ballpark does publish is handicap parking in front of the box office on Tallapoosa Street, per the ballpark's own information page.
That gap is exactly why a bus works better than driving separately. Instead of five cars each hunting the same block of street parking, one charter bus or minibus finds its own staging spot near the ballpark and holds it — and because the drop-off and staging plan for your specific game date gets confirmed when you book, your group isn't left guessing at a curb that might already be full of cars circling for the same handful of open spaces.
Gates, Bag Policy & Getting Back In at DABOS Park
Per the ballpark's own published policies, DABOS Park's gates open one hour and five minutes before the scheduled first pitch. Build your pickup time backward from that, not from the announced game time — a bus that drops your group right at the open gates beats one that arrives just as the anthem starts.
The bag policy is strict and worth knowing before anyone packs a cooler bag for the ride:
- Clear bags only. Diaper bags (with a child present) and medical bags are the exceptions, and both are subject to a thorough search at the gate.
- No outside food, beverages, or weapons are permitted past the gates.
- Re-entry is allowed. Fans can leave and return during a Biscuits game with a hand stamp from the ticket takers — useful if part of your group steps out to meet the bus early or grab something from the vehicle.
- DABOS Park is a smoke-free facility; the same hand-stamp re-entry policy applies if anyone needs to step outside.
Because coolers and non-clear bags don't make it past the gate anyway, the bus itself becomes the holding spot for anything your group doesn't want to carry in — jackets, extra bags, gear for after the game — instead of leaving it in a car parked blocks away.
What Size Bus Fits Your Group for a DABOS Park Trip
Ballpark groups run the full range, from a dozen coworkers grabbing a suite to a fifty-person church or company outing filling a block of general admission seats. Picking the right vehicle comes down to headcount and how much gear is coming along.
| Group size | Vehicle | Good fit for |
|---|---|---|
| Up to about 18 | 18-passenger minibus | A suite group or small office outing |
| Around 20–28 | 25-passenger minibus / 28-passenger minibus | A youth league team, a church group, a birthday crowd |
| Around 30–35 | 30-passenger minibus / 35-passenger minibus | A department outing or a full club section |
| 15–50 | party bus rental | A bachelor or bachelorette group, a milestone birthday, a night that starts before the first pitch |
| Larger groups, longer trips | charter bus rental | A big company picnic, a fundraiser night, or any group riding in from outside Montgomery |
Browse the full vehicle lineup to see everything available, or call 334-851-3310 and describe your headcount — a quick conversation is usually enough to land on the right size without paying for seats nobody needs.
DABOS Park Party Bus & Charter Bus Rental Prices
Pricing for a DABOS Park run depends on the vehicle size, how many hours you need it reserved, the date on the Biscuits schedule, and where your group is starting from. A quick office outing that only needs a bus for three or four hours around the ballpark prices differently than an all-day rental that also covers dinner beforehand.
To give you an idea of how the math works: a 25-person office group books a minibus for a Tuesday night game, with pickup from a downtown office at 5:30 PM, drop-off at DABOS Park by 6:00 PM — ahead of the gates opening — and a return pickup arranged for after the final out. A rental like that, covering roughly four hours, might land somewhere in the low hundreds per hour, split across the group it can work out to well under $20 a person once you account for what everyone would have spent on gas and a parking search instead.
Every quote varies by date, group size, and how long you keep the vehicle, so treat that as a planning example rather than a quote. The fastest way to get a number for your date is to call 334-851-3310 or use the online quote tool — it takes about a minute, and you'll see vehicle options and pricing before you commit to anything. The Montgomery bus rental prices page walks through the same factors in more detail if you want the full picture first.
Leaving DABOS Park After the Final Out
Downtown Montgomery's street grid tightens right around the ballpark, and when a few thousand fans hit the sidewalks at once on Coosa and Tallapoosa Streets, that stretch of downtown gets busy fast. A charter bus or party bus rental sidesteps the worst of it: the vehicle stages nearby during the game rather than trying to find a spot at the final buzzer, and your group has one agreed meeting point — the same curb you were dropped at — instead of a scramble to find whoever parked three blocks away.
Because re-entry works on a hand-stamp system, it's easy to send part of the group out early to confirm the bus is staged and ready, without anyone losing their spot inside. Set the pickup window before the game starts, and the bus is waiting when your group walks out instead of the other way around.
Montgomery Biscuits Group Outings at DABOS Park
The Biscuits play as the Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays in the Southern League, and DABOS Park is built around exactly the kind of crowd a bus is good for. The Club Car Bar, tucked along the first-base line inside the historic train shed, is a climate-controlled spot with beers on tap — a natural landing point for a group that arrives together and wants somewhere to gather before finding seats. Families and casual groups tend to spread out on the Outfield Lawn, a more relaxed, open area than the fixed seating bowl.
Larger corporate or club outings often look at the Executive Box sections behind home plate for a group that wants to stay together in one block.
Promotional nights — theme games, giveaways, and family events like Bark in the Park — tend to draw bigger crowds than a standard weeknight, which is exactly when the parking crunch around Coosa Street gets worse and a bus pays off the most. The full slate of 2026 home dates is posted on the team's own Montgomery Biscuits schedule page, worth checking before you lock in a date so your group's trip lines up with a promotion night if that's part of the appeal.

Is DABOS Park the same place as Riverwalk Stadium?
Yes. If you've been before under the old name, nothing about the location, the gates, or the drive in has changed — only the name on the building did.
Where does a charter bus drop off at DABOS Park?
Buses approach on Coosa Street, the same block the ballpark's own directions route vehicles to from both I-65 and I-85. The exact curb and staging spot for your group's date gets confirmed when you book, since the block is tight and doesn't have a marked, dedicated bus zone.
