The 18th home season of Montgomery Biscuits baseball opens on Tuesday and while the action on the field is expected to be exciting, fans can look forward to the traditions that have made each night special at Riverwalk Stadium.
Montgomery is again the Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays and competes in the Southern League in the South Division along with Biloxi (Brewers), Mississippi (Braves) and Pensacola (Marlins). The North Division is comprised of the Rocket City (Angels), Birmingham (White Sox), Tennessee (Cubs) and Chattanooga (Reds).
The Biscuits open a six-game set with Tennessee beginning Tuesday continuing through Sunday. Weekdays games have a 6:35 first pitch while games on Saturday begin at 6:05 p.m. Sunday games begin at 3:33 p.m.
In most cases, all series will be six games beginning on Tuesdays. Every team in minor league baseball has off days on Mondays.
Nightly promos cover the entire home schedule including the opener with a postgame fireworks show. In all, there are 29 giveaways, 14 fireworks shows, 12 themed weekends, 11 T-shirt nights, and five specialty jerseys.
“We are ecstatic to get back to a full season of Biscuits Baseball in 2022,” said Biscuits general manager Mike Murphy. “We have worked hard this off-season to build a promotional schedule for our fans that will keep the excitement level high for all 69 home games from April through September.”
This season, each homestand will feature a themed weekend including Foodie Weekend, Movie Weekend, Baking Weekend, 80’s Weekend, Alabama Weekend and much more.
