While the big-league stadiums in cities like Baltimore and San Diego do well to incorporate preexisting buildings into their designs, and the aforementioned Fifth Third Field does quite well, too, no ballpark succeeds as fully in this regard as Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium in Alabama.
The stadium was built around an old railroad storage facility that has stood at its present location since 1898. The "train shed" is a long, thin building that rises behind the field-level seats along the first-base line. Fans pass through it as they enter the stadium and find the concession stands and restrooms tucked right into it. And, upstairs, the train shed houses several luxury boxes that hang their balconies right over the first-level concourse.
"Those in the suites enjoy the rustic feel of 19th century charm, along with the luxury of padded seats and full food and beverage service," said Biscuits radio play-by-play broadcaster Jim Tocco. "Montgomery is a town proud of its history, and this was a perfect way to mix the city's heritage with its present and future."
