Seating Capacity
Riverwalk Stadium is currently operating at a reduced capacity. Designated sections of the ballpark will be dedicated as “Social Distance Sections” where six feet of separation will be maintained between each pod of ticket buyers (maximum of six seats together). The same protocol will be followed for areas of the stadium where scouts, MLB Personnel, and “friends and family” of players / staff will be located. Please contact the Biscuits Box Office for more information and to reserve your seats in these dedicated sections (334-323-BALL). Some areas of the ballpark will be off limits to fans to ensure a safe buffer between players and fans. Please do not enter marked areas around the home and visiting dugouts and bullpens.
Stolen or Lost Tickets
Please remember that game tickets are like money and should be secured like cash. Should tickets be lost or stolen, please contact the Biscuits Box Office immediately.
Refunds
There are no refunds once a ticket has been purchased. However, if you are a season ticket holder entitled to Diamond Club benefits, you can bring your unused season ticket to the box office and exchange it for a ticket of equal or lesser value for a later date, subject to availability.
Rain Checks
A game is considered official after five complete innings (4 ½ innings when the Biscuits are leading). If a game is stopped before it becomes official or before it starts, your ticket will act as a rain check for a future game. Suspended game tickets cannot be exchanged. You can redeem your ticket at the Box Office for tickets to a future game, subject to availability.
Will Call
Game tickets may be picked up at the Biscuits Box Office during normal hours of operation. Tickets can only be released to the person whose name the tickets are being held under, with proper identification.
200 Coosa St. Montgomery, AL
“I feel like if you can play short, you can play any other position,” Proctor said, “and I’ve played second and third in high school and summer ball or college and summer ball. Everyone on the team was a shortstop so I could rotate positions and play second or third and, of course, short. So it got me used to playing all the positions.”
Catcher was another matter, so when he saw an opportunity to spend the winter months playing in the Australian Baseball League, he seized it. He had worked out at catcher at the Rays’ alternate training site in September and played in instructional league camp but here was an opportunity to play games in front of crowds in a winter league.
Proctor was one of seven players from the Rays’ minor league organization sent to the Perth Heat just before Thanksgiving.
“The whole reason I went down there was to catch, just to get some games under my belt before I went into spring training and this season,” Proctor said. “But it was cool. COVID, pretty much, was nonexistent down there. They’re strict with their protocols, which is why they’ve been able to handle the situation well, but we got down there and had a two-week quarantine in a hotel. It turned out to be worth it because once you get out, everything is back to normal -- no masks, no restrictions at restaurants, no occupancy rules. It was like going back to 2019.
But while Proctor prepared to catch for the first time at the Double-A level, the “can’t-miss” part of his profile -- his bat -- has been slow to adjust to the higher level. “I kind of got off to a slow start,” he said. “I’m starting to feel better now. I don’t find it to be extremely difficult. I mean, there’s good players but it’s just another level you have to adjust to and adapt to.”
It’s good that he has Gray, who is at Triple-A Durham, on speed dial because the former college teammate went through a similar slow start at Montgomery in 2019.
“We’ve talked and he’s just kind of told me to hang in there and keep going and the success will come,” Proctor said.
Meanwhile, at catcher, he continues to get as much work as Pinto, the returning starter. Former Montgomery teammate Shane Baz, recently promoted to Durham, had nothing but praise for Proctor. “This is hi s first year,” Baz said. “He just started catching this year and he’s been really good. I’m fine with either of those guys back there.”
Proctor said the transition would be complete whenever people quit referring to him as the new guy.
