Council approved more than $3 million for Riverwalk Stadium upgrades as new owners plan further investment

Unidentified Speaker announced that the Montgomery Biscuits have new ownership and that the council approved "well over $3,000,000" for stadium upgrades required by Major League Baseball. The speaker said OnDeck Partners and CEO Mike Carney attended a ribbon cutting and plan further investments in suites, seating and design.

The transcript lists city staff and partners thanked for work on the upgrades, including Kimby Tate, Brandon Dean and "Bargain and Davidson Semmes" (as stated in the transcript). Unidentified Speaker said the council approved the funds specifically to meet MLB requirements and expressed optimism that new private investment will expand amenities at Riverwalk Stadium.

The speaker said the Biscuits should return to play in about six weeks and described the partnership with OnDeck Partners as bringing a larger real‑estate portfolio and "a little little bigger checkbook" to the team. The transcript does not record a formal vote count or ordinance number; the approval was described verbally in the remarks and the financial figure was stated as "well over $3,000,000."
