River Bandits open the season with a new stadium look

April 7, 2011 By Todd Kimm

When the Quad Cities River Bandits open the Midwest League season tonight fans will see a number of upgrades in and around Modern Woodmen Park.

River Bandits general manager Kirk Goodman says the biggest change is a whole new flood wall put up by the city that will protect the entire front of the stadium. He says the stadium also features a new entry plaza. The team will host the Midwest League All Star Game this season and Goodman says they have been working for about two years to get ready.

Goodman says you don’t get many chances to host the All Star game, so they hope to make it a showcase for Davenpot.

Goodman says it will be the last time they host the All Star Game for a number of years. He says it used to be whoever wanted to host the game got it, but he says the game has become more popular, and now it is on a rotational system.
