First Trip to River Bandits and Modern Woodmen Park
Finally made it out to a Quad City River Bandits Game and Modern Woodmen Park during dinner break on Tuesday night. It's like 5 minutes from the station. (Click the link below to see my --cell phone pics in a Facebook photo album).

This place is nestled with the the scenic Centennial Bridge on one side, the Mississippi River-barges, Riverboats, etc just beyond the center field fence with the Rock Island skyline in the background. In left field there's a grass berm for folks to sit on with the Davenport skyline overhead. Out front, there's active train tracks. This place has so much character it's oozing with class.
The fragrances wafting around the lower concourse from the multiple vendors is mouthwatering. The gift shop is well stocked with all sorts of souvenirs from the River Bandits (a Cardinals minor league team). There's not a bad seat in the house.
On my trip I was able to get a cell phone pic with the Cardinals World Series Trophy....also on display the QC River Bandits 2011 Midwest League Championship Trophy.
Championship team (River Bandits), Championship Organization (Cardinals), Top Shelf Ball Park.
I give this place a 5 out of 5 for watching minor league baseball. It's amazing.
