Louisville RiverBats

The Louisville Riverbats were a former team in Louisville, Kentucky

History
In 1999, when the Redbirds became affiliated with the Brewers, they took the name Louisville RiverBats. In 2000 the team moved to Louisville Slugger Field, a new stadium in downtown Louisville, seating 13,131 with a more intimate baseball setting than at Cardinal Stadium. Spectators enter the stadium through the restored "train shed" building, which was formerly the Brinly-Hardy Co. warehouse. In 2002 the team dropped the word "River" from its name and became simply known as the Louisville Bats.
