Fluor Field at the West End

Affordable brews, variety in food selection, beautiful stadium. One of the best minor league ballparks in the country. They have a great selection of craft brews out in the 500 club. Got a 20 oz local craft for about 5.50 which is honestly cheaper than a lot of bars in Greenville. Another nice perk is it conveniently located to hotels in downtown. We walked down from the Westin Poinsett and it was a nice 15 minute stroll. The area between downtown and the park are also really safe and provide a lot of places to grab a bite to eat.

I love coming to Greenville Drive games because there are hot dogs, beer, and good weather. Generally, there are good people too, which creates an environment where I have enough patience to sit through an entire baseball game. The Drive is a family friendly environment good for all ages to enjoy a beautiful night in downtown Greenville, and the team is pretty good too!
The stadium is absolutely beautiful, and it also has relatively clean public bathrooms. I can’t think of a better way to spend a summer evening in downtown Greenville. Fresh air, friends, and did I mention the food? #imainlygoforthehotdogs

We LOVE this family friendly ball park! Great baseball from the Greenvile Drive. The Greenville Drive is a minor league baseball team. They are a Class A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox and a member of the South Atlantic League. A GREAT place to visit and/​or support !!!
Can’t beat the hot dogs and beer!

Nice game at the Red Sox affiliate:

My family has been Drive season ticket holders since 2008, and going to Fluor Field for Drive games never gets old.
The stadium is beautiful and I love how proud they are to be a Red Sox affiliate. There’s a decent beer selection, and while the food is still ballpark food (as in, none of it is AMAZING) there’s a lot of options to choose from. Ticket prices are cheap and no, they do not charge «major league prices» for their food and beverage. Anyone who has been to a major league stadium would know that. (I’ve paid $ 7 or more for a crappy Miller Lite at major league stadiums vs. $ 5 for a decent Yuengling at Fluor; hot dogs at Fluor are almost half the price of most major league baseball stadiums, etc.)
Even when the team isn’t doing well, the fans are really into it. They’ve got some over-​the-​top entertainment but it’s all in good fun and makes Drive games great ‘different’ outings for adults as well as wonderful family-​friendly activities.
The only issue I have — and the reason I’m rating Fluor four stars instead of five — is that as the years have passed these games (especially opening and weekend games, of course) have become more and more popular, and especially last season and this season it seems that they are either understaffed or that their staff don’t know how to handle the crowds. It has resulted in once-​impeccable bathrooms having several clogged/​dirty toilets and insane lines at the ID check stations and every single food/​beverage counter. Again, this is a more recent development, so I just hope that they’ll fix the issue sooner rather than later.
Also, the last time I was there the water fountains weren’t working. I’m hoping that’s just a fluke and they aren’t being jerks and not turning them on so people will buy more bottled water.

Open since 2006, Flour Field is a gem of a stadium; which is home to the Greenville Drive, the Class A Affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. The park is modeled after Fenway Park and has a mini «Green Monster.» You will find other Red Sox related/​themed features within the park, such as Sweet Caroline’s, a «Pesky Pole,» and the «500 Club.»
Come on down and watch a game. Play ball!

The DRIVE Stadium.
This is how Fluor Field, home to the BoSox Single-​A affiliate, is often referred.
The stadium borders the West end of downtown, where you can find a handful of restaurants very close by for a pregame beer.
Pick up a ticket for any seat in the stadium, the sight lines are great from everywhere. On Thursdays, enjoy from the 500 club bar in right field — where you can find $ 1 beers. Don’t bother with the food at the stadium — although you will find a Chik-​fil a inside.
For stress-​free free parking, park in the lot at 229 University Ridge and take the free shuttle that starts running 45min before first pitch. Otherwise, take your chances around the stadium where you will find free on-​street parking and $ 5 pay lots.

Located in the heart of the city, there is never a dull moment at Fluor Field. I’ve been to several minor league baseball games in my time & I must say, none like a Drive game. Very inexpensive, parking everywhere, family friendly, good food, & most importantly $ 1 beer night on Thursdays & Fireworks on Fridays!

YES. Yes. yes.
Everything about this place is a yes. Food. Yes.
Talent. Yes.
Location. Yes.
Stadium. Yes.
And they are close to Funnelicious (see previous review!)
Best Minor League venue I have been to in YEARS!!!

Unlike a lot of minor league teams, you’ll know almost immediately that the Drive is affiliated with the Boston Red Sox. Not only are there Sox logos scattered in various places throughout the park but if you enter from the third base side the first thing you’ll see when you come up the steps is Greenville’s smaller version of the Green Monster, complete with manual scoreboard. Really cool. As a matter of fact, all the field dimensions of FF are identical to that of Fenway.
As other reviews have said, the food is overpriced but what ballpark food isn’t any more? My $ 5 brat and sauerkraut were actually very good and on par with others I’ve had at major league parks. I’ll always love the Big Smokey dogs at Cincinnati Reds games, tho. A big tub of popcorn and a soda in a souvenir cup were each $ 3.50.
Overall, it was a great place to see a game and fairly easy on the budget. The park itself is gorgeous as is the downtown area it sits in. It’s a nice, family atmosphere, perfect for taking the wife and kids to on a warm, summer evening. Parking and the shuttle are free from the County Square lot which is nice, too.
I’ll admit, it was a little strange going to see my new home team play my old home team but it did make it a little more interesting for our family!

I went to a Drive game here last night with about 6 others for $ 1 beer night and had a really nice evening.
It may sound silly but I really like the layout here; it’s small and simple, seats are easy to find, lots of places to grab food so no one place gets too backed up. Also, they have a bar (I can’t recall the name) elevated above everything else to the side of right field and it was pretty spacious and nice.
For food I had the Greenville Drive Dog and my girlfriend ordered the Italian Sausage. My hot dog was good with pulled pork on top and loads of cole slaw. It didn’t have a lot of balance (I could barely taste anything over all the slaw) but I sort of liked that. When I go to the park I’m looking to stuff my face, not for balance or play with flavors. The Italian Sausage said it came with grilled peppers and onions on the menu, but they were in fact just chopped raw and tossed on there. Still edible, but we were happier with mine.
For seating, I suggest getting an area lower than section 113 if you go in the evening. If you are beyond that, the sun will shine in your eyes for about an hour of the game as it sets. The seats themselves were fine and relatively comfortable. Tickets were affordable.
They only played 7 innings, but considering it was a week night and I was several cheap beers deep, I was relieved to hear they weren’t playing out the final two. The place is very family oriented, as well, so I can understand that they probably wouldn’t want to let things go past 10pm.
In all, the game went for 6 and a half innings with Greenville winning 4 to 2 over Asheville. The final out of the game was a diving lung at a foul ball which happened right in front of our seats which was pretty cool.
I’ll likely start making more regular visits to Fluor Field and would suggest everyone living in Greenville go check it out at least once.

Fun! I can now say I have sang «Sweet Caroline» at a ball game. This ball park is a lot of fu, as for the food, we were treated the Picnic in the Park by my company and the food was ok, BBQ, burgers, dawgs and sweet tea. Beer is $ 5 and ice cold. The atmosphere at a minor league game is a lot different than MLB. Very kid friendly for a Saturday night. Can’t wait to go to a River Dog game.

Fluor Field is a great addition to Greenville’s West End. Tickets are cheap enough to go to a game whenever you would like and there really isn’t a bad seat. So happy Greenville has a baseball team again and glad they live in Downtown!

The Drive stadium is the crown jewel of the recently (ish) renovated West End. It’s fast becoming Greenville’s «big-​city» claim-​to-​fame in my opinion. As others have said, it was modeled after Fenway and has a feel-​good ambience.
Typical baseball fare as far as food is concerned, with BBQ, boiled peanuts, Subway (!), hot dogs, pizza, etc etc. Overpriced as is expected for a ball field.
Great for the whole family, but if you’re like me and don’t have a family juuuust yet, go for a Thursday evening game — when they have $ 1 PBRs. A huge sect of the 20-​something year olds in the Greenville population frequent the stadium on Thursday nights, so you’ll probably be in for a night of socializing as well as cheering on the home team.
Seriously one of my favorite activities to do in the great city of Greenville. Make it one of yours too.

A very nice park! As nice as Carolina Stadium.
To top it off, the game my daughter & I attended turned out to be military appreciation day at the field. It started with a parade (Patriot Guard, ROTC units, veterans, etc) in downtown Greenville that stretched to the ball field. As a former (and still very proud) Marine, I appreciated the gesture. There were also recruiters from all 4 branches set up with stations, and a couple Brigadier Generals included in the opening ceremonies. I thought they did a good job honoring us veterans and current military forces. A big thank you for that.
The food prices are, I agree, a little ridiculous, but I’m finding that at most sporting events these days (unfortunate as it is)…
I can’t wait to return! I wish I had one of those apartments with the balconies that overlooks center-​field!

Fluor Field is always a joy to visit: clean; well signed; smooth traffic flow; fun shenanigans; and wide choice of eats and drinks. Trolley pulls right up to back gate and whisks you to your parking area! I especially enjoyed the 8^th inning stretch and even my sticky spouse joined in singing «Sweet Caroline!»

Beautiful family friendly ballpark. I saw some helpful ushers volunteering to take pictures for families. It was very cool to see all the military folks being honored.
EAT BEFORE YOU COME. Their food service just plain sucks. I ordered cheeseburgers for myself and my friend and the cheese wasn’t even melted. Another friend in our group ordered a cheeseburger and had to wait 20 minutes. Same result. Half cooked burger. Yet they have the audacity to charge major league prices for their crappy food. Maybe the Chick Fil A stand is better but 7^th Inning Stretch needs to go.
I would go to another game here, but I would definitely plan on eating at one of the local establishments outside the ballpark and actually get my money’s worth.

Terrific new ballpark that will surely become a symbol of Greenville’s thriving downtown area. I was here recently for a Clemson/​USC baseball game. I haven’t been to a Drive game, so I can’t comment on the atmosphere for minor league ball. I hope to see many more college games here though. Here are the things I liked:
Architecture — Very pleasing to the eye. You’ll find a lot of brick work with iron trim. The concourse has a view of the field all the way around the stands.
The Field — Laid out very similar to Fenway in Boston. Green monster? Yeah they’ve got it. This is an appropriate tribute to the major league club the Drive is affiliated with.
Orientation of the park — The sun sets behind the seating area. This is bad for outfielders trying to catch popups, great for fans who hate afternoon sun.
Shoeless Joe — Can you tell that Greenville has a love affair with Joe Jackson? To say they pay him homage is an understatement. The West End has a serious boner for the guy. Yeah he lived here. Yeah he was a great ballplayer. What ethics problems?
Some things they could improve on…
Bathrooms — Not large enough for the crowd they had this past week.
Food — Standard ballgame stuff. I didn’t see anything unique. Maybe things are different at Drive games.
General Admission — They WAY oversold this for the Clemson/​USC game. The grass section along left field is cool but filled up fast. The bar area in right field is pretty cool but don’t expect a great view of the action.
