Greenville Drive Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Family Fun for Everyone

Greenville Drive Creates An Experience Everyone Loves

Fluor Field’s North End entrance is full of excitement with it’s Greenville Drive marquee sign and brick and stone paved plaza. Add in the giant baseballs all in a row and you have an attractive and fun spot for kids to climb and families to take photos!

In the middle of all this and seemingly right at home, is the statue of “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. Did you know that before Jackson became a famous ballplayer, he was a mill worker at Brandon Mills in West Greenville?

With his connection to Greenville’s past, the “Shoeless” Joe’s statue location highlights the city’s mill town past and memories of old textile baseball leagues. Ballgames were already a popular form of recreation and community building, even back then.

Fluor Field’s East End entrance on Augusta Street offers the opportunity to sit by the bar or at picnic tables and enjoy great view of the action behind first base.

Flashback Fridays – Greenville Drive Celebrates 20 years!

This is a fun Friday treat that features many of the players, fans & community that have helped create the Greenville Drive family over the past 20 years. Travel back in time with the Drive!

Friday Night Fireworks

Every Friday at Fluor Field is Friday Night Fireworks! Fans are welcome to stay after the game to enjoy a spectacular fireworks show!

Bark in the Park

During Park in the Park games, fans are encouraged to bring their pups to the ballpark to enjoy the game and lots of prizes and treats! If you’re lucky, your kids & dogs may even get the chance to run the bases! We’re told this is one of Greenville Drive’s favorite Sunday afternoon traditions.

Reading All-Stars

Kids LOVE this one! They read their favorite books and the Greenville Drive rewards them!

The Reading All-Stars program is a reading incentive challenge for any K5-8th grade student aimed at promoting reading and academic success across the Upstate. Students are challenged to read 5 reading-level appropriate books (Elementary Schools) or 500 pages (Middle Schools) in a 5-week time period to qualify as a Reading All-Star.

Over 1,220,000 students have participated in our program and nearly 330,00 students have qualified as Reading All-Stars!

Saturdays on the District

Every Saturday Drive home game, District 356 (formerly Field Street) transforms into a party for the whole family! Enjoy inflatable games, live music performances, face painting, balloon artists, food and beverage stations from local favorites and, of course, shopping from the Drive team store. Everyone loves Saturdays on the District!

Greenville Drive Team Store

Once you arrive, you can find will-call ticket booths alongside the Greenville Drive team store. Rolling barn doors offer more browsing space for souvenir shopping. Here’s a little trivia for you: did you know the store used to be a 1920s firehouse? Stop in and make sure to look up at the original tin ceilings!

Front Porch Lounge

Fluor Field has often been referred to as downtown’s “front porch.” As a nod to this, the Drive features their Front Porch lounge, a 2,700-square-foot hospitality area for Drive Ticket Plan holders. The lounge offers comfortable indoor seating, a full-service bar, flat-screen televisions and other fun ballpark perks.

The Rooftop and Champion Lounge

One thing for sure, if you are catching a game, you can’t help but glance across the field and admire the Rooftop wondering, “How did the people get up there?” The Rooftop space is an events venue atop the adjacent Fieldhouse building with its own express elevator. This area can accommodate up to 75 people, providing picturesque views of the ballpark and downtown Greenville. 

The Rooftop even has a private food and beverage menu. Another venue is the Champions Club. The Club offers over 3,700 square feet of space; accommodating groups of 100-300 people. The space is air-conditioned and even has outdoor seating, making a great location for events year-round events.

5 Tips for Visiting the Greenville Drive With Kids

1. Check for Promotions

It happened to be “Bark in the Park” during our visit, which worked out perfectly for our family! All the dogs were on leashes and very friendly. This not only provided a good distraction for our 22 month old, but we enjoyed seeing all the furry friends as well. If you have allergies or a child with a fear of dogs, this would not be a great game for you to attend. Always check the game & promotions schedule in advance.

2. Take Advantage of FREE Trolley Rides from your Parking Lot

Park at one of the parking lots near a trolley pick-up location (there are a bunch along Pendleton Street), low-cost City Parking garages and paved lots located on or near River Street. The trolleys run every 10 minutes before and after the game and every 15 minutes during the game. BONUS: the Trolley runs throughout the entire game! Whenever you’re ready to head home, just leave the field and catch a ride back to your car.

3. Bring Only What You Need

Make sure to review the Greenville Drive’s bag policy closely before heading to the stadium. Gone are the days of being able to walk right in with a diaper bag stuffed with everything!

4. Be Aware in the Play Area

With good intentions, the rules state that children should be under a certain height and should be supervised while playing. Stick close by your little one if they need a play break…this is not an area I would advise to just sit and watch.

5. Get Tickets in Advance

The Sunday we went also happened to be Masters Sunday so the crowd was a little lighter than usual. My husband went back on a Friday (fireworks) night with his brother and the game was sold out! Standing room only!

Family Friendly Year-Round Events at Fluor Field

Fluor Field has made a name for itself that is much more than baseball thanks to West End Events at Fluor Field. There are events throughout the year and a bunch that are family-friendly. Here is a list of the more popular events to check out!

• Easter Eggstravaganza: Every spring you can watch your kid race across the field collecting as many eggs as their little basket can hold. There is typically a picnic, pictures with the Easter Bunny, and tons of kid-friendly activities to enjoy.
• 4th of July at Fluor Field: Every Independence Day, you can watch a baseball game and fireworks in celebration of our nation’s biggest celebratory holiday. There is special programming this day for military appreciation, including flyovers and more! This year’s celebration is July 3rd.
• Reading All Stars: If your kid participates in a summer reading program through their local library, chances are they will receive a ticket to the Reading All Stars game with Greenville Drive.
• The Green Monster Mash: Enjoy kid-friendly Halloween activities, including inflatables, face paintings, costume contests, and more during this annual event.
• Kringle Holiday Village: Get into the holiday spirit with this holiday market, fun inflatables, and Santa!
