Greenville Drive Organization Overview

The Greenville Drive, founded in 2006, is the Minor League Baseball Class-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, a relationship that has been in place since the beginning. Before the team relocated to Greenville, the team played in Columbia, SC as the Capital City Bombers. The Drive play at Fluor Field in Downtown Greenville - a mini replica of iconic Fenway Park - complete with its own "Green Monster" and manual scoreboard in left field.

In its inaugural season in 2006, the Drive received Ballpark of the Year recognition, beating out all other newly constructed stadiums across minor league and professional sports. In 2008, the Drive's stadium was officially renamed "Fluor Field" after the Drive announced a naming rights agreement with Fluor Corporation - a global leader in engineering & construction. Each year Fluor Field hosts 66 Greenville Drive baseball games and 30-35 amateur baseball games. In addition, under the year-round West End Events brand, Fluor Field hosts the community's highest profile events including Artisphere, Euphoria, Imagine Upstate, and many others. The Drive's contributions to Minor League Baseball and, more specifically, the Greenville community, were recognized by being awarded the John H. Johnson Award in November 2017. This award, given to only one of Minor League's 120 total teams each year, is considered the highest organizational achievement in Minor League Baseball and is based on community commitment, operational excellence, and overall franchise stability.

For 18 years, the Greenville Drive has created a highly visible and widely embraced community engagement platform at Fluor Field, reaching over 1 million ballpark guests and digital followers across the Upstate of South Carolina each year. This broad-reaching platform provides the Drive the opportunity to position itself as a community entity that businesses and community organizations alike can utilize to achieve critical tangible & intangible results. Collaborating closely with the leading corporations, associations and community-based organizations that shape the quality of life in the Upstate, the Drive has formed strategic partnerships that positively impact a variety of critical initiatives. From Education to Entrepreneurism, from Youth Leadership to Healthy Living, and from Regionalism to Workforce Development, the Drive have creatively and continuously leveraged its community engagement platform that is Fluor Field to positively impact these and other key quality of life community drivers.

Furthermore, West End Events, a division of the Greenville Drive organization that focuses on creating and executing the community's highest profile & most impactful events on a year-round basis, is the fastest growing aspect of the Greenville Drive organization. West End Events currently hosts events of all shapes & sizes including corporate board meetings and functions, wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, large community/city events, concerts, philanthropic events, and more.
