Fluor Field at the West End is the home of the Greenville Drive, the Boston Red Sox' High-A South Atlantic League farm team. The Fluor Corp. engineering firm landed naming rights in 2008.

The ballpark that was then known as West End Field opened in 2006, two years after the Atlanta Braves yanked their owned-and-operated Double-A team from Greenville Municipal Stadium to Mississippi because they were unhappy with the ballpark's condition.

The ballpark was built entirely with private money but not entirely with private resources: In a true public-private partnership, team ownership paid for building the playpen on city-owned land. Eighteen seasons later, it continues to get glowing reports for turning around a dilapidated area of the city's downtown.[1]

Echoes of Boston's Fenway Park, which are everywhere, earned it the nickname "Little Fenway" - the 30-foot tall "[[Green Monster]" in left field (although Fenway's is 37 feet tall), Pesky's Pole in right, and the outfield dimensions all around. It even has a manual scoreboard, one of eight in the minors.

An echo of history lies right across the street: the Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum. The Greenville native's last residence, which was moved there in 2008, was moved again July 30, 2020 - this time just 100 yards west. That move took less than an hour and cleared the way for an apartment complex named ".408 Jackson" - a salute to Shoeless Joe's all-time Major League record rookie-season batting average. The Coronavirus pandemic delayed the museum's reopening to June 25, 2021.

The 6,700-seat ballpark jumped its house baseball record crowd by nearly 300 on April 24, 2022 - hosting 7,839 that included 2022 Reading All Stars from the four counties that border Greenville County. The RAS Celebration Game for Greenville County students the following May 3rd also outdrew the previous mark, 7,554 over 7,551.
