Friday Night is a special night for the Greenville baseball community. The Drive will wear special “throwback-style” uniforms honoring the Greenville Black Spinners. The Black Spinners played at Mayberry Field, which is currently being restored as part of the overall Unity Park projects.

During the pre-game ceremonies, the Drive will recognize Frank White, the only remaining living Black Spinners player, as well as family members of former Black Spinners players.

Throughout the game, vignettes will run on the DriveVision video board, telling the story of the Black Spinners, Sterling High School, and the Negro League All-Stars that all once played at Mayberry Field. You don't want to miss this special recognition.

Closing out the night with a bang, Friday Fireworks, lit up by illumifin is back! One of the best fireworks shows in the Upstate, you don’t want to miss this finale celebration.

Also, get to the game early to take advantage of Thirst Inning, where Bud Light, Budweiser, and Michelob Ultras are just $2 each (limit 2 per person) during the first inning of the game.

PARKING / TROLLEYS

• Complimentary parking is available for every game at County Square - located off of University Ridge and just a few hundred steps from the Field Street Gate at Fluor Field.
• Trolleys run complimentary from County Square beginning one hour before first pitch time. The trolleys make two stops at Fluor Field, dropping fans off close to the Field Street Gate and then at the Main Street Gate.
• The trolleys will make trips post-game until there are no longer fans waiting for them at Fluor Field.
• The trolley loop takes approximately 20-25 minutes before returning to County Square, due to the path it must take with construction traffic.
