Representatives from Milliken, a manufacturer based in the Upstate, and the Greenville Drive gathered together to unveil Milliken Plaza at Fluor Field on April 11.
The plaza, which is adjacent to District 356 Entertainment District at Fluor Field, acts as one of two main entry points into the ballpark and includes:
- Oversized banners displaying the various Milliken innovations connected to baseball
- “Homegrown Heroes” wall spotlighting specific Milliken Honors recipients as well as notable Greenville Drive alums
- An area showcasing Milliken’s commitment to sustainability
- Photo opportunities for fans and ballpark guests
“I can’t tell you how excited and proud we are to expand and enhance our already best-in-class partnership with Milliken with the addition of Milliken Plaza to Fluor Field,” said Greenville Drive Team President Jeff Brown. “Milliken’s commitment to the community, to innovation, to manufacturing and to its associates is second to none and we’re excited to help elevate and enhance Milliken’s story at Fluor Field on a year-round basis with the new plaza and to do so in a way that also elevates the experience for all of our ballpark guests.”
Milliken has also launched its “Digital First Pitch Experience” at the stadium, where fans can mimic the act of throwing a baseball toward a digital screen, and capture speed, distance and other analytics.
