Sparrow Stadium was the home field of the Florence Flamingos, a collegiate summer baseball team in the Coastal Plain League, from 2012 to 2021.[2] The then Florence RedWolves moved to Sparrow Stadium in the middle of the 2012 season because Florence's American Legion Field, built in 1968, no longer met Coastal Plain League standards, lacking a visitors clubhouse and having questionable field conditions.[5][6] Sparrow Stadium hosted the Coastal Plain League All-Star Game on July 12, 2015.[7] The Flamingos moved in 2022 to the new Carolina Bank Field in Florence.[8][9]
