The field dimensions of both stadiums also match Fenway Park. The same is true for a practice field in Fort Myers behind JetBlue Park, which has its own Green Monster. The idea behind replicating Fenway Park is to allow the team’s prospects working their way up the farm system to get accustomed to the quirks of the real thing in Boston.

There are a few exceptions with regard to the Green Monster. The original wall in Boston is 37 feet high. JetBlue Park’s Green Monster wall is 43 feet high; Greenville’s is 30 feet high.
