==Team history==
Previously, this franchise was known as the Durham Bulls, but relocated following the 1997 season as a result of the expansion of the Triple-A International League into Durham, North Carolina, where the new franchise assumed the "Bulls" name. It spent the 1998 season in Danville, Virginia, as the Danville 97s, awaiting a move to Myrtle Beach while their new stadium, Coastal Federal Field, was under construction. When then Coastal Federal Field opened its gates on April 12, 1999, for the franchise's first game, 5,521 fans came to see the Pelicans play the Potomac Cannons.〔 In the first at bat, Pelicans pitcher Luis Rivera struck out Cannons hitter Esix Snead looking.〔 The first two hits at the stadium were home runs for each team, first by Potomac's Andy Bevins, and later that same game by Myrtle Beach's Ryan Lehr.〔
The Pelicans play their home games at TicketReturn.com Field at Pelicans Ballpark, a family friendly stadium with a Speed Pitch, Obstacle Course, and Moon Bounce on the concourse. In 2004, ''Baseball America'' rated it the second-best Class-A level ballpark in the United States, and the best in the Carolina League in 2009.〔 For four consecutive seasons (2011 to 2014), ''Stadium Journey'' ranked the Pelicans as the top stadium experience in the Carolina League, and one of the publication's "Top 50 Stadium Experiences" in all of sports,〔 while ''TripAdvisor'' named the team the third-best attraction in Myrtle Beach.
