The drive-in opened as the "Spa" Drive-in, but would change it's name to "Spar" Drive-in less than one week after opening.	Ad from The Saratogian for the Spa Summer Theatre, an outdoor ampitheatre located in Saratoga Springs Park. This caused a great amount of confustion amongst the locals, with the new drive-in and the outdoor performing arts theatre only a few miles apart, but using almost the same name!	Ad from The Saratogian for the Spa...excuse me, the SPAR Drive-in, on August 14, 1953. It would be known as the Spar Drive-in until 1956, when its name changed to the Greenfield Drive-in. I'm sure the confusion over the Spa Summer Theatre had something to do with it!
