What can I say? A five star review from someone who follows zero sports teams? Maybe that's enough? Yes, sign up for the ticket lottery. Login if you are lucky enough to "win". But only after you have done your research as to which games and seats you would like to get tickets for. Then, if your timing was good, wait for your game day and enjoy the show. True, the Bananas play in large venues now. As much as I would try for tickets every year here I don't think you will ever find me watching somewhere else. The stadium is small enough where ride sharing is actually easy both getting there and being picked up after the game. The fact that the Bananas have a post-game "show" outside is a brilliant way to make it not a rush for everyone to leave at the same time. At least when I was there Lyft seemed to be a vastly better option than Uber for Savannah in general. So, if you generally only use one you might want to compare rides in real time before hitting the request button. Food is generally free. Not only free but when you say you want a hot dog you will probably be asked, "How many do you want?" What is for sale, like beer, Dippin' Dots, and some other food stuffs, is all reasonably priced too as is the merch. Are the Bananas the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball? Maybe, Banana Ball isn't baseball, but it's close. It is also entertaining enough for someone who is not into sports, like me. If you have kids, this will be the Disneyland of baseball to them as they get closer to the game than they ever would otherwise. read more

Historic Grayson Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

We had an amazing time this weekend at Grayson Stadium! It's a historic stadium with some really neat history and now the home of the Savannah Bananas. There are so many great details in this stadium, it's obvious that time went into every decision within. Some things to note: all tickets for Banana league games include unlimited food. This DOES start outside of the stadium during the pre-show. We weren't sure when the free food started so we ate beforehand and now we know. There is some free parking but it's limited so either Uber/Lyft or take your chances. If you get there early enough you shouldn't have an issue finding parking. Left Field Landing tickets include alcohol which does NOT start outside of the gates during the pre-show which was totally fine. We got there early to participate in the pre-game festivities. We opted for the Left Field Landing tickets for Party Animals v Clowns. We weren't sure how the drink rails would be but honestly, i'm so happy we chose that area. For an additional $5 we got all you can drink beer and seltzers. This included several local beers, including the official Savannah Bananas beer and your typical domestic brews + Nutrl seltzer. There was a dedicated bar just for the drink rails area and it was never busy. We did NOT have seats but we had drink rails that we could lean on and put our food/drinks on which was totally fine. Make sure to try and get a spot as far to the right as possible. If you are too far left you can't see the jumbo tron, thats the only drawback to this area. The time of our game was at 1pm and we were concerned about being in the direct sun but with the location of the drink rails, the entire section was fully shaded. People behind home plate and in the closer seating were in the direct sun. I'd take no seating with shade over a seat in the direct sun any day. Unlimited food included chicken sandwiches, hamburger/cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, popcorn, cookies, soda, water and popcorn. I was concerned that lines would be long and it would be difficult to actually get food/drinks but I never waited in any food or drink line for more than 1 minute. Aside from the included items there were some extras like Leopolds Ice Cream, cotton candy, trash can nachos, etc. I got some banana cotton candy to take home ($5) and a ice cream float ($8) with banana cream soda (omg it was so good!), vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. If you don't have the ticket type with drinks included, alcoholic bevvies were very reasonable, almost cheap! Beers were $6, which would normally be $15 or more at most other stadiums and cocktails were $11 which again would be probably double that at any other sporting event. Even though our section was in the outfield, we still were able to see the game and I personally did not feel "left out". The outfielders engaged with us and the party team came to our section many times. The game was engaging, entertaining and fun! We traveled from Orlando for this game and I wold absolutely travel again. The stadium is small so every seat is good and it feels intimate. The prices for food and drink are so inexpensive and the fact that food is included in the ticket price makes it worth it to travel. With our all inclusive tickets I fully expected to be let down or frustrated at some point. Usually when something is like this it's too good to be true so I expected some fine print stipulation or long lines but it never happened! The Fans First approach was truly apparent here and I'm so thankful that business models like this exist! We loved Savannah Bananas already but the more I learn, the more I admire the company! read more

Great experience. We had a lightning delay. This was like watching the Harlem globetrotters play baseball. Great staff. Everything fully engaged! We forgot we were at a baseball game a few times there was so much going on. My grandson had a great time! read more

Absolutely gorgeous old school baseball stadium. Came here for the Savannah Bananas Team Store and then checked out the field. Such a cool experience, nice to see how they keep it modern yet has those 'golden era' touches to a baseball field. The team store itself is small and may be limited to your size but it's cool it's open for fans to come by and purchase items, the staff was super friendly and chill. Overall great experience! read more

The stadium is nice, clean. The restrooms were probably the nicest baseball restrooms I've come across. You can take bags, food etc in but you do have to go through security. We were lucky earlier this year to finally get tickets for the Savannah Bananas after entering the lottery for the past two years. When buying tickets we only had the choice of Left Field Drink Rails and I believe Right Field Landing. The drink rails included unlimited alcohol for only $5 extra so we went with that with the understanding it's was standing room only. The day finally came around last week, we picked the August date for the game as it lined up with us going to MiLB games for the TX Rangers in the Carolinas as well - sweaty August wasn't exactly our first choice but the games lined up for it. I was worried about uncomfortable night games and possible rain delays. Everyone said to get to the Bananas game for the Plaza for opening at 4:30 - I was hesitant too though as we'd be in the heat of the day with no shade, we ended up getting there at 5pm. Gates open at 5:30pm. Free food was already being given out in the plaza but no free booze - staff didn't seem to know about the left field drink rails - people were getting wristbands but none for us. The plaza was packed but no restrooms available - so keep this in mind. The stage show didn't really interest us and not much else was going on. For adults I'd recommend arriving a little before gates open as the players all came out for a little pre show and confetti was set off - that part was pretty cool. But once the gates opened, everyone rushed in and you got pushed around. I know some of the seating is first come, first serve - but it was worst than I've experienced at Disney parks! We found the Left Field Drink Rails and this was went we finally got our wristband. Alcohol is limited to one per person not the usual 2 per MLB rule. They were out of the Banana Beer. I thought everything was free at the stadium but they had like nuts and candy for sale plus premium food items like the Trash Can Nachos. The free food wasn't bad. Like school cafeteria food. The burger was pretty good after a few beers! We ended getting stuck in a 3hr rain delay!!! The team did a really good job of keeping everyone entertained. For the whole delay they did not stop entertaining the crowd. They even said they weren't trying to draw out the night and then just cancel, they really wanted to play the game. Of course though after such a long delay and being a Thursday night a lot of people did end up leaving. It did end up working for us and we got to move round and actually sit behind homeplate and have a great view. TBH the view from the drink rails did suck, the screen was on the left to us. There was poles in the way. I'd read that the players would interact with the outfield but during the game I didn't notice anything. It's a shame with the way the tickets work now, with the lottery and then you only get the worst seats as the K Club get the bowl seats. If it wasn't for the rain delay we wouldn't have had the same actual game playing time experience. After the game the players all came out and you were able to get photos/autographs - it was all pretty quick and cleared out in about 20mins but I managed to meet my favourite player. All the players we spoke to were so thankful to the fans, even during the rain delay, players, umps were coming out into the sections and talking to fans. All in all, we had a great time. If we had stayed in the drink rail for the game don't know if I'd recommend it for out of towners who are making a special trip read more

What a great time. First time here and can't wait to be back. Staff is very helpful and there are no bad seats. The majority of the stadium is also covered so shade during the day and no rain if that happens either. Traffic also flows well in and out so also a big positive. Stop by and see the Bananas!! read more

Historic Grayson Stadium - Bananas - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

This Historic stadium is home to the Savanah Bananas. Our first visit to the stadium and it was wonderful. This is baseball with a twist as they play by Banana Ball rules. Pure entertainment from hours before til about an hour post game. The teams are great baseball players, but also dance, do tricks, sing, etc. Fun game, fun time for all ages! The stadium is clean and very well maintained. Banners around of the famous major league players who played there. Incredible history!!! Love the city! Love a great stadium! Love baseball! Hopefully I can get my hands on some tickets again soon as this was the most fun baseball I've been to in the US. read more

Grayson Stadium is the home of the Savannah Bananas baseball team, which broke away from the traditional minor leagues to become a touring entertainment team, like the Harlem Globetrotters in basketball, but with dance routines and more audience participation. The Bananas have their own rules to make the game more enjoyable and move along faster. They typically one of two teams, the Firefighters (whom they played on my visit) and the Party Animals. Their rules include a two-hour game limit, and the team the scores the most runs in an inning wins the inning and gets one point added to their score, so the final score is most innings won, as opposed to most runs scored. They also allow the batter to steal first base at any point during an at-bat, and the fans can participate in challenging a call. Both teams also perform a few dance routines between innings, which often involve crowd participation. They DO play baseball, too. It's just a little different than a traditional baseball game. Tickets start at $35 and include most concessions! Yes, most food, snacks, and soft drinks are included with your ticket. There are food lines on each side of the stadium with a very efficient process of grabbing a tray or paper bag and filling with hamburgers, cheeseburgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, chips, and drinks. You can buy beer, cocktails, or other food items at other concession windows, and if you bought a Stadium Club ticket, like I did, ALL food and drinks are included, even alcohol. Plus, the stadium club will have a buffet catered for you with foods not available in thr rest of the stadium, as well as a bar, so you have open bar. The stadium club seats also provide servers to bring you anything you want from anywhere in the stadium, including Leopold's ice cream, so tip them extra well. The games are always sold out, but you can find tickets on resale sites, like Stub Hub, but expect to pay a lot more for your ticket, mainly because of the outrageous fees charged by the ticket resale site, which is not affilaited with the team or stadium. That being said, I don't regret my last minute decision to attend a game. I consider it a great once-in-a-lifetime experience! read more

This is the home of the Savannah bananas . May me a peeling time for some and not for others . It's a concert and a baseball game at the same time . It's definitely loud . The prices for the tickets are 200$ for two people . The staff is your typical stadium staff . The team itself is definitely entertaining just isn't the strongest cause of the priced your paid . But it's definitely a good Banana split of an experience and a fun one too . Overall if your into a Tik tok experience/ baseball game this is definitely a great night out . If not then you do you . read more

Although the stadium has a rich history of hosting many a baseball legend in their earlier, minor league days, Grayson is currently best known for a show that is part sport, part dance routine, part WWE and comes with all-you-can-eat food. The Savannah Bananas, folks! The stadium is oozing old world charm and is nestled in a park with plenty of Spanish Moss covered trees, creating the quintessential Savannah backdrop. Although old, they do a good job of keeping it up while still maintaining that old feel (please don't ever fully renovate this place). Bananas games are worth the trip out here and include all-you-can-eat stadium food (hotdogs, burgers, popcorn, etc) with your ticket. Booze and a couple fancier things are extra but I do recommended both the banana daiquiri and the Slippery Banana. Great times, great place and eve better memories. read more

I wish they would invest some money into the upkeep like the scoreboards! Overall though Grayson stadium is amazing the Savannah bananas games are a blast and the price is amazing! It's a fairly inexpensive night for a family because food soda and water comes included in the ticket price! We have gone multiple times a year and truly can say we are banana for the bananas! read more

So this review is as much for the Savannah Bananas as it is the stadium. The stadium has plenty of parking that is 5 minute walk away. The stadium has plenty of bathrooms and both bleacher and chair style seats. That said you have to go there for a Savannah Bananas game. It is so much fun. My 2 year old loves as do my older kids. It is the most fun I've ever had at a baseball game read more

Grayson Stadium is a true Savannah treasure! I LOVE going to events there! They have an excellent assortment of concessions and adult beverages. My ONLY suggestion would be to have more spikes seltzer options at each alcohol place so you don't have to walk all over Timbuktu to get a drink. read more

Buy your tickets nine months in advance and get to the stadium at 5 pm for 7:30 pm game and you will be set. We get a five pack of games every year ( this year we added an additional five games) most of the seating is open. The doors open at 5:30 and the best seats fill up quickly. There is always some crazy and fun going on. They have the banana nanas that perform and have added the man nanas this year. The owner is running around during the whole game (you can't miss him he is wearing a yellow suit). He is holding unique contests, doing selfies with the fans and giving away stuff. The five game package we get comes with florescent wrist bands for all you can eat food. There aren't a lot of veggie options (popcorn and lays potato chips) but the meat eaters have hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken sandwiches. If you haven't ever had the experience you got to do it! read more

Historic Grayson Stadium is a great venue located on the East side of Savannah! It is adjacent to Daffin Park, and there is plenty of parking either in their lot or around the park area. Grayson Stadium is the home of the local baseball team, the Savannah Bananas! Savannah Bananas games are always a blast! Although the stadium is fairly small, it has covered seating, multiple concession stands, a sky bar area, and an uncovered seating area. A few vocal artists have also come to perform at Grayson Stadium recently, and the Savannah Bananas host other events here throughout the year. I wish Grayson Stadium would bring more artists here for concerts! The Savannah Bananas have been such a huge success here, and I think it would be a great place to bring in other acts. I will definitely continue coming here for events because I really enjoy this intimate but open venue! read more

The Savannah Bananas have replaced the Sand Gnats as Savannah's main sports attraction housed in Grayson Stadium. Compared to the old Sand Gnats games, the Bananas pull a much larger crowd! If you're General Admission, you'll need to come early to find seats for a group of 4 or more. The games have also gotten more expensive - we still think they are reasonably priced, but definitely a steep increase from the $1 games and $1 beers the Gnats used to boast. Admission is now $9 and beers are around $5, with $3-5 for hotdogs or hamburgers and other snacks. They do still offer craft beer, wine, and some mixed drinks which is nice! read more

Historic Grayson Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Living near the Durham Bulls and the Carolina Mudcats, I'm a little spoiled when it comes to minor league baseball. But, Historic Grayson Stadium holds up as a great place to take in a game. If you're a Savannah local, then it's a no-brainer to visit regularly (especially Thirsty Thursday's). If you're just in town for a few days. spend one of those nights at the ballpark - you will not regret it. I enjoyed sitting on Land Shark Landing, which is a party deck that you can access with your General Admission tickets. Make sure to get a Land Shark beer and watch as they fill it up. Pro tip: don't touch the bottom of the cup till you are done. Once you are done, poke your finger through and you get a nice magnet keepsake! The food is pretty average here. The star of the show is a "s'mores panini", which you can grab near the 1st base bleachers. It's a messy treat full of fluff, Hershey syrup, and graham crackers. Unfortunately, when I was getting mine, a soft drink spilled on me from above. Apparently fans keep their drinks on the ledge, so watch out! The park itself is older (built in 1926). It reminds me of McCormick Field in Asheville, NC (Home of the Tourists) and Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, NY. I have only been to two other single A parks, so it's hard for me to compare. But, I would rather spend a night at McCormick Field or and Fluor Field (Greenville, SC - home of the Greenville Drive). read more

Thirsty Thursdays!!!! Gotta watch a sand gnats game on Thursdays to enjoy half off all draft beers. It's a pretty nice stadium as well with decent concessions (burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, chili cheese dogs, etc). Beer selection is pretty standard with domestics and they have Sweetwater as well. We sat at the Skybar which was pretty swanky and we enjoyed it, although it got pretty crowded. Bathrooms are okay and there's none near the Skybar. read more

We had a great time at the game. It was one of their frequent promo nights, called Natty-night - two for one on Natural Light beer - the cheapest watery beer you can buy. Anyway, we were pleased as could be when the beer barista :-) said any beer on tap was 2 for 1. Nice! They had Yingling, Sam Adams Lager, Shock-top and a few others. Our seats where right behind home plate. Took my father-in-law who hadn't been to a game at this stadium for 50+ years. Great stadium for it's age. Seats are in need of a little TLC, some bent this way or that, so change and find another seat. Oh, and no cup holders. We had a good time. Great way to spend a few hours on a Savannah evening. read more

Amazing. Such a great baseball stadium--I wish we had more like it. We went to a Savannah Bananas game and had a blast. Our 7 year old son and 75 year old father in law all had so much fun. We got there early as yelpers suggested because it is general seating, and the evening was perfect. Veggie burgers and cocktails were delicious! read more

Ryan who works in main concessions might be the worst employee I have ever met. I work i. the tourist industry so in know about demanding clients. I want demanding I just needed veggie options... Ryan told me to "calm down" when I asked if this the veggies I ordered were veggie. This man needs to be fired he is rude, not helpful, and makes people feel like crap for having dietary restrictions. Ryan should not work here... This is a tub environment and he ruined my night read more

Grayson Stadium is the home of Savannah's own Single-A baseball club, the Savannah Sand Gnats. They have been associated with the New York Mets since 2007 as a farm team. The Gnats are always a blast to watch and the seats are all a fair deal. Grayson is an excellent destination for families or just a group of buds looking to catch a ballgame and a brew. Thirsty Thursdays are always popular, when the beer is on tap for a discount. Gnate the Gnat is their lovable mascot and you'll find him buzzing about the stands posing for pictures and just bugging everyone. Make sure you put on repellent to keep his biting little cousins at bay. Historic Grayson Stadium and the Savannah Sand Gnats are enjoyable gems of our city for locals and tourists alike. read more
