Grayson Stadium, stadium in Savannah, Georgia, United States
Grayson Stadium is a sports venue in Savannah built in 1926 with capacity for baseball games, featuring a mix of old bleachers and modern stadium seating arranged close to the field. The structure combines original brick and metal construction with modern upgrades including an outfield video wall, and offers seating in different zones with accessible entrances from the third-base side.
The stadium opened in 1926 as Municipal Stadium and was rebuilt in 1941 after hurricane damage, with William L. Grayson securing funds for repairs and later lending his name to the venue. A turning point came in 1953 when the first integrated game of the South Atlantic League took place here, marking a pivotal moment in regional baseball history.
The stadium bears the name of William L. Grayson, a war veteran who helped restore it after a hurricane, reflecting its deep importance to the local community. Today it is home to the Savannah Bananas, who bring energy and fun to the historic venue with their Banana Ball games and family-oriented events.
Visitors can arrive by car or rideshare with limited nearby parking, though off-site lots with shuttles are available and recommended during warm weather. The stadium operates cashless, so payment by card or phone is recommended, security screening at gates is required, and weapons, glass bottles, and outside alcohol are prohibited.
In 1932 the stadium hosted spring training for the Boston Red Sox, bringing fame to the town. Today it draws visitors with the unconventional Banana Ball games of the Savannah Bananas, whose unique rules and entertaining performances reimagine classic baseball.
