Grayson Stadium, stadium in Savannah, Georgia, United States
Grayson Stadium is a baseball stadium in Savannah, Georgia, built in 1926 and known as "Historic Grayson Stadium". Renovations in 2023-24 added 1,000 outfield seats for a total of 5,000 and gave the grandstand a modernized classic look ahead of its centennial in 2026. At home plate level, stadium-style bucket seats replaced the old bleachers, and a video wall is expected in the outfield in 2025.
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.
Grayson Stadium hosted the Boston Red Sox for spring training in 1932, and in 2020 the Savannah Bananas removed all advertisements from the ballpark, leaving the stands free of commercial signage. The 2023-24 renovation added 1,000 outfield seats ahead of the stadium's centennial in 2026.
