Every 2026 home date the Savannah Bananas have on the books at Historic Grayson Stadium is already marked Sold Out on the team's own 2026 schedule page — and Grayson Stadium doesn't have a parking lot built to move that many people at once. On-site parking is "extremely limited," so most fans get sent to free off-site lots more than half a mile from the gate and bused in on a shuttle that doesn't start running until 4:15pm. Bring a group of 15 or 20 to that setup and you're splitting up before the anthem.
A private charter bus, minibus, or party bus skips that whole system. Your group gets dropped at the plaza entrance — the same curb the stadium already routes rideshare to — and the vehicle waits nearby until the last out and everyone's ready to leave. Below is exactly how that works: the address, the gate rules, the free-lot shuttle setup, and the roads that actually get a bus there, pulled from Grayson Stadium's own published information.
Why Rent a Bus to a Savannah Bananas Game at Grayson Stadium?
Getting a group to Historic Grayson Stadium (1401 E. Victory Drive, Savannah, GA 31404) is a different problem than getting a group to most minor-league parks. There's no big paid garage next door and no thousand-space lot ringing the outfield — Grayson Stadium sits inside Daffin Park, a public park laid out decades before anyone had to move a few thousand fans through it on a Friday night. A group renting private Savannah sporting event transportation for a Bananas game skips that on-site scramble entirely.
One bus keeps your whole party together from pickup to the plaza gate instead of scattering across whichever free lot has an open spot and whichever shuttle run they happen to catch. Nobody has to track down the return shuttle stop after a sold-out night game in the dark, and nobody has to be the one who stays sober to drive everyone home.

Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at Historic Grayson Stadium
Grayson Stadium's own game-day page recommends rideshare drop-off "next to the plaza entrance," and that's the same curb a charter bus or party bus uses to unload a group. Grayson Stadium's official game-day page lays out the drop point, the gate rules, and the parking picture in one place, and it's worth a look before your date since these details can shift season to season.
Gates open at 5:30pm Thursday through Saturday and 1:30pm on Sunday for 2026 season games, and every fan walking in — bus group or not — consents to metal detector screening at the gate. Build that into your arrival window. A party of 20 moves through one metal detector a lot slower than a couple walking in on their own.
If anyone in your group needs accessible seating, plan ahead. ADA parking is held on the third base side, and the stadium doesn't sugarcoat the rest: "ADA seating is extremely limited and available on a first come first served basis." The ADA entrance opens a few minutes before the main gates, and both the Left Field Landing and the Home Plate Grandstands are wheelchair accessible.
Free Off-Site Parking and the Grayson Stadium Shuttle Lots
Because there's no real lot at the stadium itself, fans who drive get routed to two free off-site lots instead: Savannah Arts Academy (500 Washington Ave) and Myers Middle School (2025 E. 52nd St), each roughly a mile from the ballpark. A shuttle connects both lots to the stadium starting at 4:15pm, and the team's own page doesn't hedge on the timeline: "Stadium lots are expected to fill up to 2 hours before showtime."
That system works fine for a couple in one car. It works badly for a group of 15 trying to board a shared shuttle together, then find each other again for the return run after a sold-out night game lets out. A private minibus or charter bus sidesteps the shuttle altogether — it drops your group at the plaza entrance directly and holds nearby until your party's ready, on your schedule instead of a shuttle's.
Grayson Stadium Bag Policy, Metal Detectors & What's Banned
Beyond the metal detectors at the gate, the stadium's published gate policies ban a short, specific list: weapons of any kind, including knives, glass containers, and outside alcohol. Chairs made the list too — the page states it plainly: "Outside chairs are not permitted in Grayson Stadium." Pack accordingly, because none of it comes back through the gate once security turns it away.
A bus solves the logistics around that rule better than a personal car parked in a free lot a mile off. Anything your group can't carry through the gate — coolers, extra layers for a game near the river at night, a stroller nobody wants to watch all evening — rides in the vehicle's storage instead of sitting unattended in a lot with no one keeping an eye on it.
Charter Bus vs. Rideshare vs. the Free Shuttle at Grayson Stadium
This is a bus-comparison site, so it's worth being honest about when a private vehicle actually makes sense here and when it doesn't.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrives together? | Drop point | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or minibus | One predictable total, divided across the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Plaza entrance, same as rideshare | 12–56 |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | Per car, each way | No — multiple cars, multiple ETAs | Plaza entrance | 1–4 per car |
| Free shuttle (Savannah Arts Academy / Myers Middle School) | Free, but you drive to the lot first | Only if you board the same run | Plaza entrance, via shuttle | 1–4 who parked together |
| Drive and hope for on-site space | Free, if space exists | No | On-site lot is "extremely limited" | 1–2 cars |
For two or three people, the free shuttle or a quick rideshare straight to the plaza entrance is the easier call — there's no need to book a private vehicle for that size. Past about a dozen people, though, the math flips: multiple cars mean multiple shuttle runs or multiple rideshare fares, plus a real chance someone gets separated after a sold-out night game lets out into the dark. That's the group size the rest of this page is aimed at.
What Size Charter Bus or Party Bus Fits Your Grayson Stadium Group?
Grayson Stadium is an intimate ballpark, seating a shade under 5,000, so most groups booking a bus here are family outings, birthday parties, or a dozen coworkers heading to a game together — not a stadium-scale fan convoy. Savannahminibuscompany.com connects you to a range of vehicles sized to match, through a large network of bus companies serving Savannah.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Savannah Sprinter van rental | Up to ~14 | Small family or friend groups | Privacy windows, USB charging, individual reading lights |
| 18-passenger minibus | ~18 | Birthday outings, small office groups | A/C, reclining seats |
| 25-passenger minibus | ~25 | Family reunions, youth or church groups | Overhead storage, reclining seats |
| 35-passenger minibus | ~35 | Larger group sales, company outings | Climate control, wide aisle seating |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Large birthday or league groups | Undercarriage storage, onboard restroom, WiFi |
| Savannah party bus rental | 15–50 | Groups celebrating before the game | Built-in bar, LED lighting, sound system |
The right pick comes down to two things: your headcount and how much you're carrying through that metal detector line. A minibus is plenty for a family reunion or a scout troop; a full-size charter bus makes more sense once a company outing or a group sale pushes past 30 people. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — just note it in your quote request ahead of your date.
Savannah Bananas Party Bus Rental Prices
Savannahminibuscompany.com shows quotes online in under a minute, and pricing moves with a handful of clear factors: vehicle size, how many hours you need it (including the wait through the game), the date, and how far your pickup point sits from Grayson Stadium.
To give you an idea: a 24-person group booking a 25-passenger minibus for a five-hour window — pickup two hours ahead of a 5:30pm gate, a drop at the plaza entrance, and a wait through the game before a post-game pickup — might run somewhere around $900 to $1,200, or roughly $40 to $50 a person. That number moves with the season and the date, so the fastest way to a real figure for your night is the Savannah bus rental prices page, the quick online form, or a call to 912-774-0420.
Getting to Grayson Stadium: Routes and Drive Times
| From… | Approx. distance | Typical drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Historic District / River Street | ~2.5 miles | 10–15 minutes |
| Pooler / I-95 hotel corridor | ~14 miles | 25–30 minutes |
| Tybee Island | ~18 miles | 30–35 minutes |
| Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) | ~12 miles | 20–25 minutes |
Grayson Stadium sits just off E. Victory Drive, the palm-median boulevard that runs from the Historic District out toward the beaches, with Bee Road forming the park's west edge and connecting north to DeRenne Avenue and the Truman Parkway (SR 204) bypass. That Truman Parkway connection is the piece worth knowing before your date: it's the quickest way around downtown congestion for a group arriving from I-95 or the airport, and it keeps a full-size bus off the narrow one-way squares in the Historic District entirely.
Savannah Airport to Grayson Stadium Bus Transportation
Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) sits about 12 miles northwest of Grayson Stadium, on the opposite side of the city from Daffin Park. If part of your group is flying in for the game, the airport keeps things simple for solo travelers: "Uber and Lyft pickup is conveniently located at the north entrance of baggage claim," per SAV's ground transportation page. That page lists no dedicated motorcoach zone, which is normal at an airport this size — arranging pickup ahead of time through the quote form is what gets a bus waiting at the curb instead of circling arrivals.
For a group flying in together, one bus at baggage claim beats splitting into rideshares that each have to find their own way across town. The Savannah airport transportation page covers a straight run from SAV to your hotel or directly to Grayson Stadium.
Leaving Grayson Stadium After a Sold-Out Game
Every seat at every 2026 home date is already spoken for, which means the walk out after the final out is a genuine crowd — a few thousand fans funneling through the plaza at once, most of them either walking to a free lot or waiting on a shuttle that only runs so often. That's the part of the night a bus earns its keep.
Your bus can hold nearby during the game and be right there when your group walks out, instead of joining the line for the Savannah Arts Academy or Myers Middle School shuttle. Set a pickup window before the first pitch, keep phones charged for the meet-up, and the ride home is already handled by the time the last inning wraps.
When to Book a Savannah Bananas Charter Bus Rental
The Bananas' 2026 home slate at Grayson Stadium runs three weekends: September 11–13 against the Party Animals, September 18–20 against the Texas Tailgaters, and a multi-team event on October 1, per the team's official 2026 schedule. Every one of those dates already shows Sold Out. The team's own ticket page doesn't undersell the demand, calling a Savannah seat "one of the hottest tickets on tour."
That scarcity cuts both ways for transportation planning. Sold-out crowds mean the free shuttle lots and the plaza entrance both run busier than a half-empty ballpark night would, and 2026 also marks the ballpark's 100th anniversary since it opened in 1926 — expect extra attention on those three weekends. Locking in a vehicle as soon as your group has tickets, rather than the week of the game, is what keeps you from working the phones at the last minute.

Frequently Asked Questions About Grayson Stadium Bus Rentals
Where does a charter bus drop off at Grayson Stadium?
At the plaza entrance, the same curb the stadium already routes rideshare drop-off to, per Grayson Stadium's official game-day page. That puts your group at the main gate rather than a mile-off free lot.
Is there parking at Grayson Stadium for a charter bus?
The stadium doesn't publish a dedicated bus lot, and on-site parking overall is "extremely limited." A bus doesn't need its own lot the way a car does — it drops your group curbside and can hold nearby or loop back, coordinated when you book instead of guessed at on game day.
How does the free Grayson Stadium shuttle work?
Fans who drive are sent to two free off-site lots, Savannah Arts Academy and Myers Middle School, both roughly a mile from the ballpark. A shuttle connects each lot to the stadium starting at 4:15pm, and stadium lots are expected to fill up to two hours before showtime.
What's the bag policy at Grayson Stadium?
Weapons of any kind, including knives, glass containers, and outside alcohol are banned, and outside chairs are not permitted. Every fan consents to metal detector screening at the gate. The published policy doesn't address outside food specifically.
How much does it cost to rent a bus to a Savannah Bananas game?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours, the date, and your pickup distance from Grayson Stadium. A 24-person group in a 25-passenger minibus for about five hours has run roughly $900 to $1,200 to give an idea, but the fastest way to a number for your date is the online form or a call to 912-774-0420.
What size bus fits our group?
A Sprinter van covers up to about 14 people, an 18- to 35-passenger minibus fits most family or office groups, and a full-size charter bus or party bus handles anything from 30 up to 56. See the vehicle table above for the full breakdown.
Are 2026 Savannah Bananas games at Grayson Stadium sold out?
Yes. Every home date on the team's 2026 schedule — September 11–13, September 18–20, and October 1 — is already listed Sold Out on the official schedule page.
What's the closest airport to Grayson Stadium?
Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV), about 12 miles northwest, on the opposite side of the city from Daffin Park. One bus can gather a group at baggage claim and run straight to the ballpark or your hotel.
Is Grayson Stadium wheelchair accessible?
ADA parking is held on the third base side, and the ADA entrance opens a few minutes ahead of the main gates. Both the Left Field Landing and the Home Plate Grandstands are wheelchair accessible, though ADA seating is limited and first come, first served.
What time do gates open for a Bananas game?
5:30pm Thursday through Saturday, and 1:30pm on Sunday, for 2026 season games. Build in extra time for the metal detector line if your group is 15 or more.
How far in advance should we book a charter bus for Grayson Stadium?
As soon as your group has tickets. With every 2026 home date already sold out and the ballpark marking its 100th anniversary this season, vehicles for those three weekends go fast.
Can we bring outside food or drinks into Grayson Stadium?
The published policy bans glass containers and outside alcohol, along with weapons and outside chairs, but doesn't otherwise address food. When in doubt, check with the stadium directly before you pack a cooler.
What roads get a bus to Grayson Stadium fastest?
E. Victory Drive runs right past the ballpark, and Bee Road connects north to DeRenne Avenue and the Truman Parkway (SR 204) bypass — the route that keeps a full-size bus clear of the Historic District's narrow one-way squares.
