JUST IN: 5 Savannah Bananas Players Are Officially Leaving Grayson Stadium, As They Are No Longer In The Terms Future Plans

What *is* known about Savannah Bananas and Grayson Stadium

1. **Lease agreement with Savannah & Grayson Stadium status**
The Bananas have a lease with the City of Savannah for Grayson Stadium, which runs through September **2025**, with an option to extend for another five years. ([Connect Savannah][1])
The team has also invested significantly in renovations and upgrades to Grayson, including expanding seating, repairing old infrastructure, adding a sound system, turf upgrades, LED lighting, etc. ([Connect Savannah][1])

2. **Savannah Bananas’ future/public positioning**

* The Bananas have stated they are “as committed more than ever” to Savannah.
* Part of their “2025 Vision” involves improvements around and inside Grayson Stadium (e.g. clubhouse additions, updated amenities) as well as expanding their national touring footprint. ([thesavannahbananas.com][3])
* They continue to plan many home games at Grayson (in the 2025 season) even as they tour other cities. ([WJCL][2])

3. **Roster changes and uncertainty (but not official announcements)**

* There are fan discussions and speculation (on Reddit etc.) about players, coaches, and who might not return. But these are unverified and in many cases suggestions or rumors. ([Reddit][4])
* There doesn’t seem to be a mainstream source reporting that exactly *five* players have been officially designated as “no longer in future plans.” I found no press release or reliable sports news article that matches that wording

## What *could* support the claim — or what might have led to it

* **Roster turnover is normal**: As with many teams (especially those that tour or are entertainment‑oriented), turnover is expected. Players may move to other teams (Firefighters, Party Animals, etc.), retire, or simply not be re‑signed.
* **Speculation from fans**: As I noted, there is community chatter about certain players possibly not returning. But that’s not confirmation.
* **Contract and performance factors**: In entertainment‑sports organizations (especially non‑traditional ones like the Bananas), decisions might change rapidly based on performance, marketability, or showmanship as much as athletics.
What *contradicts* the claim (or at least casts doubt)

* No verification in reputable outlets (sports media, local Savannah/Savannah Bananas press) of the specific claim.
* The team has publicly affirmed ongoing commitment to Grayson Stadium and isn’t signaling a major shake‑up of the core at least in public statements.
* Major investments in the stadium and infrastructure suggest that the organization expects to continue usage of Grayson for forthcoming seasons. If many key players were being released or dropped, one might expect that to be part of public messaging or appear in roster announcements, but I found nothing.

-What you should do to verify

If you want to be sure whether this “5 players leaving” story is accurate, here are steps to take:

1. **Check official channels**

* Savannah Bananas’ website / “News” or “Roster” pages
* Official social media (Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook) — announcements about roster changes are often posted there first.

2. **Local media in Savannah**

* Newspapers or broadcast outlets (Savannah Morning News, Connect Savannah, WJCL, WTOC, etc.) — often cover roster moves for local teams.
* Press releases via the city or Bananas’ front office.

3. **Players themselves or secondary sources**

* Sometimes players announce on social media if they are moving on or have not been re‑signed.
* Interviews or Q\&A sessions (fan forums, live streams) might shed light.

4. **Compare what is public in rumour forums with what is official**

* Notice which names are being speculated about, then check if there is a confirmation or denial.

Tentative conclusion

Based on available information, the claim that “5 Savannah Bananas players are officially leaving Grayson Stadium, as they are no longer in the team’s future plans” is **not confirmed**. It could be a rumor, misinterpretation, or early speculation. There is nothing in credible reporting (as of now) that supports it in full. But given the nature of the team (which mixes entertainment, touring, roster changes), it’s plausible that some players may indeed be leaving.

If you want, I can try to compile a more up‑to‑date list of all confirmed roster changes for the Savannah Bananas (who’s in, who’s out) so you can see whether those “5” are documented. Do you want me to pull that together?
