The Savannah Bananas are sharing with the public the enhanced health and safety measures in effect at Historic Grayson Stadium for this year. The Bananas have been diligently working on these plans with local officials based off the guidelines laid out by the CDC, FDA, and Georgia State Department of Public Health (DPH) due to COVID-19.

With collaboration and approval from the DPH, the full details of precautions are as follows:

 

Fans:

-All Fans entering Historic Grayson Stadium will have their temperature checked prior to entering. Fans who show a temperature of 100.4F or greater will be asked to rest for fifteen minutes and tested again. Any fan who maintains a temperature of 100.4F or greater will be asked to return home and to contact a medical provider or the DPH.
