Savannah Bananas Clear Bag Policy

Let’s be real: reading the fine print of any event policy usually feels about as fun as watching paint dry. But the Savannah Bananas have a way of making even a simple bag rule feel like part of the show. It’s not just a rule—it’s a gift of speed so you can spend less time waiting and more time catching foul balls in a banana suit.

Why you need to know this

Picture this: you’ve just scored last-minute tickets. You grab your favorite totes, sprint to the gate… and then the security line grinds to a halt. Your awesome bag suddenly becomes the slowest member of the team.

The Bananas want you inside fast. Their clear bag policy is basically a cheat code to skip the gridlock. You bring a clear bag, they peek inside in two seconds, and you’re high-fiving a dancing banana before you can say “peel the pain away.”

It’s the same reason you bring a clear beach bag to a water park—no digging, no drama, just forward momentum. And at a Bananas game, momentum is everything.

The lowdown on the rules

Here’s the skinny: your bag can be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC, and it should be no bigger than 12” x 6” x 12”. That’s about the size of a happy robot lunchbox or that reusable grocery bag you keep in your car.

If you bring a regular purse or a cute tote made of fabric, you’ll be sent back to the car or the bag check line. Nobody wants to miss the first pitch because of a leather handbag—especially not when the first pitch might be thrown from the outfield bleachers while someone is doing a backflip.

You can also bring a small clutch (like a wristlet or a wallet) that’s roughly the size of your hand, even if it isn’t clear. Think of it as the designated driver of bags—it’s allowed in the club, but it better behave.

What to bring instead

Don’t panic. This is the perfect excuse to buy a fab clear tote that screams “I’m ready for fun.” You can toss in your phone, a portable charger (your battery will die from all the videos you’ll take), and maybe some earplugs if the “Dan Plan” gets too loud.

Pro tip: pack a small empty water bottle to fill up inside, because running on sugar and grit is real. And if you’re bringing kids, their diaper bags need to be clear, too—but the Bananas staff is super chill about medical and dietary items, so just ask at the gate.

The real payoff

Here’s why you should care: the Bananas play a game where the rules don’t exist, but the bag rules do—and they’re your best friend. You get through security in three minutes flat. You find your seat without tripping over a line of fanny packs.

And while other fans are still arguing with the gate attendant about their tote bag’s color, you’re already screaming for a rally frog and catching a banana from the mascot. That’s the dream, right?

So check your bag. Make it clear. And then get ready for the wildest, goofiest night of baseball you’ve ever seen. You’ll thank yourself when you’re high-fiving a dude in a bright yellow top hat during the seventh-inning banana toss.
