Eugene got a taste of baseball like never before when the Savannah Bananas brought their wildly entertaining touring show to Autzen Stadium, drawing a sold-out crowd for a series that made history at the iconic University of Oregon venue.
The Savannah Bananas — known for blending trick shots, acrobatics, and comedy with actual baseball — packed Autzen Stadium for the event, which the Daily Bruin described as a “sold-out spectacle.” Sports Illustrated noted that the group “made history” at Oregon Football’s home stadium, marking a memorable first for the beloved Eugene landmark.
Following the series, the Bananas took to social media to leave what Sports Illustrated called a “heartfelt message” for the Eugene community, reflecting the warm reception they received from local fans.
It was a feel-good moment for the city — a sold-out, all-ages celebration that turned Autzen Stadium into a stage for pure fun and community joy, and one that Eugene fans are unlikely to forget anytime soon.
