Sara Bennett headed out for a fun-filled adventure with her family and friends to see the Savannah Bananas.

Making unique and special memories with her family and friends was Sara’s favorite part of the trip. 

 

The music, the talent of the players, and the energy of the stadium!!

I was blown away by the whole adventure!

Sara faced a few challenges along the way. The line for the family restroom was so long she ended up using the men’s room, which made her uncomfortable.

The heat was also intense, but she came prepared with fans and washcloths packed in bags of ice to help her stay cool. 

Thanks to Team Gleason, the trip was stress-free. The client experience team at the Savannah Bananas hooked them up with all-access passes.

They even met one of the team’s owners that Sara thinks is a delight. Sara could really see how hands-on the organization is and how they truly put their fans first. 

Accessibility was also a win. Although Sara couldn’t sit in her preferred section because of the stairs, the stadium staff went out of their way to help.

They took Sara and her crew down an elevator and onto the field through the back hallway, and made them feel like VIP. 

Sara’s advice for anyone planning a similar trip is to get there early, buy merch ahead of time, bring a voice amplifier to cut through the noise, and pack your own straws or cups to stay hydrated.

With a little planning and great support from Team Gleason and the Savannah Bananas staff, Sara’s trip was full of unforgettable moments.
