Did Neyland Stadium set Savannah Bananas attendance record? Here's what we know
Neyland Stadium was packed with fans wearing yellow rather than Tennessee orange for the Savannah Bananas game, challenging an attendance record.
The Savannah Bananas narrowly missed setting a Banana Ball attendance record at Neyland Stadium — or did they? The Bananas announced that a sold-out crowd of 101,000 packed the Tennessee Vols ' iconic football stadium for the Bananas' fun-filled game against the Texas Tailgaters. Many of the fans were clad in banana yellow rather than UT orange.
Of course, 101,000 is a round number that pops on social media. It's not an official head count. And it's undoubtedly an estimation based on Neyland Stadium's capacity of 101,915 for Vols football games.
The Savannah Bananas recognized an attendance of 102,000 for their May 2 game at Kyle Field in College Station, home to Texas A&M football. That stadium has a capacity of 102,733. During the 2025 football season, Tennessee averaged the sixth-highest attendance per home game in the nation at 101,915.
Texas A&M ranked third with an average of 106,159. The official attendance may never be known. But fans flocked to Neyland Stadium to see the wacky style of Banana Ball and the stunning sight of a baseball diamond with odd dimensions crammed inside Tennessee's iconic football stadium.
