Dabo Swinney Steals the Spotlight at Sold-Out Savannah Bananas Game in Death Valley

The Savannah Bananas took over Clemson's Death Valley on Saturday night and delivered a show for the ages. With 81,000 fans packing Memorial Stadium — the largest crowd in team history — the Bananas brought their unique brand of baseball, entertainment, and pure chaos to one of college football's most iconic venues. The highlight of the night came when the Bananas decided to honor one of Clemson's most beloved traditions: the 'Most Exciting 25 Seconds in College Football.' Players and performers loaded onto buses, circling Death Valley as part of the full game-day experience.

When they reached the top of the hill, the team unloaded, lined up, and prepared for their entrance — cameras rolling — ready to charge down the hill in true Tiger fashion. But nobody saw what happened next coming. Out of nowhere, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney appeared at the top of the hill alongside the Bananas. As the cannon boomed, Swinney and the Bananas sprinted down the hill, with Dabo racing all the way to midfield, just like he does on game days. Along the way, he high-fived players and fired up the sold-out crowd, igniting an eruption of deafening cheers inside Memorial Stadium. It was a moment Clemson fans — and Banana Ball fans — won't soon forget. The Bananas faced off against their longtime rivals, the Party Animals, in a fast-paced, dance-filled game that featured everything from choreographed at-bats to a mid-inning conga line. It was a perfect marriage of Clemson's deep traditions and the Bananas' all-fun, no-rules brand of baseball. Even Clemson legend C.J. Spiller joined the show, jumping in on the dancing and celebrating with the Bananas.
