Savannah’s sports future took center stage during our April Buy Local lunch hosted at the iconic Coach’s Corner. Moderated by WSAV Sports Director Joey Lamar, the event brought together key figures from Savannah’s professional sports scene — including representatives from the Savannah Buccaneers, Ghost Pirates, the upcoming Upshot League (launching in 2026), and the Savannah Sports Council.
Panelists shared insights into the rapid growth of local sports, the impact of professional teams on the community, and exciting new opportunities for fans and local businesses alike. Lunch attendees had the opportunity to connect with industry leaders, hear about upcoming seasons, and be inspired by the city’s momentum as it transforms into a regional sports powerhouse.
With high energy, community pride, and forward-thinking conversations, the event marked a defining moment in Savannah’s journey toward becoming a true sports destination.
