Banana Ball is Coming to Tampa Bay: A Wild Baseball Show You Can’t Miss

It’s official: the Savannah Bananas, the wild and wacky baseball team that has taken the country by storm, are making their way to Tampa Bay in 2027. The games, scheduled for May 7 and 8, will be held at The Trop (Tropicana Field), offering a unique blend of athleticism and entertainment that has made the Savannah Bananas a must-see event for baseball fans and thrill-seekers alike.

But this isn't just any baseball game. Expect players in stilts, catchers mid-backflip, and spontaneous choreographed dances. These aren't just performers; they're skilled athletes who have made their way through the minor leagues and beyond. The Banana Ball experience is a mix of creativity and competition that challenges traditional baseball norms.

While the games are sure to sell out, tickets are available through a lottery system. The lottery closes on October 31, so if you're interested, apply now to ensure you don't miss out. Remember, being selected for the lottery doesn't obligate you to buy tickets, but it’s a good idea to apply just in case.

If you're unable to make it to St. Pete, keep an eye on the midseason Banana Ball Open at Disney’s Wide World of Sports, where you can catch four games in a row-robin format. It's an exciting opportunity to see the Bananas in action, even if it is a bit of a drive.
