Super fun atmosphere! The game was great. The entertainment was so good, that I nearly forgot that there was a game happening. The staff are entertaining and friendly. Go see a game! You will not regret it!! read more

Savannah Bananas - Opening Ceremony - Amateur Sports Teams Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Good times at Angel Stadium on March 28, 2026! First time attending a Banana Ball League game with the Savannah Bananas playing the Indianapolis Clowns (deep history, look them up!) The Clowns did a lot of juggling. Was welcomed at the stadium gates by staff wearing banana costumes. Immediately went to the merch line although lengthy, they kept it moving well. Friendly staff! A small sized jersey not designated for male or female was $80 Very entertaining from the singing dancing, ball playing, baby races, music, and there a Mr. K that looked like Mr. T from the 80s. K for potassium. There was Princess Potassia. Owner Jesse Cole did some emceeing in his yellow tux. Derek Klena, the Broadway star from Wicked, Anastasia, and others is the new member of the Bananas. His singing was amazing! The two singers with the Indianapolis Clowns were fantastic! The Bananas are known to be like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. They sometimes do back flips right before a catch. There were appearances by Darth Vader accompanied by storm troopers. Jered Weaver, retired pitcher from the Anaheim Angels made an appearance and threw a pitch. In the middle of the game, we took a break and got hotdogs at the concession stand downstairs. From high up on the upper level, the view was not too bad with direct view of the big screen and I also had my binoculars. The hubby did not share my binoculars and said the view was fine. Fans First has a lottery system and we had been on a waitlist in 2025 and got our tickets in November. The Stadium was packed with 45,000 fans, most wearing yellow including the hubby and i. Before the game ended, there was an announcement for an after party at a designated part of the stadium which we skipped. Definitely fun and family friendly.. Will give it 4.5 stars and round to 4. read more

We made the pilgrimage to the Savannah bananas! What a cool place this was to visit. This team is a lot of fun to watch. They're not only excellent baseball players, but they can do the equivalent of Dude Perfect trick shots, baseball style! We enjoyed the fun atmosphere and the laid-back comfort of the ballpark. They have great souvenirs and it was a great trip. read more

SO and I were doing laundry at Spin City and, while we were waiting, we realized that the stadium where the Savannah Bananas play is right across the street. We had to go to the gift shop and get a memento. There were no games scheduled, but we saw some players parking their cars and going to practice. read more

Attended the game March 21, 2026 Sutter Health Stadium Sacramento California: Do you love hours & hours of shoulder-to-shoulder massive screaming crowds? Do you love constant frantic commotion? You're in like Flynn, go to a Bananas game. The pre-game show starts 90 minutes before the gates to the ballpark open. The entertainment volume is turned up to 11. It's like a circus from hell. The baseball game is a ridiculous demonstration of lowest common denominator crowd pandering drivel. But it's still defeaningly loud , maniac paced chaos with lots of physical comedy antics. I suffered too much overstimulation by the 6th inning and made a hasty exit. Didn't have to fight the after game traffic snarl. I was given the tickets. I did look at a couple of Bananas YouTube videos before the game. I should have known better than attend the event. My bad. read more

I need to gush about how much I love the Savannah Bananas. I've followed them on social media for several years, and have appreciated the content they post as entertaining and fun. However, I hadn't realized just how massive the Savannah Banana movement is until I attended my first game recently. What an amazing experience! From the moment I parked my car outside the T-Mobile stadium two hours before the gates opened, Bananamania was taking the city of Seattle by storm. Folks were flooding the streets all decked out in yellow; banana costumes, Savannah Banana jerseys, tutus and so many more creative outfits. A stage was erected in a park just outside the stadium, with music and entertainment, as well as scheduled periods of time for both teams to meet and greet fans. When the gates opened, the teams formed a processional from the park to the stadium. It was time for Banana Ball and the fans were screaming, high-fiving, dancing in the street and having the time of their lives! Traditional baseball has become such a bore, so I'm really excited to have a newfound interest in the sport. From the moment the game began, the league's "fans first" philosophy was made abundantly clear. Popular music played throughout the entire game, and every 5 to ten minutes there was some kind of performance that kept all 48,000 spectators enraptured by the lively antics. Through comedy sketches, choreographed dance routines, and tons of audience involvement, I never felt the need to check my watch - I was reveling in the showmanship and expertly-crafted entertainment. The Firefighters and the Savannah Banana's played that night, and even though the Bananas won, it really didn't matter. Everyone in attendance was there for the pure joy and excitement of Banana Ball, and to create lasting memories with friends and family. read more

This was in Montgomery Alabama at the Riverwalk Stadium. We really did not have a great experience from the beginning! I was chosen in the lottery to purchase tickets which I originally thought was going to be for the Savannah Bananas but it was for the firefighters vs clowns, so I purchased four tickets anyway . It did not give me any options other than just to purchase the tickets (no seat options or anything) which you cannot view until the day of the game. We live over an hour away so on the ride there, I found that our tickets were Berm tickets, not knowing what that meant I looked it up, and it meant our seats were on the grass, way on the other side of the outfield, we had my aunt and uncle who are both in their mid 70s with bad backs and knees. We get there for the pregame get in line at 2:30 in the blazing sun. The "gates" don't open until 3:30 ,everybody swarms in like sardines, the pre-game does not actually start until 4:30 so everybody's pretty much standing around and shopping their mercandise stands. The "gates" to get in the stadium opened a little after 5:30 so we stood in line in the hot sun for three hours. The pregame was not enjoyable and should be done on the field not on a parking lot. The Riverwalk stadium in Montgomery is nowhere near big enough for 7000 people in the concession area. It was a very hot, loud and an aggravating experience. When someone buys tickets they need to be well aware that BERM means the grassy area. A man told us in line they had a few picnic tables, so once we rushed in, we rushed straight to the area that would open at 5:30 and stood there until the gate opened ,so that we were able to get somewhere to sit. Luckily, we were able to get one with the sun blazing in our faces. Online tells you you can only bring certain chairs that are so many inches off the ground when we get there most everyone has a full-size bag chair. One hamburger was $13.50 which did not include anything at all with it, if you wanted grilled onions, jalapeños, etc., that was $1 each extra. Which takes about 45 minutes to an hour in line as well. If we had normal tickets and could get there right before the game started and not have to wait in line so many hours then it might be worth another chance but based off this experience no. They definitely need to let their fans know what seating they purchased or was available for purchase. There were a lot of people furious about the same thing being put on the grass when they arrived. Those seats require a blanket or a chair or standing the whole time unless you're lucky enough to get a metal picnic table. From where we set, you really could not see the game very well you've pretty much had to watch the TV monitors and didn't really know what was going on. I could've done that at home. read more

Banana ball! Banana ball! Banana ball! I hit the jackpot! I won the ticket lottery and landed seats to see the Savannah Bananas take on the Party Animals at Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium. It's almost unbelievable--a minor league team packing a 75,000-seat football stadium not once, but twice in a row with sold-out crowds! And the best part? Their commitment to affordable, fan-first pricing meant I paid just $40 for my ticket, while resellers were charging hundreds. From start to finish, this was an electrifying spectacle--long before the first pitch and even after the dramatic, walk-off home run. Sitting in row 7 of tier 5 beyond third base, I was completely engaged in the action. Their Fans First ticketing system was a breeze--seamless, stress-free, and exactly as promised! Clear communication, timely QR codes, and effortless entry made the experience all the more enjoyable. Before the gates even opened, the Bananas were putting on a show--autographs, a mini-concert, and a merch bonanza that made it impossible not to grab something. I walked away with a BB hat and fridge magnet to add to my growing collection. The game itself? An absolute blast! High-energy entertainment packed with fan interactions, mini-shows, and surprises at every turn--a wedding proposal, a pie to the face, and players climbing into the highest tiers to sign autographs. The massive stadium screens kept the excitement going with replays, hilarious mini-games, and close-ups of players dancing, swinging bats, and just being their outrageous selves. Singalongs like Coldplay's "Yellow" with the entire stadium lit up by cellphone lights created unforgettable moments. Local sports legends, including Carolina Panthers players, jumped in for the fun--one even carried a football while scoring a run! And the magic didn't stop after the final out--more autographs, more fan interactions, more memories that will last a lifetime. This wasn't just a baseball game--it was a SHOW. If you ever get the chance to experience a Savannah Bananas game when they're on tour, grab it! Trust me--you don't want to miss out. [Review 431 of 2025 - 816 in Georgia - 23993 overall] read more

This is absolutely hands down the most boring game I've ever been to. Talk about false advertisement! It was not entertaining. It was not the baseball version of the Harlem Globetrotters. It was subpar baseball players pausing every five minutes to call a toddler down to the field to do something cute. No offense to the kids. Kids are cute, but I didn't pay that much money to watch a children's talent show. This was miserable! I hated it! There are just not enough words to describe the intense hatred I feel about this. Absolute waste of money! Absolutely over hyped! Save your money and go to a minor league game! They're WAY BETTER! Boring!! read more

After winning the lottery just to get in and all of the hype we were expecting a wonderful experience. It was not. The ticket purchasing process is unpleasant at best. If you win the lottery you need to purchase seats immediately. You can pick the section but not your seat. You don't receive your seat assignment until the day before the event. As for the show, it probably was a great show for those down close to the field, a large stadium setting is not a good venue for this show. We were in the upper level and basically watched the game on the video boards. Will give them a second chance only if we can see them in a smaller setting. read more

Customer service is absolutely atrocious. I'm having trouble downloading my tickets and there is no one to help me. No one's answering the phone, though they have a peppy little voicemail, and there's absolutely zero information online. I'm now locked out of my fans first portal, which is owned by the Savannah Bananas, and I'm told to contact customer service, but there's no one working at customer service . A complete absolute total waste of time. read more

I went to one of the two games in Charlotte and it was not stop entertainment. Anyone who says otherwise is crazy. We had five tickets on the first base line up in the bleachers. These games had almost 75k people at them so if you were on the other side of the stadium you may not have seen as much action. From walking in the door having people dressed in banana costumes scanning tickets to leaving the stadium to find a stage with full band playing music, the entertainment was like nothing I've seen before. I love that they're playing a real game of baseball with no predetermined outcome and adding in all the fun antics at the same time. Whoever is in charge of the logistics during the game has their work cut out for them because there is always something going on.Plus, the added difficulty of putting all this together in a stadium that is not their own just adds to how impressive this event was. I would love to get an opportunity to go again. read more

I saw them at Nationals Park in DC and had an awesome time! We are all baseball fans and think of this sorta like the Harlem Globetrotters but baseball and even more fun than the Globetrotters. They play a legit baseball game but with lots of fun, crazy rules and you never know what will happen next. They need to work on their seating since lots of tickets "together" end up not being together and you don't know it when you buy. The games are usually sold out for a reason and I'd go again when they're in town! read more

My wife heard about the Savannah Bananas after the founder was at a professional business event in Las Vegas a few months back. When she found out they were in town to play a game against the firefighters, she bought tickets and we headed to the park for what turned out to be a fantastic evening of entertainment. The experience was incredibly fun, filled with music, dance routines, and comedy. The players were surprisingly skilled and athletic, adding to the enjoyment of the game. We had prime seats right behind home plate with plenty of shade, which was a lifesaver in the Vegas heat. On the downside, the concessions were grossly overpriced and the quality was average at best. Paying $12-$14 for two bottles of water felt like insanity. Despite this, we had a great time. It was like a date night for me and the Mrs., and we both agreed that it's definitely a great event to bring the kiddos and grandkiddos to for some quality family entertainment. read more

Wow! The Bananas call themselves the "Harlem Globetrotters of baseball," traveling the country and delivering a ballgame and a show, and their fame is only skyrocketing. Jesse Cole has managed to achieve the Herculean task of getting non-baseball fans to a game. The game itself is Banana Ball which is not rigged but instead an abbreviated version of baseball. The rules make for a quicker game and there is a time limit on top of that. In between innings, before the game starts, and even after the game ends, there is non-stop entertainment too. Can you imagine a three-year-old making a home run out on the field against the Bananas? How about a granny relay race around the bases. Maybe a soccer mom kid pickup and run around the bases? What about the golden banana first pitch that needed to be found blindfolded with hints from the audience at the start of the game? Plus, I'm sure it would be different at a game you attend in the future. The entertainment is constantly being evolved and sometimes even being tested right in front of you. There are so many things going on at a game it is hard to describe to someone that has never experienced it. Oh, and then there are the concessions. When you come to Bananaland, your experience is All-Inclusive. Their concessions in Savannah are All-You-Can-Eat hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, water, soda, popcorn and cookies. Yes, you can buy other things to eat and merch, but you don't need to. Want two, or three, or more of those free hot dogs? No problems! All in the Historic Grayson Stadium which is the first ever Ad-Free ballpark! Tickets? Well, good luck finding them at face value. Everything gets sold out. Stubhub and other places are options but obviously at much higher prices. Most seating is general admission and it you get there early for a game you will get a good seat so there is nothing to worry about on that front. read more

A rip-roarin time for kids and adults, baseball fans and baseball-ambivalent folks alike!! Pros: - Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Seriously, I was skeptical about getting there early, but they kept me entertained from the moment we stepped in the park. - Hilarious and fast-paced carousel of fun. - Tons of audience engagement (think acrobatics, songs, stunts, and free donuts!). Cons: Pretty much none that I can think of, and I'm not even a baseball person. We'll definitely catch them again next time they come to our neck of the woods (Phoenix). read more

The Savannah Bananas are a MUST see! They are the Harlem Globe Trotters of Baseball. They sing, they dance, the fans are involved in the action...it's incredible! I highly recommend getting the VIB experience (Very Important Banana). You get in early, get to meet and take pictures with the players. You can hang out on the field and find your seats first!

Surprised the hubster with tickets to the Savannah Bananas for Fathers Day! We had an amazing weekend in Savannah and enjoyed watching the game. You can't beat the entertainment throughout the game and firework show at the end. We loved The Banana Nanas, The DadBod Cheer Squad, and watching all the games that the fans played on the field during intermissions. I'm so glad we were able to go and enjoy such a great time with the family. read more

This show is Bananas! Best baseball game I've been too. Way more fun than the MLB. From the unlimited food to the song clips on every pitch to the antics between each inning ...this was more than a game! The crowd was going wacko banana cakes all game long. The entertainment was non stop and the trash can lid nachos were humongous. Thank you Bananas for a night we won't forget! read more

Where do I begin, this was the most fun I've ever had at a baseball game in my entire life. I've been to so many different MLB stadiums but Grayson Stadium takes the cake. The Savannah Bananas know entertainment! Pregame festivities were awesome and so fan friendly you will never be bored. The Savannah Bananas concept of baseball is not your regular concept, you can say unorthodox but they don't lack in anything short of amazing. From the first pitch to the last pitch it's NONE-STOP FUN. From the outstanding music from the DJ to the crazy fan base that cheers at absolutely everything going on in the game. Just in the game I went to they had a bat on fire, sparklers in the game of play, champagne bottles being popped, each team member heading into the stands to hand out roses to the ladies, the wave, karaoke from the owner while being in sync with the fans in the stands, their dancing 1st base coach (who I must say is a fantastic all genre dancer), to the Savannah Nanas (which are all women over 50 yrs. Old dancing to hip hop music. And that's just to get started. They have tons of specials at the stadium (like all you can eat section and all you can drink section) also if you're a fan of baseball like I am you know the older the stadium is the more majestic and magic it has. The stadium itself is old school with pictures of Legends that have played or visited the stadium such as Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron. My lady and I had so much fun, we will be coming back once the teams gets into league play. We went while they were doing their team tour of different states in the US. The Savannah Bananas are exciting, amazing, comical, and super entertaining of fans of all ages. You will not be disappointed if you attend. I promise you that this will be the best game you ever come to watch. If their was 10 's to vote I'd give them a 10 's read more

Watching on TV for the first time. What a hoot ! I haven't laugh this much in a long time. I don't usually watch boring baseball, they take forever to throw a pitch and are constantly touching themselves. Not these guys! Dont understand the rules yet but honestly who cares. Its just fun baseball. read more

I don't even know where to start. I wouldn't really call myself a baseball fan, but if given the opportunity i will take every chance to make a bananas game. Entry to the park was amazingly streamlined even with a sold out game, They had plenty of activities you could do before even entering the park. And once you get in food and non alcoholic drinks are included with you tickets. Why more places aren't using this business model is beyond me. During the game it is fast paced and high energy. The players are for ballers first, showmen second. One guy did a backflip while catching a ball that was hit to outfield. Great time for all ages and i really hope to come back soon. read more

Just saw the Bananas with my family in Charlotte. I mean where do I begin? The huge stadiums are NOT fans first! With the lottery you could have great seats and see the action or be in the nose bleeds all based on luck of the draw which is total nonsense. If you sit close I'm sure the "show" is great but in the upper deck is just a music dance party looking at the Jumbotron. And it's a show, not baseball by any stretch. They almost encourage everyone to get to the stadium 3-4 hours before the game but as hot is it was it turned miserable. Then it took us nearly an hour to get to our seats. Similar seats at Charlotte FC games take 10-15 minutes. One of our 2 kids got overheated in the second quarter, hated the whole experiment and wanted to go home with grandma who was with us. I 10/10 do NOT recommend. It was frankly boring and flat out disappointing for the hype that follows the Bananas. read more

I attended the June 7th Banana Ball game in Charlotte at the Carolina Panthers Football stadium. We had seats in the 543 section. It is so high up that you have to watch the jumbotron screen to see everything going on. Half the time the camera wasn't keeping up with where the ball was going on the field so it was hard to follow the action. All the silliness going on just didn't translate to a venue that large. We were all very disappointed with the experience and our whole party left at the end of the 5th inning. None of us said we'd want to go again. read more

This is an experience for sure! I got the pleasure of reading the owner of the team's book, Fans First, which tells the story of the team and what they are trying (and succeeding) to do. It makes you appreciate the game in such a different way. We arrived early and got to meet the owner himself, along with some key staff members. We got to run in at the beginning since it is open seating and sit along the first base line. This side has most of the action. They do all kids of interactive activities from the moment you walk in. You almost feel bad going to get some of the included food (every ticket includes all you can eat burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, chips, popcorn and soda. There are also food options you can pay for, including the trash can nachos where they take a trash can lid (clean of course) and make nachos on top. The game itself was entertaining. As someone who often gets bored at a traditional game, they keep it entertaining and moving. It is correct that there are no ads or jumbotron, so you really have to pay attention and everyone is looking at the same thing. After the game, all of the players and the owner hang out and sign every autograph and take every picture until the crowd is gone. That is a "Fans First" experience! read more

I just saw them at bank of America stadium in Charlotte last night and I left truly disappointed. The show was pretty boring tbh, just a bunch of hot guys dancing on the field. It was VERY gimmicky. There were no flaming bats, the guy on stilts didn't really do anything interesting, and the mascot was creepy af. It took us so much effort to get to this show (we live 12 miles outside downtown, but it took us an hour and 45 minutes to get to our seats). With that much effort to get there, I was really hoping for a good time, but did not really have one. The juice was definitely not worth the squeeze!!!!! read more

Buyer beware going forward with assigned seats in MLB stadiums as this cannot be an isolated incident. I have been a K-Club member since 2023 and paid the membership even when they did not come to town, and I did not buy tickets. Bought VIP premium tickets for Royals stadium in Kansas City MO. The organization promised that all ticket purchased together would be seated together. Seat assignments came out today and they placed our tickets multiple rows apart so that the family cannot sit together. To be fair the email stated the following "If you notice your party is seated across different sections or rows, it is likely that those seats are neighbors. For example - you may have 1 seats behind 3 others, or 2 seats right across an aisle from the others". If this statement were true, it would technically meet their promise and I could live with that, however my seats were 3 tickets in row H and 1 seat in Row K and the only way I could enjoy the event with my family would be via video chat. They could care less and were unwilling/unable to correct the situation or offer comparable tickets seated together at the premium price point and in the premium location that I purchased. There only solution was to offer me tickets in a non-premium location( no longer behind home plate) and in the back Row W almost as far away from the field as you can get in this section. Customer service was very friendly and pleasant, but they cannot cannot help you or resolve this issue. What they can do is forward your info to a team that is unavailable, that cannot speak to you and will have to get back to you. The one positive thing that I can take from this is that it seems like they are more than willing to provide a refund assuming you can get in contact with the team of people that can provide you with said refund. (TBD) It is ashamed that this is the direction this event is going with how awesome it was before they got greedy and expanded into a format where they cannot control the quality of the experience and deliver on promises made to the consumer at the time of purchase. Positive thing #2. Refund will be coming via snail mail since tickets were purchased long before they assigned seats. Better than being stuck with tickets you cannot sell or get rid of. read more

Was looking forward to the game but went away VERY disappointed. Parking was a nightmare, walking was NOT for the elderly, way too many hills and steps, campus is designed for the young, definitely not the old. We unfortunately had seats in the upper tier which after the 2 mile hike was exhausting plus no rails in the rows was dangerous, scary and VERY uncomfortable. We had to look at the BIG screens and missed a lot. They did a lot of t-shirt tossing but of course nothing got to the fans in that upper tier. Very disappointed and unless they play at a smaller venue will not be back. read more

Don't waste your money on the general seating unless you plan on arriving right when the gates open. We had general seating and everyone had saved seats and after circling the bleachers for 30 minutes we left.

I've gone 3 times in the last 12 months, 1st time I got food poisoning from the free hot dogs and hamburgers, second time was OK nobody I was directly associated with got sick, just went for my 3rd time and I had to leave the game early because I got sick threw up multiple times in the parking lot, and it's now two days later, and my girlfriend just tested positive for Norovirus (stomach flu) it's incredible the lack of health standards present at the Grayson Stadium since the bananas took over, never had this issue with the Sand Nats read more

Attended the Buffalo, NY game in Buffalo. Terrible experience from the start. No assigned seating- we are a multigener family- ages 70's to 2 years old. Seating was absolute mayhem and chaos.

The Savannah bananas I think it's one of the best baseball experiences you could have in your life if you want action you wanna venture you wanna see something that you've never seen before the band with the big yellow hat the older ladies that can sing and dance, The relief pitcher that comes out and the little RC car and leaves it on the mound while he pitches, Also when a player from the other team makes that he had everybody on the field has the touch it before they can call him out very interesting concepts a very good time if you ever wanna go you will definitely say this was a great experience read more
