Savannah Bananas bring Banana Ball to Bank of America Stadium
The Queen City will host Banana Ball as the Savannah Bananas play the Party Animals in two games at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday and Sunday.
Their one-of-a-kind baseball experience is expected to bring over 150,000 fans to the stadium turned baseball field.

They have been likened to the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball with their fast-paced, entertainment centered games.
Banana Ball keeps fans and players on their toes through 11 unique rules. The most notorious rule, according to the team, is that if a fan catches a foul ball, it counts as an out.
Headed to a game this weekend? You can expect action-packed plays, fan-participation and lots of fun as the players engage in dance routines, comedic sketches, and other performances throughout the game.
Games start at 7 p.m. both nights, but the festivities last all weekend.
From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Bananas will hold early merchandise sales. A pre-game party and player appearances begin at 2 p.m., and a 'Before the Peel' show starts at 3 p.m.
