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. Advertisement 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. Advertisement Fans were awarded tickets through an interest form and lottery list.

Bank of America Stadium will transform into a baseball field for the Savannah Bananas
There's a baseball field inside Bank of America Stadium this week as Charlotte prepares to go bananas for the Savannah Bananas. Why it matters: It's the first time Charlotte will host the wacky baseball team, and it's the first time there's a baseball field inside Bank of America Stadium. State of play: The Savannah Bananas will play the Party Animals June 6-7 at Bank of America Stadium. If you're unfamiliar with banana ball, catch up here. Preparations for the Bananas began after the May 24 Charlotte FC match, Bonnie Almond, vice president of venue operations for Tepper Sports & Entertainment, tells Axios. How it works: Stadium staff cleared the soccer lines and mapped out the baseball field ahead of the Metallica concert last weekend. On Sunday, they pulled up the concert floor, and by Monday, crews were painting the lines for the baseball field. Netting to protect fans from baseballs went up on Monday, too. Both teams will bring in bullpens for pitchers to warm up and will use the stadium's field suites as dugouts. They'll play on a turf surface. Home plate will be located near the tunnel where the Panthers exit before home games, which is situated in the northwest corner. "We're very versatile in what we can do here," Almond said. Stunning stat: Bank of America Stadium sold out of approximately 74,000 tickets for each night in about five hours. The Bananas encourage people to be wary of scammers trying to sell fake tickets. If you go: There will be a festival on the stadium's plaza near the North gate off Graham Street at 4:30pm both days. The plaza itself opens to fans at 2pm. Games start at 7pm. You must have a ticket to access this area. Tickets will be screened before you get to the stadium. Merchandise locations open to the public will be available around the stadium from 11am-1pm both days. Dig in: There will also be special food and drinks at the stadium for the games. A banana pepper popper dog ($9.99) with cream cheese, roasted banana peppers, bacon bits and chipotle aioli will be available near section 120 at the Uptown Market. The Banana bourbon BBQ burger ($14.99) with a double beef patty, banana-bourbon BBQ sauce, crispy onions, cheddar and smoked bacon on a brioche bun will be available at the Queen City Eatery near section 122. The Elvis Spotted in Savannah sandwich ($17.99) with peanut butter, sliced banana, crispy bacon and a honey drizzle on griddled Texas toast will be available at the Culinary Corner on the 300-level. Savannah Banana Beer from Service Brewing and banana cream soda will also be available throughout the stadium. Local businesses are going bananas, too. Merchant and Trade, for instance, will serve a special cocktail called Banana Land ($18) June 6-7. Banana Land includes banana cream soda and Grey Goose Vodka. This isn't an official collaboration with the team, a Merchant and Trade spokesperson tells Axios, but rather a celebration of their stop in Charlotte.

Savannah Bananas celebrate the Tennessee Titans with Cam Ward's Nissan Stadium debut
Lost in all the hype surrounding the Tennessee Titans' rookie minicamp this weekend, the Savannah Bananas invaded Nissan Stadium and put on a show. While the Bananas fell to the Party Animals in this installment of the 2025 stadium tour, the sold-out crowd was treated to an entertainment extravaganza and a Titans' surprise. Titans legend Jevon Kearse was on hand to kick off the festivities with a flex off against the Party Animals' Jake Lialios. Lialios would eventually be named Showman of the Night after a stellar performance on the mound. Advertisement While that got the engines of the 70,000 screaming fans started, the Bananas invited the Titans' entire draft class to be introduced alongside the Bananas' starters, which sent the crowd into a frenzy. All nine of the Titans' draft picks made their way through the tunnel and were introduced at the stadium, but the excitement of watching Cam Ward step onto the field for the first time will likely be one of the best memories of the night.
