SAVANNAH BANANAS 2024 WORLD TOUR COMING TO ALBUQUERQUE

The Savannah Bananas are bringing their “World Famous Baseball Circus” to RGCU Field at Isotopes Park on April 20-21, 2024.

Affectionately referred to as “The Greatest Show in Sports” by ESPN with an atmosphere that would “make most Major League Baseball teams jealous,” according to Sports Illustrated, the Bananas have reimagined the baseball experience and the game itself. After selling out every night of their 2023 Banana Ball World Tour, the Bananas will take the show farther than ever before in 2024, including their first-ever visit to Albuquerque.

“Taking the Bananas to Albuquerque has been something we’ve heard constantly from our fans over the years,” said Bananas’ owner Jesse Cole. “We are fired up to bring an unforgettable show to Isotopes Park next spring.”

Visit Albuquerque, the city’s official destination marketing organization, is helping bring the Bananas to Albuquerque for the team’s first appearance in New Mexico. “We are delighted to welcome this entertaining, family-friendly event to our community,” said Tania Armenta, President & CEO of Visit Albuquerque. “We anticipate that the game will draw people from the surrounding region who will travel to Albuquerque to enjoy the fun, fast-paced play that has made the team so popular. The Bananas bring smiles to spectators’ faces everywhere they stop.”

*About the Bananas
*In addition to the cast of characters, dancers, performers, mascots, and musicians, the Bananas are bringing their own twist of baseball to Albuquerque. Banana Ball is a fast-paced, action-packed style of baseball with rules that include no bunting, a two-hour time limit, fans catching foul balls for outs, batters stealing first base, and a one-on-one tiebreaker showdown at the end of the game if the score is tied. Fans can watch previous Banana Ball games on ESPN+ and the Bananas’ YouTube page.

The original Bananas’ 2022 World Tour was made into a five-part documentary, “Bananaland,” that can be seen on ESPN+. The show will return for season two, “Bananaland: The Road to Cooperstown” and will premiere exclusively on the Savannah Bananas YouTube Channel. The 2022 Tour was also covered by HBO Real Sports, the Today Show, FOX Sports, The New York Times, LA Times, CBS Sunday Morning, and more.

When the Savannah Bananas are not on the road, they play their home games in front of a sold out, 4,000-person crowd at Grayson Stadium in Savannah, Georgia. Bananas games at Grayson Stadium have been sold out for eight straight years.

The team has been known as TikTok’s favorite team with over 7.5 million followers, millions more than every MLB team. The Bananas have been featured across the globe for everything from playing a game in kilts, using a Dancing First Base Coach, the first-ever baseball player to wear stilts, players backflipping while catching fly balls, and a whole lot more. In 2023, former Major League stars like Jake Peavy, Hunter Pence, Johnny Damon, Josh Reddick and Barry Zito all joined the team at various stops during the tour.
