Seeing the Savannah Bananas in person is not cheap. While most MLB games start at $5-$10 per game, prices rarely dip below $100 to see a game of good, old-fashioned Banana Ball. Therefore, any time we find tickets to a Bananas game that even remotely resemble a “deal,” we are quick to report on them. In this case, it is for the Saturday, May 23 Savannah Bananas vs. Texas Tailgaters game at Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium. At the time of publication, we found inventory in the General Admission green zone going for as low as $134 including fees on SeatGeek. For those without a calculator on hand, that is a cool $157 in savings. While still expensive, that is much cheaper than what tickets are going for for the Thursday, May 21 game at Knoxville’s Covenant Health Park, where they start at a whopping $291 including fees. No matter which one you attend, you will get your money’s worth. Past games this season have seen the Bananas enact the “Golden Batter” rule (which sent Dan Oberst to the plate twice in the ninth inning at Yankee Stadium, where he blasted a game-tying home run and won a tie-breaker showdown), set an attendance record and… perform with the cast of “Aladdin” on Broadway. Yes, really. That is the beauty of a Banana Ball game: you never know what you are going to get. “It’s a sporting event like you’ve never seen before… [that] all comes together in an imperfectly perfect symphony of entertainment that has the power to revolutionize how sports entertainment operates in a world in which fans’ attention is being pulled in several directions,” Utah’s KSL reported in an August 2024 profile of the sport. More than anything, fans come first. “We are literally delivering roses to little girls in the crowd,” Bananas second baseman Jackson Olson told KSL. “We’re dancing with fans. For an hour after the game, we’re signing autographs, having fun, and it’s just breaking down that barrier.” Need to be at Neyland (or Covenant Health Park)? We are here to help, Banana Nation. Our team has everything you need to know and more about seeing the Savannah Bananas and Texas Tailgaters in Knoxville below.

**About the Savannah Bananas**
After forming in 2016, the “exhibition barnstorming baseball team” made a name for themselves by embracing “exhibition” and “barnstorming” while halfway ditching “baseball.” The team now plays Banana Ball, which has quirky rules like fan-caught foul balls counting as outs, games not being allowed to exceed two hours in length, and batters stealing first base. Yet, still, that is barely scratching the surface of the innovative game’s showmanship. Simply put, we recommend following Savannah’s Instagram to see what hijinks the entertaining team is up to. Be warned, though: their clips are so fun you just might end up scrolling for hours.
**Texas Tailgaters**
The Bananas are not the only attraction at Banana Ball games. Their opponents, the Texas Tailgaters, also bring fun, skill, and loads of personality to the diamond. Ahead of a recent game in El Paso, Tailgaters pitcher Zachary Blankenship explained what his team had planned. “So we are going to be out front Texas A&M cooking and running a tailgate just like it would be on a football day, and it’ll be a little country, a little less Broadway than the Bananas, but it’ll still be done up very large.”
