    Savannah Bananas includes 3 days at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers on the 2025 World Tour

    The Savannah Bananas have toured throughout much of the United States for the past three years.

    Fort Myers will join that list.

    During the 2025 Banana Ball World Tour city draft, which aired Thursday night on the Bananas’ YouTube channel, the team selected Fort Myers for Feb. 14, 15 and 16. Games are played at JetBlue Park, the spring home training facility of the Boston Red Sox.

    Fort Myers was announced along with a handful of other major venues, including Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans, Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, and Memorial Stadium, home of Clemson’s football program.

    In other Florida stops, they will also play LoanDepot Park in Miami on March 1 and 2 and Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg on March 15 and 16.

    Who are the Savannah Bananas?

    The team was founded in 2016. Originally a part of the Coastal Plain League, the Bananas transitioned entirely to wild competition against their partner touring teams.

    After the 2022 summer league season, the Bananas announced that they would be abandoning their college amateur team and playing only “Banana Ball.”

    Since then, the Bananas have taken the game by storm, selling out numerous ballparks across the country.

    How did Savannah Bananas choose Fort Myers as a tour stop?

    The Bananas conducted a draft at their home field in Savannah, with Fort Myers selected with the third pick in the first round of the Banana Ball World Tour Draft. The first two picks took place in the West, starting in Mesa and Glendale, Arizona.

    The news was announced via a baby whose banana costume was opened with a T-shirt that read “Fort Myers, Florida.”

    How do I get tickets to Savannah Bananas?

    The ticket raffle list for the 2025 Tour will open after the draft on Thursday evening via a link to be announced. It will also be available on their website and social media pages. According to their website, tickets are $35.

    The list of lotteries ends on November 1, 2024.

    In addition, a random drawing will be held two months before certain events for another chance to purchase tickets.
