Savannah Bananas coming to Chicago in summer 2025 – NBC Chicago

For the first time, the Savannah Bananas baseball team will bring its world-famous show to Chicago, the club announced Thursday.

The Bananas, who pioneered a style of baseball called “Banana Ball” and have sold out stadiums across the country, have never played in Chicago, but that will change August 15-16, 2025.

On these dates, the Bananas will take on the Firefighters at Guaranteed Rate Field, home of the Chicago White Sox.

The ballpark is one of 18 MLB stadiums the Bananas will visit in 2025, including Busch Stadium in St. Louis and Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, among others. The team will also play in three football stadiums, including the home of the Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans.

Chicago baseball fans can also see the Bananas at the Cubs’ spring training complex in Mesa on February 1-2, and Sox fans can see the team at Camelback Ranch in Glendale on February 6-8.

Fans wishing to purchase tickets must register for a ticket lottery through the team’s website.

The Bananas were previously a collegiate summer league team in Georgia until 2022, when they introduced their “Banana Ball” format, which uses a two-hour time limit and a series of fan-centric rules, including counting balls caught by fans as outs and a variety of others Features.

The team also has a number of spin-off teams including Party Animals, Firefighters, Tailgaters and Visitors.

The Bananas made their first foray into playing in MLB stadiums in 2024, selling out Fenway Park, Nationals Park and several other facilities.

A full list of tour dates can be found on the team’s website.
