The Savannah Bananas are an exhibition barnstorming baseball team based out of Savannah, Georgia. They began as a summer collegiate team but transitioned to exhibition games in 2022 after the growth of their “Banana Ball’ format. Much like the Harlem Globetrotters, the Bananas travel with partner teams the Party Animals, the Firefighters and the Texas Tailgaters.
The Savannah Bananas popularity has ballooned over the last two years, forcing them to start a lottery to even purchase tickets to the games. Only if selected in this lottery can you then purchase tickets to these games, a lottery that is now open with the release of their 2025 schedule.
As part of that schedule, the Savannah Bananas are making an appearance in Nashville, Tennesse and will play a game on May 10 at Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans.

The Titans obviously won’t need the stadium in May as it will be the offseason, so it’s prime time for other events to take over the venue. If you’ve never seen the Savannah Bananas, please look them up.
In fact, visit their website and watch some YouTube videos because these guys are every bit as talented as other professional athletes and they are incredibly entertaining. They are, quite literally, the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. Check them out, you won’t be sorry!
