The Savannah Bananas are coming back to Denver in August, though you can’t buy tickets just yet. You’ll have to join their lottery list, which is open through Oct. 31.
The Bananas play something called “Banana Ball,” which involves dancing, flipping and a modified version of baseball – think what the Harlem Globetrotters are to basketball.
The Bananas have gained so much popularity throughout the U.S. that they sold out venues like Coors Field over the summer.
Next year’s tour tickets will be sold through a lottery system. There will be a random drawing to determine who can buy up to five tickets. If you’re selected, the tickets will cost $35 through the team’s website, though resellers might ask for more.
The team will return to Coors Field on Friday, Aug. 14, and Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026.
You can sign up for the lottery at any point before it closes and according to their website, when you sign up doesn’t affect your chances of winning.
The Savannah Bananas were founded in 2016 and their popularity has immensely grown in the past decade.
This year, they’ll be playing the Indianapolis Clowns, a new addition to the Banana Ball Championship League. The team’s name is a nod to the former team in the Negro American Leauge.
Last year’s two-game stint was the Bananas’ first visit to Denver.
