The Savannah Bananas have released their 2026 schedule, and they will play two games at the Caesars Superdome on March 14th and 15th. Jay Cicero, the president and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation is pumped that Banana Ball is coming to the Big Easy.
“This is just a delight, to have this type of entertaining baseball come to New Orleans. It’s really incredible,” Cicero said.
The Bananas game will be the first baseball game to be played in the Superdome since 2002, when LSU played Tulane. Cicero says since then, the Dome has been renovated a couple of times, and the stands can no longer move to configure into a traditional baseball field. He says they’ll leave it up to the Bananas’ creativity on the dimensions.
“What are the Savannah Bananas going to do with either a short left field or right field porch. How are they going to configure it? It should be part of the phenomenon that is the Savannah Bananas; how they configure this, the Caesars Superdome, into a baseball stadium,” Cicero said.
Tickets to watch Banana Ball will be sold exclusively through the Bananas’ official lottery system. If you are chosen, tickets start at $40 while meet-and-greet tickets begin at $125. Cicero says buying tickets to watch the Bananas isn’t like your normal sports teams.
“Those prices are all inclusive, with no other fees or taxes involved with it. So it’s bananaball.com/ticket.
Registration for the lottery closes on October 31.
