Exciting Times Ahead in Starkville: Banana Ball Coming to Dudy Noble Field!

Starkville is set to experience a wave of excitement in August 2025 as the Savannah Bananas, famed for their funky take on baseball, are scheduled to make a stop at Dudy Noble Field. This unique team, often compared to the Harlem Globetrotters for their entertaining style, will host two games against the Party Animals on August 22 and 23, 2025. Yes, you heard it right—get ready for a baseball experience like no other!

What is Banana Ball?

If you haven’t yet heard of Banana Ball, let me fill you in. This wacky version of baseball was created in 2018, but it officially made its debut in 2020. It’s all about fun, speed, and, of course, lighthearted competition! Imagine a game where traditional rules take a backseat and silly antics take the wheel. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Fast-paced play: Games are designed to be played in two hours or less, keeping things moving and lively.
  • Unique scoring: The scoring system differs from the traditional game, providing unexpected twists to each match.
  • Modified rules: If a fan catches a foul ball, it counts as an out for the batter! Talk about a community effort!
  • Walking and running: When a batter walks, it’s a race against the defense—every player has to touch the ball before the play ends!

This is just a glimpse of the exhilarating chaos that is Banana Ball—imagine the fun for fans of all ages!

Two Games, Two Days

The excitement doesn’t stop with Starkville. In 2025, the Savannah Bananas will feature four teams, introducing some new competition! Along with the Party Animals, two other teams—the Texas Tailgaters and The Firefighters—will be joining this season’s lineup, making for a total of 100 games across the nation.

In addition to Starkville, the Bananas and their teams are scheduled to play in several prestigious venues, including Major League Baseball stadiums and other college fields. For instance, they are also set to hit the fields at LSU’s Alex Box Stadium and Arkansas’ Baum-Walker Stadium in August. Moreover, they will take the party to massive football arenas like Clemson’s Death Valley and Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium. This is really a summer tour that promises no shortage of smiles!

How to Get Tickets

One of the quirkiest aspects of Banana Ball is that tickets are available through a ticket lottery. This means you can’t just waltz into the ticket office and buy your seats—that wouldn’t fit the Banana vibe! Instead, fans interested in attending the games must join the Ticket Lottery List by November 1, 2024.

To register, simply head over to ThePartyAnimals.com/Tickets and sign up. Random drawings for ticket purchasers will happen around two months before the event, and if your name gets drawn, you will be contacted with the chance to buy tickets. It’s like winning a mini-lottery—how exciting is that?

A Celebration of Baseball

The arrival of the Banana Ball in Starkville promises to be a light-hearted celebration of America’s favorite pastime, blending sports with theater and entertainment. Whether you’re a die-hard baseball aficionado or just seeking a fun night out with family and friends, the Savannah Bananas’ games are sure to deliver plenty of joy and laughter.

So, mark your calendars for August 22 and 23, 2025, because Starkville is going to be shaking up the baseball scene with some serious banana antics! Get ready for an experience like no other.
