The Savannah Bananas and their brand of baseball, Banana Ball, have taken the world by storm in recent years. It's a fast-paced, entertainment-filled version of baseball that offers a unique twist on America's Pastime, and now it is coming to Rocky Top.
The Bananas will become the first team to host a baseball game inside the famed Neyland Stadium, according to the press release shared by Tennessee athletics. It will be part of a two-game stint the Bananas will spend in Knoxville.
"We worked hand in hand with the University of Tennessee Athletics, Covenant Health Park, and of course, the Savannah Bananas, to bring this event to Knoxville," said Kim Bumpas, President of Visit Knoxville.
