Savannah Bananas Draw 102,000 to Kyle Field for Their Biggest Show Yet

The fan-first Banana Ball model is now filling major college football venues.

Overview

  • The entertainment-centric team filled Texas A&M’s Kyle Field with about 102,000 fans Saturday, setting the largest crowd in franchise history.
  • Kyle Field is the fourth-largest college football stadium by capacity, which helped the barnstorming show draw an outsized baseball crowd.
  • The college stadium tour now heads to Tennessee’s Neyland on May 23, then Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium on June 13, Oregon’s Autzen on June 27–28, and Iowa’s Kinnick on July 3–4, a run of venues that could push more record crowds.
  • Banana Ball trims games to about two hours and even counts a caught foul ball by a fan as an out, underscoring its focus on pace and participation.
  • Local reports said the Kyle Field stop capped a week of pop-up events and meet-and-greets in the area and included a surprise cameo from Dude Perfect’s Tyler Tony.
