Overview
- The Savannah Bananas and the new Loco Beach Coconuts are scheduled to play at Gillette Stadium on Friday, Aug. 28, and Saturday, Aug. 29, marking the first baseball games the venue has hosted.
- Gillette has published gameday rules and timing: parking lots open at 1 p.m., gates at 4 p.m., and a clear-bag policy and list of prohibited items will be enforced.
- Coverage shows a persistent discrepancy in advertised start times, with some outlets and the stadium listing 6:30 p.m. and others listing 7 p.m., and that conflict remained unresolved in reporting.
- Players staged local promotions to drive attendance, holding a free meet-and-greet at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Dedham on Friday and planning a free appearance at Foxboro’s Commercial Street Dunkin’ from 9–11 a.m. on Saturday.
- Tickets remain available on resale sites at a wide range of prices, special-event MBTA/Keolis trains with $20 round-trip mTickets are offered, and broadcast windows list Friday on truTV/DIRECTV and Saturday on Disney+/the ESPN app.
