Additional spring matchup
In addition to the Disney tournament, the Savannah Bananas will travel to Tropicana Field in St. Peterson, Florida, for a two‑day showdown with the Loco Beach Coconuts on May 7 and May 8. Those tickets will also be distributed through the same lottery system, giving fans another chance to see their favorite teams in action.
Community impact
The event brings a boost to the local economy, drawing visitors to Orlando’s hotels, restaurants, and retail establishments.
