The Savannah Bananas announced that their 2027 tour will include a two‑day stop at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. The “World Famous Baseball Circus” will take the field on Friday, Aug. 6, and Saturday, Aug. 7, facing off against the Indianapolis Clowns.
Ticket lottery opens now
Fans who want a chance to purchase tickets must join the Bananas’ ticket lottery list at bananaball.com. The lottery closes at midnight on Oct. 31. As the team explains, joining the list does not guarantee a ticket; a random drawing will determine who receives the opportunity to buy the limited seats.
Returning after a sold‑out 2025 debut
This will be the Bananas’ second visit to Pittsburgh’s North Shore, following a highly successful 2025 run that featured two sold‑out games against the Texas Tailgaters. Those earlier games were a homecoming for two local players: Aliquippa native Ryan Cox and Butler native Alex “Ziggy” Ziegler, both of whom helped draw a passionate crowd.
Family‑friendly entertainment
Banana Ball is known for its high‑energy, circus‑style atmosphere that blends baseball with music, dance, and fan interaction. The event is marketed as a family‑friendly experience, offering a break from traditional sports viewing and an opportunity for community members to enjoy a unique form of entertainment together.
What to expect on the field
The Savannah Bananas will showcase their trademark antics—such as on‑field dance numbers, fan‑participation games, and surprise performances—while the Indianapolis Clowns provide a competitive counterpart. The blend of sport and spectacle aims to attract both baseball enthusiasts and newcomers looking for a lively night out.
Local impact
Beyond the excitement of the games themselves, the Bananas’ return is expected to boost local businesses in the surrounding Strip District and downtown area. Restaurants, hotels, and retailers typically see increased traffic during the two‑day event, providing a modest economic lift for the city.
How to stay informed
Fans can follow updates on the Savannah Bananas’ official website and social media channels. The team will also post any additional details about parking, concessions, and health‑safety protocols as the event approaches.
With the lottery now open, Pittsburgh residents who enjoy a blend of sport, music, and community spirit have a chance to be part of what many are calling the most entertaining baseball experience of the year.
