Do this soon if you want to see Banana Ball in Denver next year
The increasingly popular alternative version of baseball will be back in Colorado in 2027, but you need to act soon to have a shot at tickets.
Banana Ball will return to Denver in 2027, but you must act quickly to secure tickets. The Savannah Bananas, the team responsible for popularizing the unique style of play, will not be joining the team lineup, but two other Banana Ball Championship League teams will be: the Loco Beach Coconuts and the Party Animals. These teams will take to Coors Field in Denver on May 29 and 30.
To buy tickets, Colorado Rockies full-season, MVP, and Hall of Fame Passport Mini-Plan season ticket holders have first dibs through a presale. If you're not covered by one of those season ticket packages, you'll need to participate in a lottery to win the right to purchase tickets. Registration for the lottery closes at 9:59 p.m. Mountain Time on October 31.
Ticket sales will commence roughly two months before the games. The premise behind Banana Ball is to create an exciting, interactive baseball experience that keeps fans captivated. The game follows 11 distinct rules that differentiate it from traditional Major League Baseball. Matches are limited to two hours, with fans having the opportunity to get an out by catching a ball in the stands.
Points determine the winner, with each team earning one point for every inning they score more runs than the opponent. Instead of walking, players must sprint if they receive four balls from the pitcher. In addition, fans have the chance to challenge an umpire's call, a move that requires them to throw confetti and hold up a sign.
