  "account": "In 2027, cosmic baseball will make its return to Columbus, Ohio. The Cosmic Takeover Tour, which featured three games at Huntington Park during a sold-out 2026 tour, will once again bring its unique brand of entertainment to the city. Exact dates for the 2027 tour have not yet been announced, but a press release published on October 8 revealed that the event will resume its stop in Columbus.\n\nLast year, the tour played in Ohio from July 23-25, with games featuring a matchup between the Comic Chili Peppers and the Glow-Mojis. These games are played entirely under black light, with glowing uniforms, UV-reactive baseballs, and interactive fan engagement throughout play. The 2027 tour promises to include new in-game features, such as a 360-degree fireworks display, as announced by the release.\n\nThe Cosmic Chili Peppers, formerly a collegiate summer baseball team, transformed into an entertainment-branded baseball team in 2024. This makes them the first organized sporting event to be played entirely under black lights, according to MLB.com. Fans are encouraged to enter a ticket lottery to secure their seats, which can be done by visiting the provided link. To enter, fans must provide their name, phone number, email address, and the desired number of tickets for their chosen game location.\n\nTicket prices for last year's games were $35, and more information on dates and tickets will be released in due time.
