The Savannah Bananas' traveling Banana Ball exhibition is scheduled to visit Athens, Georgia, with an event planned at the city's new College Square development. The announcement was reported by the Athens Banner-Herald on Thursday.
Banana Ball, the fast-paced, entertainment-focused baseball format popularized by the Savannah Bananas, features modified rules designed to accelerate gameplay and increase fan interaction. The team has toured nationally, drawing large crowds to minor league and spring training stadiums.
Details regarding the specific date, ticket availability, and player meet-and-greet opportunities for the Athens stop are expected to be released by event organizers. College Square, a mixed-use development near the University of Georgia campus, has been positioning itself as a community gathering venue since its opening.
