Didn’t get Savannah Bananas tickets? Here’s how to partake in the fun anyway

Denver is officially going bananas this weekend. 

The pop culture phenom Savannah Bananas play two sold-out games at Coors Field Saturday and Sunday. 

But even if fans didn’t get tickets to the games — which sold out in under two hours — there’s events close to the games to get yellow fever going.

The famed independent baseball team known for its bright yellow uniforms and viral clips brings its 2025 world tour to Denver for the first time this weekend.

The Bananas will play the Firefighters. The game on Saturday airs on ESPN2 at 7 p.m.

The Bananas are touring to 18 Major League Baseball stadiums and three football stadiums in 2025, with sellouts in each market.
