Banana Nation, you’ve done it again. You’ve shown up *big time.*

Over 150 cities. Over 40 states. Every region of the country. Even *multiple international cities*.

That’s how many places have raised their hands and said: “Bring Banana Ball here!” And not just for one-night-only exhibition events — over 50 cities have thrown their hats in the ring to *host* one of the two next official Banana Ball teams. That’s right — entire cities want to become permanent homes to the sport that’s rewriting the rules and redefining how baseball is played, watched, and celebrated.

Now, it’s time for **you**, the fans, to help us figure out where this circus rolls next.

Because Banana Ball isn’t just a game. It’s a movement. And deciding where we go in 2026 is about more than just booking ballparks — it’s about bringing this high-energy, non-stop, never-normal experience to communities that are hungry for something different, something fun, something wildly entertaining.

## What Makes a Perfect Banana Ball City?

Before we dive into which cities could be future Banana Ball legends, let’s talk about what makes a city *Banana-worthy.*

We’re not just looking for a stadium. We’re looking for a **vibe**. A spirit. A *heartbeat* that aligns with everything Banana Ball is about — energy, creativity, inclusivity, and joy. The perfect Banana Ball city is one that doesn’t just want a show. It *becomes* the show.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

– **Fan Passion:** Cities with communities that show up LOUD and PROUD.

– **Great Venues:** Whether minor league stadiums or creative outdoor spaces, we need venues that can handle the spectacle.

– **Local Flavor:** Banana Ball loves to celebrate the weird and wonderful. The more local culture we can weave into the show, the better.

– **Support from the City:** We want to partner with cities that believe in this as much as we do — from the mayor to the fans in the bleachers.

– **Accessibility:** Great travel hubs so fans from everywhere can join in.

With those in mind, let’s dive into the kinds of cities that are ready to go *Bananas* in 2026.

## 1. **The Diehard Baseball Towns (Where Tradition Meets Disruption)**

These cities are no strangers to baseball. They’ve grown up on it, loved it, and lived it. But they’re ready for something new.

– **St. Louis, MO:** A city with deep baseball roots and an incredibly passionate fan base. What if we brought Banana Ball to Busch Stadium for a Midwestern mega-show?

– **Boston, MA:** You’ve got Fenway. You’ve got diehard fans. Now, imagine adding dancing umpires, banana-shaped bats, and walk-off celebrations to the mix.

– **Chicago, IL:** Whether it’s Wrigleyville or the South Side, Chicago brings unmatched sports energy — and it’s home to fans who know how to make noise.

These towns *respect* the game — but they’re ready to party with it, too.

## 2. **The Underdog Cities (Ready to Shine Bright)**

We love the cities that don’t always get the spotlight — but have *everything* it takes to steal the show.

– **Boise, ID:** Small town vibe, big time heart. We’ve seen massive support from Boise fans already. Could this be the hidden gem of the 2026 tour?

– **Wichita, KS:** Centrally located, with an up-and-coming sports scene. A perfect stop to make Banana Ball *the* event of the summer.

– **Tulsa, OK:** With an amazing downtown stadium and a creative, growing community, Tulsa is ready for the Banana spotlight.

Banana Ball belongs *everywhere* — especially in places where people don’t usually get the chance to see something this unique.

## 3. **The Coastal Legends (Sun, Sand, and Slams)**

If you’ve ever been to a Banana Ball game, you know we bring the heat. So naturally, some of our best fans are in the places that *live in the sun.*

– **San Diego, CA:** With beautiful weather and a thriving sports culture, San Diego is a no-brainer. Let’s turn Petco Park into a Banana playground.

– **Miami, FL:** The rhythm, the colors, the energy — Miami was *made* for Banana Ball. Just imagine the dance routines…

– **Charleston, SC:** A charming Southern city that’s already crazy about the Bananas. This could be one of our biggest home-field advantage spots on tour.

Plus, it doesn’t hurt when the beach is just a short walk away after the game.

## 4. **The College Towns (Where Energy Never Sleeps)**

We’ve played on college campuses, and the energy is *electric*. These are towns where hype is part of the DNA.

– **Austin, TX:** Music, sports, and creativity — Austin checks every Banana Ball box. This could be a *major* stop.

– **Knoxville, TN:** The Vols fans have already shown love — now it’s time to bring the full Banana crew to Rocky Top.

– **Ann Arbor, MI:** With an amazing student fan base and a love for sports innovation, Ann Arbor could become a hotbed for Banana Nation.

College towns bring the wild, the weird, and the unforgettable. That’s what Banana Ball lives for.

## 5. **The International Dreamers (Banana Ball Goes Global)**

We’ve heard from fans *outside* the U.S. too. A lot of them. And yes — we’re listening.

– **Toronto, Canada:** Already one of the most diverse and sports-obsessed cities in North America. The Bananas would be *huge* here.

– **London, UK:** MLB has gone to London… but has *Banana Ball*? The British fans would eat up the showmanship and speed.

– **Tokyo, Japan:** Baseball in Japan is already full of passion and flair — and Banana Ball would fit right in with its showstopping style.

We’re not saying we’ll need passports in 2026… but we’re not *not* saying that, either.

## 6. **The “Host a Team” Hopefuls**

Beyond the tour, we’re looking to expand the Banana Ball league. Two new teams. Two new home cities. And over 50 have already expressed interest in becoming permanent homes.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the *most exciting contenders*:

– **Indianapolis, IN:** A growing sports hub with fantastic infrastructure and a fanbase that knows how to rally behind a team.

– **Raleigh, NC:** North Carolina already bleeds Bananas. Making it a full-time home would be *banan-credible*.

– **Salt Lake City, UT:** A rising star on the national sports stage, with a passionate and family-friendly fan base.

– **Sacramento, CA:** Big enough to make noise, small enough to make it feel like family — Sacramento could be the ideal launchpad for the next Banana Ball dynasty.

We’re not picking just any city. We’re picking *the right cities* to help carry the torch, spread the joy, and keep this sport evolving.

## What We Want From You

Here’s the truth: We can’t do this without the fans. You’ve gotten us this far, and now we need your voice to help shape what’s next.

If you want Banana Ball to come to your city, here’s what you can do:

1. **Nominate Your City:** Go to [thesavannahbananas.com](https://www.thesavannahbananas.com) and submit your vote.

2. **Make Some Noise:** Start the hashtag. Tag your city leaders. Rally your community. Get creative and get LOUD.

3. **Show the Spirit:** Whether it’s a Banana Parade, a Flash Mob, or a citywide Banana Day — the more buzz, the better.

We’ve seen mayors wear yellow tuxedos. We’ve seen fans build entire Banana-themed campaigns. We’ve seen people *cry* tears of joy after catching a ticket.

This is more than a game. It’s a family. And we want to grow it — with YOU.

The 2026 World Tour: Bigger, Wilder, Bananas-er

If 2023 and 2024 were the warmups, and 2025 was the glow-up, then 2026 is the *explosion.*

We’re not just touring — we’re building a global movement. We’re not just playing ball — we’re making memories. And we’re not just adding cities — we’re choosing *homes* for the next chapters of this story.

Whether it’s the high deserts of Utah, the plains of Kansas, the streets of Tokyo, or the beaches of California — Banana Ball belongs to *everyone*. Every age. Every background. Every city.

So where should we go next?

Let us know. Because in 2026, we’re coming to play.
And we want you to be part of the show.
