Over 150 cities from over 40 states have submitted their official interest in hosting Banana Ball games in 2026. This includes cities from every region of the country (and even multiple international cities). The two yet to be named Banana Ball teams have received official interest from over 50 cities.
Now, we need your help in deciding where we should go. What cities should we select for the 2026 Banana Ball World Tour?
Where Should We Take Banana Ball in 2026? Help Us Decide!
Since the very beginning, Banana Ball has never been just about baseball — it’s been about flipping the script on the traditional, reimagining the ballpark experience, and making every game feel like the most fun party in town. And the numbers don’t lie: over 150 cities from more than 40 states — plus international cities — have already raised their hands, waved their banana hats, and shouted, “Pick us!”
From bustling metropolises to small-town gems, the interest in hosting the 2026 Banana Ball World Tour has been overwhelming — and humbling. But now, the most important part of the decision-making process begins: hearing from you, the fans, about where we should bring the Banana Ball magic next.
Coast to Coast: Where the Banana Ball Fever Is Ripe
Let’s start with the basics. The 2026 Banana Ball World Tour needs a lineup that captures the soul of the game: fast, fun, community-driven, and absolutely bananas. We’re talking about cities that don’t just fill stadiums — they live and breathe the energy we bring. Here are a few that we think deserve serious consideration:
1. Portland, Oregon – West Coast Weird Meets Banana Ball Crazy
Portland is no stranger to quirky, high-energy events, and honestly, it feels tailor-made for Banana Ball. With a fan base that loves personality and entertainment, Portland would be a wild West Coast addition to the 2026 tour. Bonus: the views of Mount Hood make a pretty great backdrop for some trick plays and dance-offs.
2. Minneapolis, Minnesota – Frozen Tundra? Not in Summer.
Minnesota fans know how to show up, even when it’s 10 below. So imagine the kind of noise they’ll bring in the middle of summer when the Bananas roll into town. Minneapolis is a sleeper pick with a strong baseball history and the kind of warm-weather festival vibe we thrive on.
3. Austin, Texas – Keep Austin Weird, Keep Banana Ball Wild
You’ve got live music, food trucks, cowboy hats, and a city that runs on high-octane creativity. Austin would be a perfect home for some Banana Ball chaos. Imagine a walk-off dance battle backed by a live country-funk band under the Texas sunset? Yes, please.
4. Nashville, Tennessee – Country Music Capital, Meet Banana Ball Nation
Nashville isn’t just about guitars and honky-tonks. It’s a city filled with families, sports fans, and tourists looking for an unforgettable time. Add Banana Ball to the mix and you’ve got a night of grand slams and line dances that locals — and visitors — will never forget.
5. Boston, Massachusetts – Historic Baseball Town, Reinvented
This one might seem bold, but hear us out. Boston is a baseball city through and through — but Banana Ball offers something different. We’re not trying to out-tradition Fenway; we’re trying to bring the joy of the game to fans in a whole new way. And if there’s a crowd that can appreciate some good-natured heckling and wild antics, it’s Boston sports fans.
6. Honolulu, Hawaii – Aloha Meets All-Out Entertainment
It’s far — we know. But imagine the dream of bringing Banana Ball to paradise. Palm trees swaying, fans in flip-flops doing the splits, and a walk-off celebration featuring a conga line of pineapples? Sign us up. Hawaii deserves a chance to go bananas.
7. Charlotte, North Carolina – A Hometown Expansion?
With the Bananas calling Savannah home, we’ve already seen the South show up in a big way. Charlotte’s booming population, vibrant sports culture, and regional pride make it a logical contender — not just for a tour stop, but possibly as a home for one of the two new teams.
8. Columbus, Ohio – Midwest Madness Done Right
Columbus is the kind of place that lives and breathes its sports — and Banana Ball could easily become its next big obsession. With a massive college fanbase nearby, the crowd energy would be electric. This city’s passion and central location make it a strong strategic pick.
9. Salt Lake City, Utah – Elevation, Excitement, and Epic Scenery
It’s off the beaten path, but that’s never stopped us. Salt Lake City has one of the most active, family-friendly communities in the U.S. and a growing appetite for unique, live events. They might not expect Banana Ball — and that’s exactly why we should go.
10. Toronto, Canada – Eh? Yes, Please!
The love for baseball up north is real, and international fans have been asking for years when the Bananas are heading across the border. Toronto is a world-class city with a baseball-hungry fan base — and they’re more than ready to go banana-hockey-stick-wild.
More Than Just Cities — It’s About People
We’re not just looking for big stadiums or great weather — though those things help. We’re looking for cities with heart, communities that value connection, and fans who want to be part of something unforgettable. Banana Ball isn’t just baseball — it’s performance, party, and pure joy, all wrapped in a yellow jersey.
That’s why your input matters. Maybe you’re from a town that doesn’t usually get national tours. Maybe your city hasn’t had a pro baseball team in decades. That’s okay. In fact, that’s perfect. Banana Ball doesn’t follow tradition — we chase fun.
So… Where Should We Go?
With 2026 shaping up to be our biggest year yet — and two brand new Banana Ball teams joining the family — the time is now to make your voice heard. Whether it’s a bustling capital city, a small-town gem, or somewhere totally unexpected, let us know where Banana Ball should go next.
Drop your suggestions, tag us on social, write to your mayor, or start a petition. We’re listening.
Because at the end of the day, Banana Ball isn’t about where we want to go — it’s about where you want us to be.
Let’s dream big, get loud, and make 2026 the most unforgettable, most unpredictable, most bananas year of all time.
