Charlotte Hosts Savannah Bananas Amid Exciting Sports Events

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – The Savannah Bananas have announced a second game in Charlotte as part of their 2025 World Tour. Due to overwhelming demand, the ‘Banana Ball’ games will take place at Bank of America Stadium on Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7.

Initially, the team reported that less than 1% of tickets were available ahead of the announcement of the second date. Fans can enter a lottery system for ticket access. Specific details regarding the conversion of Bank of America Stadium into a baseball venue will be disclosed as the event date approaches.

The stadium is one of only three football venues selected for this tour. ‘Banana Ball’ is described by the team as ‘the most entertaining game of baseball,’ featuring choreographed dances, unique uniforms, scoring celebrations, and performances by breakdancing coaches.

“We are thrilled the Savannah Bananas selected Charlotte as one of their locations this year!” said Danny Morrison, executive director of the Charlotte Sports Foundation. “We’re going to witness a once-in-a-lifetime show, and we can’t wait for the Bananas and their fans to experience the Queen City.” Tickets for the newly announced game will also be available via lottery to pre-registered fans.

In addition to the excitement surrounding the Bananas, Charlotte FC is gearing up for their home opener against Atlanta United on March 1, where newborns are being welcomed into the Charlotte FC fandom with special receiving blankets provided by Atrium Health. This initiative aims to build enthusiasm for the upcoming match day.

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets are facing challenges, having recently lost four consecutive games, contributing to a historically poor point differential over three games in NBA history. As they prepare to go up against the Dallas Mavericks, fans hope for a turnaround in their season.

Lastly, Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper received a disappointing ‘D-‘ grade in a player survey regarding ownership qualities and contributions to team culture. This rating placed him as one of the lowest-ranked owners in the NFL.
