RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – A sport never before seen in Northern Nevada hits the Biggest Little City this week.
‘Banana Ball’ is on its way to Greater Nevada Field.
Never heard of it? It’s satirical baseball that has taken the United States by storm. Picture the Harlem Globetrotters but on the baseball diamond.
This year the Savannah Bananas have sold out every series on their schedule through July. That includes baseball and football stadiums even the full-time tenants haven’t been able to fill.
While the Bananas themselves won’t be coming to Greater Nevada Field two other teams playing this style of baseball will be in town: the Party Animals and the Texas Tailgaters.
Click here to view how the game is different than Reno Aces baseball in the 775 are accustomed to seeing.
Tickets are sold out so be sure to catch our coverage of ‘Banana Ball’ on air and online Thursday on KOLO 8 News Now.

Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Las Vegas this week could lead to travel issues around Southern Nevada.
Vance is scheduled to land in Las Vegas on Tuesday when he’ll be a guest speaker at a MAGA Inc. fundraiser at an undisclosed location, according to The Washington Post.
Vance will remain in Las Vegas until Wednesday where he’ll be a featured speaker at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference being held at The Venetian.
A temporary flight restriction for VIP movement in place over Southern Nevada between 10:45 a.m. Tuesday, and 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.
Despite the temporary flight restriction, flight impacts related to Vance’s visit at Harry Reid International Airport are not expected, according to airport spokesman Luke Nimmo.
Temporary traffic issues should be expected anywhere near Vance’s motorcade travels in the Las Vegas Valley this week, including near Reid Airport and The Venetian. Typical presidential and vice-presidential visits can see temporary shutdowns of portions of the Airport Connector Tunnel, the 215 Beltway, Interstate 15 and Las Vegas Boulevard, as the motorcade travels around Las Vegas.
Other surface roads near the airport and The Venetian such as Tropicana Avenue, Spring Mountain Road/Sands Avenue are also routinely affected during presidential visits.
The Metropolitan Police Department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on potential Vance motorcade road impacts.
