Sold out ‘Banana Ball’ comes to Reno this week
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.

Tickets are sold out so be sure to catch our coverage of ‘Banana Ball’ on air and online Thursday on KOLO 8 News Now.
