Savannah Bananas game at Yankee Stadium rescheduled due to rain. Here's what to know.
The Savannah Bananas are gearing up for two sold-out games at Yankee Stadium this weekend, but Saturday's game has been moved to Friday at 7:30 p.m. due to rain in the forecast.
The Yankees and the Savannah Bananas announced tickets for Saturday's game may be used Friday. The second game is still scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday.
The exhibition team based in Savannah, Georgia, will face the Party Animals in their variation of baseball known as Banana Ball, "the "greatest show in sports," known for players breaking out into song and dance.
Many of the players have a large following on social media and have gone viral for their antics during the games. They even have a hitter and pitcher who stands on 10 feet tall on stilts.
They are part of the Fans First Entertainment group. The organization has six independent professional teams, including the Party Animals.
How to get tickets to the Savannah Bananas
Tickets are sold through a lottery. They start at $35 when purchased directly from the official site. But the lottery opened months ago, and the drawing was already completed.
Tickets can still be purchased through third-party websites such as Stubhub, Vivid Seats and Ticketmaster and are going for upwards of $99.
If you can't make it to the games, both will be available for streaming, according to the Savannah Banana's schedule. Friday's game will be available on YouTube, the ESPN App and Disney+. Sunday's will be available on YouTube and the Roku Sports Channel.
