The Savannah Bananas are coming back to Jacksonville.
The team released its 2024 World Tour schedule on Thursday night and Jacksonville is once again on the Bananas’ list of cities to visit. Savannah will play March 1-3 at 121 Financial Ballpark.1. Fans can join that list to secure a position for the lottery. A drawing will be held two months before the games, the Bananas said, and only those on the lottery list will be entered into a drawing for tickets. Joining the lottery list does not ensure a ticket..

The Bananas, who play a wild and theatrics-filled brand of Banana Ball on their tour, will play their traditional opponent, the Party Animals, during their tour.
The Bananas’ national profile has exploded over the past two seasons. They were even featured in a five-part documentary on ESPN+. And they had a waitlist of 80,000 for their traditional games in the Coastal Plain League. The Bananas played two variations of baseball until last year. The team played traditional baseball in the Coastal Plain League, but as it looked to barnstorm around the country on its tour.
