Savannah Bananas add a third game to Pittsburgh's PNC Park 2027 series - USA Today
With the Banana Ball Championship League adding numerous games to the Savanah Bananas 2027 Banana Ball World Tour schedule, Pittsburgh will now see three days of the fun.
The Savannah Bananas and the Indianapolis Clowns are set to bring Banana Ball, a zany twist on traditional baseball, to Pittsburgh's PNC Park in August. After initially announcing two games in October, the league added a third game to the series.
On Nov. 1, the Savannah Bananas announced a third Pittsburgh game to their 2027 schedule.
The team is set to play at PNC Park in August, challenging the Indianapolis Clowns in a three-game series. The teams are scheduled to play on Friday, Aug. 6, Saturday, Aug. 7 and Sunday, Aug. 8. The Aug. 8 game is the new game added to the schedule.
The 2027 ticket lottery closed on Oct. 31, but fans can still join the ticket interest list in case tickets become available for any of the games at PNC Park. Joining the list will also sign you up for updates on tickets to the 2028 Banana Ball World Tour.
If you're interested in a reserving a suite or hospitality space for the game, you'll need to pay $1,000 to be placed on the waitlist.

Described as a "fast-paced, fans-first version of baseball" by the league, Banana Ball was created by the Savannah Bananas and features 11 unique rules designed to entertain fans, such as a two-hour time limit, no bunting and fan catches in the stands counting as outs.
The league has six teams: the Savannah Bananas, the Party Animals, the Firefighters, the Indianapolis Clowns, the Loco Beach Coconuts and the Texas Tailgaters.
