Autzen to Go Bananas
The hugely popular Savannah Bananas are bringing their “Banana Ball” tour to Autzen Stadium later this month. The Bananas and their rivals, the Party Animals, will play two games in Eugene on June 27th and 28th. The traveling show has drawn sellout crowds across the country with its mix of baseball, entertainment, and fan interaction, featuring unconventional rules and a fast-paced format. The stops in Eugene are part of a nationwide tour that’s turned the Bananas into one of the hottest tickets in sports entertainment this summer.
