In a bold move that cements the Savannah Bananas’ commitment to growth and fan experience, team owner Jesse Cole has reportedly invested a massive \$12.9 million into renovating the team’s iconic stadium. Known as the most entertaining team in baseball, the Bananas have taken Banana Ball from a quirky idea to a worldwide sensation, and now the stage is being set for an even bigger future.
The renovation project aims to completely transform the stadium into a state-of-the-art entertainment hub while preserving the intimate, fun-loving atmosphere that makes Bananas games so special. Plans include upgraded seating to enhance comfort, expanded fan zones, modernized locker rooms, cutting-edge sound and lighting systems, and new digital screens to bring fans closer to the action. A large portion of the budget is also being dedicated to creating interactive spaces—such as family play areas, VIP lounges, and fan engagement zones—ensuring that every visit to the stadium feels like more than just a baseball game.
The Bananas’ ownership sees this renovation as an investment not only in the team but also in the community of Savannah. By modernizing the stadium, the Bananas hope to attract larger crowds, host major events, and continue drawing national attention to the city. Already a viral phenomenon with millions of followers online, the Bananas are setting the standard for blending sport with entertainment, and this \$12.9 million upgrade will only amplify their brand.
Fans can expect the renovations to be completed in phases, with some new features debuting in time for the 2026 Banana Ball World Tour. For Cole, the vision is clear: to make the Bananas’ home stadium the “Disney World of baseball.” If history is any indicator, this ambitious investment will only add fuel to the team’s unstoppable momentum.
