I'm not a Banana Ball (or baseball) stats and analytics expert, but I do understand the basics (ERA, batting averages, etc). I see that, on paper, the Party Animals (my favorite team) aren't dominating in the individual stats when compared to last year, and obviously they aren't getting that high amount of wins as well.

My question is for anyone good at actually analyzing the game: what has been the issue? Why have the PAs dropped off so much this year when compared to last? Is there one primary factor, or a collection of several?

We can talk about other teams, too. I'd love to learn more about how to analyze this game!

This is my first year as a K-Club member and I did not know about the sidekick option. I bought tickets for a game in September for my family to attend, but I personally now have a conflict that I cannot miss. So my husband is going to take my kids. I started looking into how to fix this and found the sidekick information. The website says to contact support if you need to make a change. I did and got a routine email saying there was nothing they can do, which seems inconsistent with the note about contacting support. Has anyone had luck with making a change? It's not as though I am trying to add a new person - I never had one to begin with. This is so frustrating.

Hi everyone! My work has season tickets to the patriots at Gillette and got us tickets for the games in Foxboro. We were supposed to have tickets for Friday but turns out they accidentally got them for Saturday.

We can’t go now as we have a wedding. These are club seats and cost us $250 a piece and now I’m just trying to make my money back. The challenge here is we purchased the tickets through Gillette stadium so I can’t resell them on the bananas platform and the bananas restrict me from reselling the tickets on Ticketmaster.

Any advice!!?

I’m curious as to what will be going on in the two hours between gate opening time at 4:30 and show starting at 6:30? I just don’t know what to expect, will there be a pre show in that time or is it just folks milling around the stadium? Thanks for any input from experienced banana ballers!

First time I’m Banana Ball history! My family had a blast! We go to professional football, basketball and baseball games every year, but the Bananas were the best sports experience we’ve ever seen.

The rain delay Friday made for a once in a lifetime experience in my opinion! We were all trapped in a small space with what felt like a never ending stream of entertainment! Even if the game didn’t happen my kids had an amazing experience! Pretty sure we met everyone involved with the organization at least once (clowns crew included)! Every single interaction felt fun and casual! We spent like 5 hours together locked inside the stadium and not one second went without entertainment! My only critique is we had to leave early to catch the train!! Such a memorable experience on a day that would have absolutely been rained out in MLB

Me and multiple families are patiently waiting for the game to start even though it’s been pouring pockets for hours. Kids are getting antsy. If tbey don’t play soon, our kids will give up and want to go home.

I know there have been threads about this in the past but you would think at this point they wouldn’t have issues of tickets being purchased together not being in the same row. Yes I know to contact them to see if they can move us but just an added headache.

We have tickets for banana ball and are taking our 3 & 5 yos. The pre-game starts at 3:30 and the games supposed to end 8:30 which is a long time for my littles. For those who hace gone to a game with little ones would you recommend:

1. Arriving early at 3:30 to enjoy the pregame stuff and possibly leaving mid game
2. Skipping the pregame stuff and watching the whole game

Any other suggestions/advice?

This clip is mainly about Coach Rac’s insane catch this weekend. But Andy Cosgrove does get a shoutout as “Shirtless Guy.” Seems about right.

It does provoke some thoughtful (though kind of crude) conversation. Pat truly seems to love Bananaball and everything about it but also meets it where it is. He respects the skills of the players but understands entertainment is a large chunk of it. AJ seems amused by it but does not really seem to take it for more than a novelty. Ty tried to go into baseball purist mode but does acknowledge he has waffled on the sport’s legitimacy.

They do mention next years’s impending lockout and what that may look like for MLB players and Bananaball. Jesse keeps “plus-ing” the experience, so who knows. If the lockout goes for as long as predicted, there maybe some athletes who are more than guest batters/defensive pieces. And it makes ya wonder what team rosters will look like for 2027 (especially considering city selection and a draft would be before the December 1 cutoff date for a MLB/Players’ Association possible agreement).

So I heard that playoff tickets opened up to members of the Savannah lottery, have they gone on sale yet? And if so, any idea if everything is sold out or if there is a chance of getting as someone who was not a savannah lottery entry?

For background, we don’t live near Savannah. We went to two games last year (same ballpark for both nights), and it was so much fun! My daughter and I are obsessed and follow tons of players on social media now. We failed to enter the lottery for this year’s games, so we didn’t get to go.

I got the email inviting me to apply to the K Club. I’m not sure it’s worth it though and I’m struggling to understand the value. Without knowing if they’ll even play near me in 2027, what would be the point? Does K Club allow me to buy tickets to any game without having to enter the lottery?? We do travel a lot.

Has anyone ever tried to transfer/list tickets and get the “tickets being finalized” message? How long does that usually last?

My wife and I were going to go see the Bananas play at Gillette Stadium at the end of the month and had some things come up and now cannot go😔. We are just looking to get our money back for them but worried now it’s too late to list them. Has anyone had this before?

Also, if anyone going to the game that weekend would be willing to get us a merch item or 2 with the stadium on it and ship it to us we’d pay extra! I LOVE the Patriots and am super bummed not to be there.

Hey guys! Going to back to back games next weekend in Saint Louis and was wondering if anyone knows what sort of merchandise they typically sell and the price range! Thanks in advance
