SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Banana Ball is heading to the Alamodome, and fans who want a chance to see it in person have until Saturday to enter a ticket lottery.<\/p>\n
The Savannah Bananas will face the Texas Tailgaters in two games, Sept. 10 and 11. Tickets are limited and will be sold through a lottery. The deadline to enter is Oct. 31.<\/p>\n
For Savannah Bananas pitcher and dancer Kyle Luigs, the trip to Texas will be personal. Luigs, who is heading into his 10th season with the team, was born in Arlington and has family scattered across the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s really cool,\u201d Luigs said. \u201cI was born in Arlington, Texas. So, I actually have a lot of family out in the Texas area.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bananas\u2019 fast-paced, entertainment-focused style of baseball has grown quickly. The team now has six teams and is playing in major league ballparks and football stadiums. <\/p>\n
Standard tickets start at $35.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the steadiest principles that we\u2019ve had from the beginning is being fans first,\u201d Luigs said. \u201cMaking any of the games, wherever we\u2019re playing in the country, very affordable and friendly to bring the whole family out.\u201d<\/p>\n
