IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa, alongside the Iowa City Area Sports Commission, will host the Savannah Bananas at Kinnick Stadium on July 3-4, 2026. Both games will kick off at 7 p.m.

The Savannah Bananas are known for their unique take on baseball, called Banana Ball, featuring on-field antics such as choreographed dances, fun props, and constant crowd interaction. Tickets will be sold through the Savannah Bananas' platform, and fans must join a ticket lottery by October 31, 2025, for a chance to purchase.

Beth Goetz, the Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Director of Athletics Chair, emphasized Kinnick Stadium's legacy of hosting innovative events. "We believe the Savannah Bananas’ unique brand of baseball and entertainment will be a perfect addition to that legacy," Goetz said.
