The Auburn Tigers are getting set to host a special event this October at Plainsman Park with the Savannah Bananas.
On Saturday, October 25 at the home of Auburn’s baseball program, the Banana Ball All-Stars will play in a fall exhibition game actually against the Tigers at 7:00 p.m. CST.
“We’re excited to bring Banana Ball to Plainsman Park, creating a great opportunity and experience for both our players and our fans,” head coach Butch Thompson said. “This is currently one of the hottest tickets in baseball, and it should be a great night on The Plains.”
The game will be free to watch on the Savannah Bananas YouTube page.
Ticket information was revealed in the release announcing the exhibition from Auburn, and all ticket sales are going to go through the Bananas directly while parking will go through the University.
“Tickets for the match-up will go on sale at a later date, with the Savannah Bananas exclusively managing all general admission and standard reserved ticket inventory – these tickets will not be available to the general public,” the release said. “Auburn Baseball will manage the sale of all parking as well as premium ticketing inventory within Plainsman Park. The right field Back Forty Terrace at Plainsman Park, presented by the Auburn University Bookstore, will be available for Auburn students, with more details to come.”
The Tigers are going to play two exhibitions this fall at Plainsman Park, with the second matchup yet to be announced at this point.
