Banana Ball brings Texas Tailgaters, Firefighters to El Paso for dancing and trick plays

Banana Ball, the viral baseball sensation known for its high-energy sports entertainment, is coming to the Borderlands for weekend games in downtown El Paso.

A nationally recognized brand of baseball entertainment will take over Southwest University Park on Friday and Saturday when the Texas Tailgaters and Firefighters face off in a fun baseball spectacle for the entire family to enjoy.

The two-day event is expected to draw thousands of people, including visitors from the United States and Mexico.

“MountainStar Sports Group and the El Paso Chihuahuas are proud to bring an impressive and fun event like Banana Ball to the Borderplex arena for two full days of entertainment and excitement,” said Brad Taylor, Chihuahuas President and General Manager. “Teaming up with Banana Ball will bring thousands of people to El Paso and downtown for two sold-out games. This event will have a strong economic impact on our city while providing world-class entertainment to our citizens and many visitors.”

Tickets for both games sold out within hours of going on sale.

The Banana Ball experience is expected to include dancing players, trick plays and nonstop entertainment, as well as a pregame street party and an interactive game environment designed to attract both sports fans and families. Both the street party and the game are exclusive to ticketed guests.
