The traveling Banana Ball show is coming back to Riders Field in Frisco, a short drive south of Prosper, for a second straight year.

The Frisco RoughRiders announced Friday, Oct. 16, that the Banana Ball World Tour will play two games at the ballpark on Sept. 3 and 4, 2027. The matchup will be the Loco Beach Coconuts against the Texas Tailgaters, two of the teams that travel with the Savannah Bananas on the tour.

How to get tickets

Tickets are not sold directly. Fans have to add their names to the Banana Ball ticket lottery list at bananaball.com/tickets before it closes on Saturday, Oct. 31, according to the RoughRiders. The team also posted an information page on its website.

What Banana Ball is

The tour plays its own version of baseball built around speed and showmanship. Under its rules, bunting is not allowed, games are capped at two hours, a fan who catches a foul ball records an out, batters may try to steal first base, and a game that ends tied goes to a one-on-one showdown, the RoughRiders said.

The players are known for stunts such as backflips while catching fly balls and a dancing first base coach.

The RoughRiders, the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, play home games at Riders Field. The team's 2027 regular season opens at home April 6 against the Corpus Christi Hooks, according to the schedule it released in August.
