KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Savannah Bananas, a self-described “World Famous Baseball Circus,” are returning to Kansas City, Kansas, next May.
The exhibition baseball team, known for its on- and off-field antics, announced its 2023 schedule Tuesday morning.
Tickets will go on sale at a later date after the announcements crashed the Savannah Bananas’ website, the team said via Twitter.
Tickets will go on sale at a later date! Our website is down right now (y'all literally broke the internet) so hang tight!

Next year’s schedule includes a stop May 5-6, 2023, at Legends Field to play the Kansas City Monarchs minor-league team.
The Monarchs confirmed the dates and said more information would be forthcoming.

The two-game series last May at Legends Field sold out more than three months before the games.
