Banana Ball is coming to The Blue.
The Texas Tailgaters and Party Animals will play on July 31 and August 1 on the blue turf inside Albertsons Stadium as part of the 2026 Banana Ball World Tour.
The historic announcement was made on ESPN2 Thursday evening during the Banana Ball City Selection Show. Banana Ball will consist of six teams traveling the country with standings being kept ahead of a postseason tournament.
It’s the first ever appearance in the state of Idaho for Banana Ball, which has toured the country with the Savannah Bananas and three other teams in front of sellout crowds at MLB stadiums since 2023.
Banana Ball includes unique rules and non-stop entertainment.
Fans interested in tickets can add their name to a waiting list, which will open later Thursday night and run through October 31. A lottery will be held to determine which fans are eligible to purchase tickets.
Boise State has been working to add events inside Albertsons Stadium outside of football season to generate additional revenue. Another event, which a Boise State press release said would be a ‘high-octane, family-friendly event’ will be announced during a press conference on Friday morning.
