Social Media Goes Bananas as Savannah Bananas Announce First-Ever Trip to Auburn_Dates and Opponents for 2025 All-Star Games Also Revealed
**AUBURN, AL –** In a move that’s sending shockwaves across the baseball and entertainment worlds, the Savannah Bananas have announced their first-ever visit to Auburn, Alabama, as part of their 2025 Banana Ball World Tour. The announcement, made via a surprise live stream featuring dancing players, baby goats in banana costumes, and an impromptu conga line on Toomer’s Corner, instantly went viral — and social media is officially *going bananas*.
The exhibition game in Auburn is scheduled for **Saturday, May 17, 2025**, and will be held at **Plainsman Park**, marking the first time the Bananas will bring their circus-like brand of baseball to The Loveliest Village on the Plains. Tickets, predictably, are expected to be hotter than a July tailgate in SEC country.
“It’s been a long time coming,” said Bananas owner Jesse Cole, dressed, as usual, in his signature yellow tuxedo and top hat. “Auburn has been on our radar for years. The fans, the traditions, the energy — it’s the perfect place for Banana Ball. Plus, we heard they know a thing or two about going a little wild.”
### AUBURN FANS GO NUTS (AND BANANAS)
Within minutes of the announcement, hashtags like **#BananasInAuburn**, **#GoBananas**, and **#BananaBallToomerTakeover** began trending across X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram. One viral TikTok, showing Auburn’s eagle mascot flying off with a stuffed banana, racked up 2.3 million views in under 6 hours.
“I never thought I’d see the day when Banana Ball came to my backyard,” said Auburn sophomore Lily McAdams, who camped outside the ticket box office with a sleeping bag and a banana-shaped pillow. “This is bigger than Bama week.”
Even Auburn head football coach, in a video posted to his Instagram story, joked, “Guess I’ll have to trade my headset for a banana suit that day.”
