Banana Ball players are briefly trading baseball bats for golf clubs this summer in Maine. Players with the wildly popular yet unconventional brand of baseball are coming to Portland, Maine, for two sold-out games and making a stop at Point Sebago Resort along the way.
The Texas Tailgaters play the Loco Beach Coconuts on Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25.
Both teams are part of the Banana Ball League. The league includes the renowned Savannah Bananas, who made a name for themselves entertaining sold-out crowds nationwide by combining baseball with trick plays, singing, dancing, and nonstop fan interaction.
It’s baseball with a twist.
Baseball players do backflips or sing between pitches. The idea is that every moment feels like a live show for the whole family.
Banana Baseball Teams Coming to Maine
Banana Ball teams tour the country with one goal – to make baseball fun. The Maine baseball game is coming to Delta Dental Park at Hadlock Field. But first, players are bringing their brand of sports magic to Point Sebago Resort Golf Course in Casco, Maine.
It’s an appropriate stop for Texas Tailgaters baseball players.
The Tailgaters celebrate big on the field, from home runs to honky-tonks. The team is known for line dancing and their own country music band.
Much like Banana Ball, Point Sebago Golf Course keeps golf fun. It’s known as a serious course for seriously fun people. And it’s got the accolades to back it up. The 18-hole championship course is one of the best public courses in Maine according to GolfPass.
The Texas baseball players can find fun beyond the fairways of the par-72 course and its 19th Hole Bar & Grill.
Players will also get to enjoy the family summer camp magic at Point Sebago Resort. The classic Sebago Lake camp features waterfront cabins, beachfront amenities, and 250+ weekly activities during the summer months to entertain guests of all ages.
Watch Point Sebago Resort’s social media starting July 24 for highlights with the Texas Tailgaters. The baseball players will be showing off a behind-the-scenes look at their Maine vacation before the exhibition games in Portland.
How to Watch Banana Ball’s Texas Tailgaters
Social media might be the only way to catch the Banana Ball action.
The 2026 Banana Ball tour is completely sold out from Wrigley Field in Chicago to Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho.
The Bananas announced tour dates for the 2026 season, including Maine, in October 2025. But getting tickets was more about luck than money. Tickets for Bananas games are distributed via a lottery system.
However, social media offers fans without tickets a look into the Banana Ball frenzy. The Texas Tailgaters and players have an impressive social media following. Instagram and YouTube videos show what life is like on the field and behind the scenes.
Banana Ball Returns to Maine
It’s not the first time Banana Ball has come to Maine. The Banana Ball World Tour brought the Savannah Bananas and the Party Animals to Hadlock Field in August 2023. The Savannah Bananas wowed fans with sing-along, a band, and even a flaming baseball bat.
The league has expanded since adding the Texas Tailgaters, the Loco Beach Coconuts, and the Indianapolis Clowns.
