Savannah Bananas Visionaries Jesse Cole and Emily Cole Announce Plans to Build the Biggest Stadium in Franchise History With a Groundbreaking $900 Million Investment, Promising to Redefine the Future of Banana Ball and Fan Entertainment
In a move that could reshape the landscape of sports and live entertainment, Savannah Bananas co-founders Jesse Cole and Emily Cole have officially unveiled plans to build the biggest stadium in their team’s history, backed by a jaw-dropping $900 million investment. The stadium, which is already being described as a “cathedral of fun,” will not only serve as the home base of the Bananas but also stand as a bold statement about the future of Banana Ball and fan-first experiences.
The Coles, who founded the Savannah Bananas in 2016, have spent the last decade transforming the way fans view baseball. From dance routines on the field to player walk-ups unlike anything seen in professional sports, the Bananas have grown from a regional curiosity into a global sensation. Now, with this stadium project, Jesse and Emily aim to cement the team’s place among the most innovative brands in the world.
According to the announcement, the new stadium will feature cutting-edge technology, immersive fan zones, and even interactive experiences that go far beyond traditional ballparks. Plans include seating for more than 50,000 fans, massive LED displays, fan-driven entertainment concourses, and dedicated spaces for concerts, festivals, and community events. In line with the Bananas’ mission, the stadium will also include affordable ticket options and family-first programming, ensuring accessibility for fans of all backgrounds.
“This isn’t just about building a stadium,” Jesse Cole said while wearing his signature yellow tuxedo at the press unveiling. “It’s about creating the most fan-centric sports and entertainment venue in the world. We want every person who steps inside to feel joy, excitement, and connection like never before.”
Emily Cole echoed the sentiment, highlighting the project’s community impact. “This will be a hub not just for Banana Ball, but for the entire region — a place for families, for music, for culture, and for memories that will last a lifetime.”
The $900 million figure reflects the Bananas’ skyrocketing growth and ambition, but also signals confidence in their global fan base. Industry analysts have already noted that such an investment could elevate the Bananas into a new league of influence, rivaling even major professional sports franchises in terms of facilities and fan engagement.
Groundbreaking is expected to begin next year, with completion targeted within five years. Fans worldwide are already buzzing with anticipation, eager to see how the Bananas will once again flip the script on what a ballpark — and baseball itself — can be.
