K Club Member Exclusive Perks
We’re excited to offer K Club members attending the Amarillo games the chance to win some special Banana Ball experiences and items!
We will not have a dedicated K Club Area at this venue; we’re doing something a little different. We’re hosting a K Club Raffle for all three Amarillo shows.
Members who enter will have the chance to win exclusive Banana Ball experiences and items throughout the day. Think opportunities like on-field access, behind-the-scenes moments, and other fun surprises we’ve cooked up.
While we love hosting K Club spaces when possible, there will not be a K Club activation space in Amarillo due to space limitations at the venue. This means there will be no separate K Club area in the plaza or inside the ballpark.
If you are attending any of the Amarillo games, be sure to enter the raffle for a chance to win!

All types of lawn chairs are not allowed inside Hodgetown Stadium. Blankets and towels work best for sitting on the general admission outfield lawn and will not obstruct the view of those sitting near you. Seat cushions are also allowed at the ballpark.
Weather
“It’s raining where I am coming from – Is the game still on?” – the answer is YES! Keep in mind, the ballpark is in a big and beautiful area. While it may be raining where you are coming from, there is probably sunshine and butterflies in Bananaland.
Even if it’s wet – We always closely monitor the weather, and do everything humanly (and Bananaly) possible in order to play games as they are scheduled.
9 times out of 10, we’re playing ball once the weather clears. 10 times out of 10, we STILL put on a heck of a show!
Best thing you can do is plan to be at the ballpark ready to rock, as we anticipate everything to start on time! Should things change, we will communicate via email as well as post on our social media accounts!
