      Weather

      We never want to talk about the “4 letter word that starts with an R”, but sometimes it’s wise to. 

      “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!
