What to know as Savannah Bananas visit Truist Park

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — The Savannah Bananas are following up last year’s successful visit to Truist Park with another pair of sold out games this weekend!

What is Banana Ball?

“Banana Ball” is a version of baseball with several rules changes to make the game more exciting, such as:

A two-hour time limit. No new innings can start more than 120 minutes after the start of the game.
The games are won by points. The team that scores more runs in an inning gets one point, except in the final inning where each run is one point.
If the home run scores enough runs to “win” an inning, that inning ends automatically.
Stepping outside the batter’s box is an automatic strike.
Bunting results in an ejection.
Batters can try to steal first.
Walks have been replaced by “four-ball sprints.” The catcher starts tossing the ball to each defensive player, and runners can advance as far as they can before all infielders and outfielders have touched the ball.

How to get to Truist Park

If you’re driving, it’s highly recommended that you pre-purchase a parking pass, because waiting until gameday could result in quite the walk!

Parking passes cost anywhere from $28 at the E41 lot to $75 at the Red Deck. Prices are a bit more expensive because it will be for the home opener.

The lots are priced at:

$28: E41
$34: E44
$35: E31, E43
$38: N25, 29
$45: S60, S61
$47: Silver Deck, B9, B11
$75: Red Deck

Where can I park at Truist Park and the Battery?

The Orange and Delta Decks are open to members of the Truist Club, Champion Suites and Delta SKY360° Chairman Club. All others are public lots.

B9, B11, E44, S60 and S61 are prepaid parking only. Spots in the Silver Deck, N25, N29, E31, E41 and E43 can be bought on-site with a credit card if spots are available. Cash is not accepted.

Accessible parking can be found in N29 or the Red Deck. There’s no need to specify accessible parking when buying a pass. Just show your accessible placard when arriving on the lot.

Lot 29 is served by a shuttle that picks up and drops off outside the Third Base Gate. The Red Deck is located in the Battery, close to the park.

Multiple electric charging stations are available in the Red, Orange, Green, Purple, Silver and Delta decks.

All lots open four hours prior to first pitch.

What is the weather forecast?

There’s a 30 percent chance of rain Saturday and a 20 percent chance Sunday, according to First Alert Weather.
