And so it's so amazing to know that we are still able to honor this history without disrespecting it and still having a fun way.
And so I think the Indianapolis Clowns, I can't think of a more perfect place for the Indianapolis Clowns to end up than Banana Ball because we get to honor their history while still doing the same things that they did in such a fun environment.
And so I'm just so excited to be able to, once again, carry on this legacy and, you know, do it in such a respectful manner where people can be educated about this.
Because I think my biggest thing is, you know, if we can always find one fan that knew about the Indianapolis Clowns now that they didn't know before then, then I think that's a win for me.
It is unbelievable.
And it's unbelievable in the fact that this wasn't something to look forward to growing up because you have a lot of people just, you see them being there like, okay, I want to go be that.
And so you have the motivation of going to go be that.
And us growing up, Banana Ball has only been around since 2021.
And so, you know, we, a couple of guys had seen it growing up in college and they're just like, oh yeah, that seems fun.
It's
something fun to do.
I don't think a lot of people knew that it would get to what it is today.
You know, other than Jesse Cole, of course, I feel like he had this vision the entire time, but it is, it's, it's unreal that the, that the amount of people show up to this and, you know, we put on three shows a weekend and,
And we have a sold-out show in every single place that we went.
So you have the Bananas that went to go play at Neyland Stadium in Tennessee, 101,000 people.
And, you know, we're in Tacoma, Washington, and the Coconuts are in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Each one is sold out throughout all the weekends, which is just insane.
But it's the way that we interact with fans and the way that we connect with fans in ways that you don't see in sports.
We're signing before the games.
We're signing during the games.
