Sixth Inning- What are the Stages Where Your Business Takes Place?

When you think of a baseball game, you might picture the crack of the bat or the roar of the crowd as a home run sails over the outfield fence. But for the Savannah Bananas, the game is just one part of the spectacle. Jesse Cole, the mastermind behind this innovative team, shares how they’ve turned their stadium into a 360-degree stage for fan engagement and entertainment, proving that a sports event can transcend traditional boundaries.

Welcome to the Show Before the Show Imagine arriving at a game and being welcomed not just by the ticket takers but by a high-energy pep band, playful characters, and even stilt walkers! This isn’t your typical entrance; it’s the first act of the Savannah Bananas’ fan experience. According to Jesse, the plaza outside the stadium is just the beginning of the “stage” where the performance begins.

Concourses as Theaters of Fun As you move to the concourse, the experience doesn’t dull; it amplifies. Here, grabbing a burger or a drink is part of the show. Jesse and his team ask, why serve food when you can perform it? Even the bathrooms play a part in the entertainment, featuring live music and humorously themed urinal cakes — who knew a bathroom break could be a highlight of your day?

Grandstand Grooves The excitement builds further as you enter the grandstand. This isn’t just a place to sit and watch the game; it’s an interactive playground. DJs and announcers step out of their booths to mingle with the crowd, while players might surprise you with a rose or invite you to join a conga line. It’s spontaneous, it’s fun, and it ensures that the energy never dips, even between innings.

A Field of Dreams and Dances On the field, the traditional baseball game is interwoven with dance-offs and player performances that keep everyone’s eyes glued to the action. Jesse’s philosophy is that the game itself is just one of many stages, and the players are as much entertainers as they are athletes.

Rethinking the Fan Experience What Jesse Cole emphasizes is a constant reevaluation of what constitutes a “stage” at your event or business. From the moment fans enter the stadium to the moment they leave, every interaction is an opportunity to make a lasting impression. His approach challenges us all to think outside the box — or stadium, in this case — to make every part of the customer experience memorable.
