They had the same mindset,\u201d says Cole in an interview with <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>.  \u201cSo we did a game last year, a show last year, and the viewership and the response was amazing. We heard as much from our fans as any partner that we\u2019ve come up with, and so after that, we were like, all right, how do we expand on this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI think they\u2019re defying traditional norms of what a sport can be, and when we\u2019re trying to build engaging user experiences, I think our partnership with the Savannah Bananas just provides and creates a lot of ripe opportunity for doing that this year,\u201d says Joe Franzetta, head of sports for Roku Media. \u201cWhat\u2019s unique about Roku, and our platform, and our ability to integrate content into a platform experience, and Roku City is a unique destination, and a really fun and exciting user experience that taking that next step with the Bananas just made all the sense in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRoku is recreating historic Grayson Stadium in Savannah, Georgia, the home of the Bananas, and users who click into the stadium in Roku City will see a special message from Bananas founder Jesse Cole, before being directed to the Banana Ball Zone for clips, highlights and game replays. While Roku City has long had ads on billboards in Roku City, and has occasionally added custom buildings or vehicles, the stadium adds an interactive element that is new to the screensaver.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve built Grayson Stadium into Roku City, and that\u2019ll be the entry point into an interactive experience, and that interactive experience will start with a greeting from Jesse, welcoming them to the Bananas in Roku City, and that there\u2019s a game on Saturday, be sure to tune in,\u201d Franzetta says. \u201cAnd then we drop people off into a destination that is dedicated to the Bananas, and there\u2019s all sorts of additional content there, so there\u2019s clips and highlights, there\u2019s replays of past games, there\u2019s interesting content that the Bananas seem to be able to uniquely create, and then we also are a pathway to other games of theirs, games that they have with other partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tCole has long sought to make Savannah Bananas and Banana ball games as widely available as possible, including making sure every game is available for free on YouTube. The Bananas also have TV deals with TNT Sports, The CW and Disney, which has exclusive rights to the Banana Ball playoffs (which will also be available for free on YouTube).<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2784\">U.K. Government Likely to Intervene in Paramount\u2019s Warner Bros. Discovery Takeover<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cIn the world of sports, you have to search to find out where the game is, and it\u2019s on numerous platforms, and usually it\u2019s behind a paywall,\u201d Cole laments. Our goal is to keep our shows free, and it\u2019s hard. I mean, we invest over $13 million on doing the broadcasts ourselves, and we do it all ourselves, and we share it on YouTube for free, and on Roku, and other opportunities for people to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRoku, of course, is the gateway to streaming, and while it has its own slate of Bananas games, it is also content to direct visitors to YouTube or Disney+ or other services where the games may be available.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAnd the July 4th hook, alongside America\u2019s 250th anniversary, was too good to ignore.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s nothing more Americana in my mind than the Savannah Bananas and what they\u2019ve built, and the fan experience that they\u2019ve built, and the family orientation, which I think is really important for July 4 as we celebrate the country\u2019s 250th anniversary,\u201d Franzetta says. \u201cWe\u2019re coming live from Iowa City, Iowa, we\u2019re smack in the middle of the country. I just think it really plays into our ability to elevate and highlight the nation\u2019s celebration of its 250th anniversary, and we just thought there\u2019s no better way for us to do that than to really focus in on on July 4 and the Savannah Bananas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cWhen you think about the Fourth of July, you think baseball, and now Banana Ball, so that was a no-brainer for us,\u201d adds Cole.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2782\">Meg Donnelly Signs With WME in All Areas (Exclusive)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roku City Savannah Bananas experience set for July 4 game with Grayson Stadium and interactive elements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2787,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[237,5],"class_list":["post-2788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-roku","tag-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
