Not your average day at the ballpark: Boom Ball is coming to Wichita

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Boom Ball, a new game that combines baseball, softball and live entertainment, is coming to Wichita this summer.

The sport debuted in March and is expanding its reach with a tour across the United States. It is making a stop at Equity Bank Park on Aug. 22. It will be a matchup between the Lucky Llamas and the Chaos Crew.

Some of the players were on college, minor league or professional teams. Others are performers, coming from reality TV or competition shows like “Big Brother” and “American Ninja Warrior.”

Each event is a two-hour, six-inning game. Teams are made up of men and women who put a twist on classic ball games.

Each inning has a different goal. For example, the Boom Ball website says the second inning is part obstacle course, the fourth inning highlights the pitching and the sixth inning is a home run derby.

Every game day also starts with “Boom Fest.” A chance for the crowd to meet players, listen to music and play games before heading into the stadium.
