The Savannah Bananas are taking their baseball hijinks to the gridiron in 2025.
Team owner Jesse Cole said his barnstorming squad, which has packed stadiums around the country with its rollicking, freewheeling version of the national pastime known as Banana Ball, will play at Clemson's 81,000-seat Memorial Stadium on April 26.
The Bananas also will host a pair of games at NFL facilities, Cole said. They will play at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, the 69,000-seat home of the Tennessee Titans, on May 10, followed by 75,000-seat Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, home of the Carolina Panthers, on June 7.
“These will be some of the biggest crowds in baseball history to see Banana Ball,” Cole told The Associated Press.
