The Savannah Bananas are set to bring their unique brand of baseball to Kenan Stadium at the University of North Carolina. This event will be part of their 2026 Banana Ball World Tour. Mark your calendars for April 11 and 12, when they’ll face off against the Texas Tailgaters. It’s exciting as this will be the Bananas’ first time playing in this historic stadium, known for hosting various international events in the past few summers.
Rick Barakat, the Deputy Athletic Director, expressed his enthusiasm: “We’re thrilled to welcome the world-famous Savannah Bananas to Chapel Hill. Their innovation and energy will create an unforgettable experience for fans.”
