The University of Notre Dame says it will host the exhibition baseball team the Savannah Bananas as part of the Bananas' 2027 world tour, with a game scheduled at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday, 2027-06-26. Notre Dame characterized the June 26 game as the "first-ever baseball game inside Notre Dame Stadium" and quoted Mike Seamon, vice president for University Operations, Events and Safety, about welcoming the team.
