Banana Ball, Zach Bryan coming to the new Nissan Stadium in 2027

🍌 Between the bananas: Banana Ball games might include over-the-top musical production numbers, ping pong in the outfield, a backflip catch, a batter on stilts or a twerking umpire.

Zoom out: The game joins a growing roster of big-ticket events already set for the new stadium.

• Country superstar Zach Bryan announced this week that he'll stop by during his next tour, with a Nissan Stadium show set for May 22, 2027.
• The stadium will also host four nights of CMA Fest concerts June 10–13.
• Kenny Chesney will play there July 3 with Eric Church and Sheryl Crow.

The big picture: Titans officials have said they expect to host several events before the football team hits the new field next fall.

What we're watching: Bryan is the earliest act on the new stadium's calendar so far, but he may not be the first to play the venue.

• Construction is scheduled to wrap up in February.
• Earlier this year, Titans president and CEO Burke Nihill said the first ticketed event at the stadium — which has not yet been confirmed — is on track to be a concert that will take place "sometime mid- to late-April."
