Chicago Snowballs, Rocket Squirrels bring sportstainment to League Stadium

Chicago Snowballs and Rocket Squirrels will turn Historic League Stadium into a two-night summer draw in Huntingburg, with the Saturday, July 25, 2026 game set for 6:30 p.m. and a second date on Sunday, July 26, 2026. The Dubois County Bombers are presenting the event with Visit Dubois County, and the pitch is clear: bring something unusual to the 2,783-seat ballpark and give families a reason to head to Huntingburg for an evening built around more than baseball.

The matchup is being sold as sportstainment, a format that mixes competitive play with music, comedy, audience interaction and other entertainment touches that should make the night feel more like a live show than a standard game. Visit Dubois County describes it as the first co-ed sportstainment franchise to come to League Stadium, and the Snowballs-Rocket Squirrels pairing is meant to be playful, visually distinct and family friendly. For a summer schedule crowded with options, that kind of novelty is the hook.

League Stadium gives the event a setting few ballparks can match. The stadium sits at 203 South Cherry Street in Huntingburg and dates to 1894, when the original field and grandstand were built. The site was renovated and expanded in 1991 for the filming of A League of Their Own, which starred Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O'Donnell and Madonna. Original advertisements from the film still remain along the outfield fence, and Visit Indiana notes the stadium also appeared in HBO’s Soul of the Game.

The ballpark is not just a movie backdrop. It is home to the Dubois County Bombers, a summer collegiate team, and it also hosts Southridge High School baseball. That dual role helps explain why this summer’s themed dates matter to Huntingburg and to the county tourism effort around it. Visit Dubois County says the Bombers will be on the road while the special June and July events take place, leaving the stadium available for attractions that can fill seats, draw outside visitors and add traffic to local businesses.

June already brought the inaugural Peaches vs. Belles Classic, and the Snowballs show extends that run of special programming into July. Taken together, the events show League Stadium being used as more than a nostalgic landmark. It is being positioned as an active destination, one that can keep Huntingburg in the regional conversation by pairing baseball history with a format built to sell a summer night out.
