Postponed MLB Game at Iowa’s ‘Field of Dreams’ Rescheduled for August 12!

First of all, if you’ve never seen the movie Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner, put it on your list asap!

“MLB at Field of Dreams presented by GEICO” was supposed to take place last year, but was postponed because of COVID. The game is now set for Thursday, August 12, and it will be nationally televised on FOX. The White Sox will take on the Yankees, for a regular-season game, at a newly constructed, 8,000-seat ballpark near the “Field of Dreams” movie site in Dyersville. They have not formally announced if fans may attend, because of the ongoing pandemic, but will do so in months leading up to the game. There is potential for up to 8,000 fans, if allowed.

See you next season, Iowa.

About the Field of Dreams

“The Lansing Family Farm, now known as the “Field of Dreams” Movie Site, has become a popular tourist attraction since the film, which tells the story of Ray Kinsella, an Iowa farmer played by Costner who hears a mysterious voice telling him to build a baseball diamond in his corn field. “If you build it, he will come” ranks 39th on the American Film Institute’s list of the Top 100 movie quotes of all time. Kinsella becomes convinced that by constructing the field, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, his late father’s idol, will have a chance to play again. Jackson was banned from baseball for his association with the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. The film was adapted from W. P. Kinsella’s 1982 novel, “Shoeless Joe.”
