In the tiny farming town of Dyersville, Iowa, just outside Dubuque, sits the iconic site for the movie Field of Dreams. In 2021, a Major League Baseball stadium sprang up in the same cornfield and played host to a regular-season game. BrightView was a part of this special project by building and maintaining the ballfield, as we have done with other major projects. BaAm and Populous also were hired by MLB as part of the project.
"I saw the finished product [and] was just blown away... I think this probably is [Murray Cook's] masterpiece, to tell you the truth. He is a real craftsman. Murray and his staff's desire to make it absolutely perfect really shows through."
— Rob Manfred
, Commissioner of Major League Baseball
