On Aug. 8, 2019, Major League Baseball announced its plans to play a regular season game at the Dyersville, Iowa, site of the classic 1989 film Field of Dreams. The development of the site and a temporary 8,000-seat ballpark launched immediately, with the goal of featuring the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees on Aug. 13, 2020.

In March 2020, the coronavirus pandemic began to impact MLB’s schedule in numerous ways. MLB preserved its goal of hosting “MLB at Field Of Dreams presented by GEICO” as the calendar flipped to August. On Aug. 4, however, MLB determined that due to the ongoing realities of the pandemic, it was best to postpone the historic event until its 2021 season.

The most highly anticipated game in Major League Baseball history was back on the schedule for Thursday, Aug. 12, 2021, with the matchup from the original plans for the 2020 game of the White Sox and Yankees. The two teams faced one another in a classic game with a dramatic 9-8 win for the White Sox with a walk-off homerun in the bottom of the ninth inning.

MLB will hold another game at the stadium in 2022 between the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs.

We Built It...

The BrightView Sports Turf team that built the field for the MLB at Field of Dreams game.

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. The temporary ballpark paid homage to Comiskey Park, which once was home to the Chicago White Sox from 1910 through 1990.

BrightView was a part of this special project by building and maintaining the ballfield, as we have done with other major projects, such as the Little League Classic, the 2016 Fort Bragg Game, the 2019 London Series, the 2019 season opener in Japan, and the historic exhibition game in Havana, Cuba. BaAm and Populous also were hired by MLB as part of the project.

Construction began in August 2019 by digging and moving around 30,000 cubic yards of soil to level the field. Met with sweltering Iowa heat and humidity, the team also dealt with conditions surrounding "corn sweat," the process by which moisture in plant leaves evaporates into the air, and having to keep the field maintained for more than a year since the game was postponed due to the pandemic. The finished product is one BrightView is proud of and is thrilled to see shine during the big game. 

...and the People Came

The 8,000-seat stadium hosted the Aug. 12, 2021, game between the White Sox and Yankees. Although this was not the smallest facility to host an MLB regular-season game (that honor goes to the Little League Classic game at Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pa.), it was the first in the state of Iowa.

The ballpark overlooked the movie site with a pathway going through the corn to link the two fields for attendees to walk between and with an MLB-themed corn maze.

It was a priority of MLB and its Commissioner, Rob Manfred, to allow fans to experience significant events in important locations and to create memories for fans who are outside of MLB markets. Everyone involved, including MLB and BrightView, delivered a great event, created lifelong memories, and celebrated the theme of Field of Dreams and, particularly, its focus on families.
