August 13, 2020 the yankees will be playing the white sox at the actual field of dreams. Fans will have to walk through the corn field to get to the field, and the temporary bleachers will hold only 8000 people. IT will count as a white sox home game. Can you imagine how expensive those tickets are going to be?!

"If you build it, they will come"

Pass.

I'll watch the RE-runs

I love that movie.

Cool concept for the game.

If I went up there, there better be some ghosts playing ball.

I think its pretty cool.

I will pass, but I bet a lot of people will want those tickets.

That is VERY cool!

As long as they wont have desperate kardashians, a$ap rockies and puf daddy’s sitting front row.

I remember the Field of Dreams having a much lower capacity than 8000.

The ticket stubs alone might bring a pretty penny from collectors, with unused tickets demanding even more. You just never know.

Great idea, can't believe MLB and the Player's Association would approve it.

If it was local I would go. Sounds cool, I like the movie, and I haven't been to a MLB game since about 1998.

What’s funny is that property is owned by two different people and last time I read about it, they don’t get a long.

If i was close, I would try to go. I think it would be pretty cool to see.

Wonder if it is going to be a day game or they are going to bring in lights for a night game.

The field had lights in the movie.

If Kevin Costner doesn't throw out the first pitch, then all of MLB should be fired.

Absolutely. Get James Earl Jones as a commentator, just because his voice is awesome.

I think this is a very cool idea by MLB. Way better than going to London.

If I was a die hard baseball fan that would be a great game to go to. Ticket prices are gonna be sky high.

News showed plans for temp bleachers along sidelines where the ones in the movie still are, you can see the field (as-is) on Google maps

The original Light set up is still in place, not saying they wouldn't need more for a crowd they large tho.





JE Jones alone would be worth the trip, one of the most iconic narrative voices ever, damn good actor as well.

I would go if it was close. but where are they going to park 8,000 cars on that dirt road?

One can only imagine what dads are going to be willing to pay to take their sons and daughters to such a one-time event, given the heavy dad theme in the movie. Adults sons and dads will likely be making plans to attend.

Five figures for tickets on the resale market seems very likely. Heck, as in the movie, a long drive to Iowa alone will ensure many memories. With that in mind, don't be surprised if local viewing places are not announced for those unable to get tickets. And tickets for these too will likely have a high resale value.

They are building a separate field for the game to be held on, apparently the movie field is too small.

"“Field of Dreams” will become a big-league reality on Aug. 13, 2020, when the beloved 1989 baseball movie will spring to life in the Iowa cornfields. As announced Thursday, the White Sox and Yankees will stage the first Major League game in the Hawkeye State, in a temporary 8,000-seat ballpark constructed in the corn on the Dyersville farm site where the classic film was shot.

Construction on the small ballpark that will house the game will begin next Tuesday, exactly one year from the date of the game and a little more than 30 years from the release of the movie starring Kevin Costner and based on W.P. Kinsella’s "Shoeless Joe" novel.

A project of this nature for a single MLB game is not without precedent. In 2016, a 12,500-seat facility was built on an unused golf course on the grounds of Fort Bragg for a game between the Marlins and Braves that celebrated the military. But the Dyersville facility will not be the smallest-capacity stadium to house an MLB game. That honor belongs to BB&T Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field, home of the Little League Classic, which has a capacity of 2,366 and will host the 2019 Little League Classic between the Cubs and Pirates on Sunday, Aug. 18."
