What's this?

Yanks / White Sox at Field of Dreams..well sort of

The game is not actually being played on the field from the movie. That field is still there, next to the house, but the game is on another field they built next door that is more like an A ball stadium.

I'm glad I went there before they decided to build a complex of fields around it. Went in 2011, played catch with my son on the field and all that, then went to the National Farm Toy museum which is on the highway at the Dyersville exit. Found that a lot more interesting than the field.

Will be interesting to see if Fox uses tech to make it look like the outfield is the corn and such, similar to what they did last year to add people to the stands.

Does the complex have an actually wall or is it just corn? If corn I would -- jdkhokie 08/12/2021 11:06AM

Please tell me you asked to "play catch" -- s.mill hokie 08/12/2021 10:24AM

Don't speak Canadian English, Eh? -- Flemington Hokie 08/12/2021 10:55AM

I actually heard 1 person IRL use 'have a catch'...all the rest 'play' ** -- statmanfromHCyrs 08/12/2021 10:52AM

I thought that line was strange as well but it still made me tear up... -- bluehokie 08/12/2021 10:38AM

That's solid dad work, there, Vienna. Played catch on that field?! +1000 ** -- Riverguy 08/12/2021 09:20AM

Yeah, agreed. That's pretty great. ** -- reestuart 08/12/2021 10:08AM

They had a youth league/travel ball game on TV last night there. -- RhinoVT 08/12/2021 09:14AM

That's disappointing not to be on the actual field -- TheNuke 08/12/2021 08:57AM

Tonight's field is 335 down the lines, 380 to alleys, 400 to CF. ** -- BobG 08/12/2021 11:15AM

Mimics the old Comiskey lines. Your #s are from the movie field. ** -- BobG 08/12/2021 11:16AM
