Field of Dreams

The Field of Dreams is a baseball venue in Dyersville, Iowa, surrounded by working cornfields and equipped with a hand-operated scoreboard and wooden seating sections. The facility combines traditional ballpark features with the rural landscape and accommodates several thousand people during official games.

The original site was created in 1989 for a film production and remained open to visitors afterward. Major League Baseball later built a larger facility near the original movie set to host professional contests in a rural setting.

The site takes its name from a film that celebrates the idea of building a baseball diamond among farmland. Visitors often walk through tall corn stalks to reach the playing surface, just as they do in the movie scene.

The ballpark sits away from urban areas and requires travel on rural roads through farmland. Arriving early during events helps secure parking and avoid delays, as access routes and lots have limited capacity.

The outfield walls feature windows that let spectators see the surrounding cornfields during games. These openings create a direct visual link between the sports facility and Iowa farmland.
