For the second year in a row and the second time in history, the state of Iowa will host a big league baseball game on Thursday in the town of Dyersville. The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds will play the second edition of the \u201cField of Dreams\u201d game in a tribute to the iconic 1989 film \u201cField of Dreams\u201d. The dimensions of the field used in the movie \u2013 now a prominent tourist destination in eastern Iowa \u2013 aren\u2019t appropriate for big league baseball; consequently, another field was constructed nearby which was used in last year\u2019s game and will be used in the second edition on Thursday night. The stadium that was built for the special “Field of Dreams” game seats around 8,000 fans. Last year\u2019s game turned out to be a slug fest between the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees with the game decided by a game-winning home run and the White Sox prevailing, 9-8. That game turned out to be the most-watched regular season game on any network since 1998.<\/p>\n

One final note, the “Field of Dreams” game on Thursday night may have to satisfy baseball fans for two years as there is a chance that the special event will be skipped in 2023 due to construction at the site of additional youth softball and baseball complexes.<\/p>\n
