I hope you get to go with your dad. Don't care for either team, but it would be an awesome experience.
Awesome. Going to have to bring in a lot of bleachers.
Don't like either team, but that is a "homerun" of an idea. Awesome for the sport, the movie, the state. Really cool to read this. Every once in awhile the world gets it right.
Kevin Costner better be able to sit behind home plate.

No better place to have the first MLB game in Iowa, than at the Field Of Dreams.
Your 2005 World Series Champs are coming to the STATE of Iowa!
GO WHITE SOX!
GO WHITE SOX!
Read they will modify it to seat 8,000. I'm sure they'll have to spend to do quite a bit to make it MLB compliant, but I also hope they keep the corn visible as the outfield. There is no warning track currently, so I'm sure they'll have to put that in with a lower fence ect. I hope articles come out in the coming weeks detailing all the changes.
They aren't using the field at all. They're building a totally separate 8000 seat temporary stadium.
This is still cool but way, way less cool that it could have been.
All they had to do was trim the corn back about 25 feet and redo the infield to make it MLB compliant.

Explains it a lot more now.
Makes sense to build a separate as you'd have to change the original so much it wouldn't be what it's mean to be anymore.
Boy idk what tickets might end up costing but I’m gonna try like hell to go. I have a feeling it might be kind of be sort of super bowlish in that you need to have business connections to get in.
Yeah I wonder how many Iowans will actually get to go. Probably have to have an "in" to sniff a chance.
The fact that they are going to be building something tells me this will not be a one time thing which is awesome.
