College Baseball: Hawkeyes to Face Kansas at Field of Dreams This Fall
Kansas is coming off one of its best seasons in program history after going 45-18 and winning the Big 12 regular-season and tournament titles.
On Oct. 10, the Iowa Hawkeyes and Kansas Jayhawks will play an exhibition baseball game at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa, with first pitch at 1 p.m., the Iowa athletic department announced Monday.
The Field of Dreams, featured in the 1989 baseball classic starring Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta, James Earl Jones and Amy Madigan, has hosted major and minor league games since 2021 and will see the Minnesota Twins face the Philadelphia Phillies on Aug. 13.
Kansas is coming off one of its best seasons in program history, finishing 45-18 and winning the Big 12 regular-season and tournament championships before advancing to an NCAA Super Regional, where the Jayhawks fell to the Oklahoma Sooners.
Iowa finished 33-23 and made its 11th straight Big Ten Tournament appearance, while all tickets to the Oct. 10 showdown cost $12 each.
Under NCAA rules, baseball teams are permitted to play two fall exhibition games each year, and the field will host the Iowa Cubs versus St. Paul Saints on Aug. 11 before the collegiate matchup.
