Field of Dreams Becomes the Hall of Fame, as 26 Members Come Out of the Corn for Phillies-Twins Game
The permanent ballpark seats about 8,000 for the showcase game, and more than 25 Hall of Famers are scheduled to attend.
- On Thursday, the Minnesota Twins host the Philadelphia Phillies at a new permanent ballpark in Dyersville, Iowa, marking Major League Baseball's return to the 1989 film 'Field of Dreams' site.
- After hosting games at a temporary facility in 2021 and 2022, Dyersville residents and MLB officials funded a permanent 3,000-seat venue to ensure the area continues attracting visitors and events.
- With temporary bleachers, the venue holds about 8,000 people. MLB senior vice president of global operations and events Jeremiah Yolkut called it "the perfect blend of being in the movie" with modern amenities.
- Twins manager Derek Shelton invited his father to the game, calling it "a really cool moment to be able to share" with family. MLB officials prepared contingency plans to play Friday if rain forces postponement.
- More than 25 members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame will attend. Unlike previous temporary sites, this permanent structure enables Dyersville to host year-round youth, college, and senior-level competitions.
