When the opportunity arose to bring this new stadium adjacent to the most famous cornfield in Iowa I thought, this might be the only chance that fans get to experience this so we must get this right.

#FIELD OF DREAMS STADIUM MOVIE#

I remember watching the movie with my dad back in 1989 thinking how exciting it would be to play here. Since Major League Baseball is coming to Iowa this August, we figured, why couldn’t we? At the start of the year, we received artwork that would help us build a stadium paying homage to the famed Field of Dreams in rural Iowa. Reconstructing the most famous cornfield in Iowa to include in MLB The Show 21 was an awesome chance to show what makes this game unique and why we love baseball. We didn’t stop with just adding this iconic stadium to MLB The Show 21, but we have an entire week of live content dedicated to Field of Dreams.

The team at San Diego Studio worked closely with the field architects and MLB to accurately replicate this one-of-a-kind field.

A pathway through a cornfield took fans to the ballpark, which overlooks the famous movie location. MLB constructed an 8,000-seat ballpark on the Dyersville site. MLB at Field of Dreams presented by GEICO was part of the GEICO Summer Series. Stillman began working with MLB in 2015, which has now culminated in this special game. Since 1989, the Lansing Family Farm, which was used in the movie, has been a popular tourist attraction, now known as the ' Field of Dreams Movie Site.' In 2011, the field was purchased by Denise Stillman and a group of investors with the goal of preserving the 'Field of Dreams' and creating a special place for baseball fans, tournament players and families. The White Sox and the Yankees are the two favorite Clubs of Ray's father, John Kinsella, at different points of his life. Kinsella's 1982 novel Shoeless Joe, tells the story of Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella, a husband and father who is tending to his cornfield when he hears a mysterious voice intone, 'If you build it, he will come.' According to the American Film Institute (AFI), those words are the 39th top film quote of all-time. It was nominated for the Academy Award® for Best Picture in 1990 and was selected to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2017. Field of Dreams stars Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta, James Earl Jones and Amy Madigan.
