If you build it, they will come — and since it’s already built, they’re going to play.

The field where they'll play was built around a cornfield baseball diamond in Dyersville, Iowa, where the 1989 Kevin Costner movie "Field of Dreams" was shot. The real-life Field of Dreams seats 8,000 people.
The Chicago White Sox played the New York Yankees at the field on Aug. 12, winning the game 9-8. That game was originallyscheduled for 2020, but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
