If you build it, they will come (back). <\/p>\n
According to The Athletic<\/a>, MLB is set to host a \u201cField of Dreams\u201d game in 2026. <\/p>\n The game, which will be the third set at a field in the middle of a Dyersville, Iowa cornfield, will feature the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies. <\/p>\n The game is inspired by the iconic 1989 film starring Kevin Costner in which an Iowa farmer, inspired by strange voices, builds a baseball field in his cornfield that attracts the ghosts of baseball legends. <\/p>\n MLB has not confirmed the news or a date for the game, but next year\u2019s schedule will be released on Tuesday. <\/p>\n Two previous games between the White Sox and Yankees in 2021 and the Cubs and the Reds in 2022 took place in August. <\/p>\n The game typically thrives on nostalgia and motifs from baseball\u2019s past, a broadcast with retro graphics and players from both teams emerging from the cornfield, just like in the movie. <\/p>\n MLB has not play a \u201cField of Dreams\u201d game for the past three years while the site was sold to new owners and a permanent youth facility and fields were constructed. <\/p>\n Special games have instead been played at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama<\/a> (paying tribute to the Negro Leagues). at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee and in Williamsport during the Little League World Series. <\/a><\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
