Tonight, Major League Baseball returns to Dyersville.
It’s the Twins and the Phillies in tonight’s match-up at the Field of Dreams – the first MLB game there since 2022 and the first MLB game played at the new permanent stadium.
The leader of a company that stages events for the National Hockey League, the FIFA soccer league and Major League Baseball says the stadium at the movie site fits perfectly in the landscape. Annemarie Roe is president of BaAM Productions.
Roe’s company has been part of making the dream of a “Field of Dreams” experience come true.
Roe says it’s required thousands of decisions – and she shares credit with the people of Dyersville.
Roe says the permanent plumbing at the stadium will likely be a fan favorite – in 2021 and 2022, there were portable toilets at the site for the Major League games. Major League Baseball officials aren’t saying whether the “Field of Dreams” game will become a permanent part of the yearly schedule, but Roe suggests the pieces are present in Dyersville if that happens.
