The baseball world will have all eyes on a cornfield tonight as the first-ever Major League game will be played in the state of Iowa. The New York Yankees take on the Chicago White Sox.

Constructed just a few hundred yards from the original in the movie Field of Dreams, the game will be played on a beautiful natural grass field. And the crowd of 8,000 all-Iowa residents will have more than baseball to take in. Adjacent to the baseball field is a corn maze in the design of the MLB logo.

Construction on the field began in August of 2019
