Ballpark

The game will be held at the filming location of the 1989 baseball movie, in Dyersville, Iowa. It will be the first Major League game in Dyersville. A temporary 8,000-seat ballpark will be constructed specifically for the game. The design of the ballpark will pay homage to the White Sox home from 1910 to 1990, Comiskey Park, including the shape of the outfield and the bullpens beyond the center field fence. The right field wall will include windows to show the cornfields beyond the ballpark and will provide views of the movie set.[1][2]
