WHEN WORKING ON A BASEBALL TRIP SCHEDULE IN THE EARLY SPRING
OF 2005, I SAW THAT I COULD MAKE A SIDE TRIP TO DYERSVILLE, IOWA AND VISIT THE "FIELD OF DREAMS" MOVIE SITE. BEING A FAN OF
THE FILM AND HEARING SOME POSITIVE REVIEWS, I DECIDED TO MAKE THE SIDE TRIP. IT IS ONE I WILL NEVER FORGET AND ONE THAT I
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
BASEBALL PLACES LIKE BASEBALL PARKS SEEM TO LEAN TOWARDS THE
ELECTRONICS OR THE EXTRAS. THE "FIELD OF DREAMS" SITE, LIKE WRIGLEY FIELD OFFER A LOT BY DOING VERY LITTLE.
DRIVING THROUGH THE CORN FIELDS OF IOWA, THE VIEW FROM AFAR WHICH I CAN
ONLY IMAGINE WOULD BE EVEN MORE SPECTACULAR AT NIGHT WITH THE LIGHTS ON, THE FIRST VIEW OF THE "FIELD OF DREAMS" MOVIE
SITE.
THE FIELD OF DREAMS MOVIE SITE
LOCATION ::: DYERSVILLE,
IOWA
MY FIRST VISIT ::: JULY 6, 2005
IT IS ALL HERE .. THE HOUSE, THE CORN, AND THE BLEACHERS WHERE THE LITTLE
GIRL WAS CHOKING ON THE HOT DOG.
FAMILIES PLAYING ON THE FIELD WITH OTHER FAMILIES .. FATHERS AND SONS
PLAYING PEPPER IN RIGHT FIELD ... A DIFFERENT GROUP HAVING A CATCH IN LEFT FIELD.
ALL WITHOUT ANY FRILLS, JUST A THICK GRASS FIELD AND A WHOLE LOT
OF CHARM.
I WALKED THROUGH THE CORN AND I LISTENED .. I HOPED TO HEAR THE WHISPER
.. I DIDN'T BUT IT DIDN'T CHANGE THE FEELING OF THE PLACE OR THE VIEW.
BEFORE I LEFT I HAD TO TAKE ONE MORE LOOK .. I'LL NEVER FORGET MY 30
MINUTE VISIT TO A FIELD SURROUNDED BY A CORN FIELD.
A REMINDER OUTSIDE THE SOUVENIR STAND ON THE FIRST BASE SIDE OF THE SITE.
