Since MLB announced the Field of Dreams series in 2019, BrightView has worked with MLB to draw up plans and carve out and maintain an MLB caliber ballfield in a cornfield adjacent to the Dyersville farm where the movie was filmed and the original field still stands. And the sequel, featuring the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs, promises to be just as epic.

It's been announced that a TV series based on A League of Their Own is in development at Amazon Studios.

Kevin Costner even personally made an appearance at the game to make things even more official. The game saw the White Sox defeating the Yankees with a score of 9-8.
