A feasibility study funded by Travel Dubuque projected the site would draw 136,000 visitors a year, create 81 jobs, host 62 events and generate $9.1 million in investment in the first year after the stadium is built. “It’s a lot going on,” Thomas told the Des Moines Register on Wednesday in Dyersville. A return is not certain, although an annual event seems baked into the numbers already, per the Des Moines Register: With all that construction happening, MLB was informed that holding a 2023 Field of Dreams game would not be possible. We would also expect some talk fairly soon about summer-collegiate ball at the site the location fits in the Northwoods League and Prospect League footprints. Seating 3,000 but expanding to 8,000 seats for big events (like future MLB Field of Dreams games), the ballpark would cost more than $50 million and be used for college and international tourneys, high school games and events like baseball camps, music concerts, festivals and group/corporate meetings.

Since then Travel Dubuque and a new nonprofit have arranged funding for a permanent 3,000-seat, $50-million ballpark at the Field of Dreams site, while an investment group led by former MLB slugger Frank Thomas announced an $80-million expansion for the iconic Iowa film location. (Repeating that success may be a challenge we’ll be eager to see how the ratings shake out.) The game was a huge success in 2021, both at the actual event and as a televised event in terms of ratings. I t culminates tonight with a Chicago Cubs/Cincinnati Reds matchup. This year’s Field of Dreams event began Tuesday with some local festivities followed by a Quad Cities River Bandits/Cedar Rapids Kernels match. With investors planning on overhauling the iconic Dyersville, IA movie site, tonight’s Field of Dreams game may be the last one, as construction will prevent a match in 2023–and MLB is not committing to future games.
