It’s been confirmed the Chicago Cubs will play the Cincinnati Reds next August in the second Field of Dreams Major League baseball game in northeast Iowa.
Dyersville Chamber of Commerce executive director, Karla Thompson, says they are pleased that everything went well in the first game. The event drew praise from across the country.
And now they are at work preparing for the next game.
With all the publicity the game received on social media and through the national broadcast it’s was anticipated that tourist traffic in Dyersville and the Field of Dreams movie site would pick up. Thompson says the impact didn’t take long to kick in.
Thompson says they are using what they learned from the game and the events surrounding it to look at things that need to be improved.
She says there is one big concern still out there as they make plans for next year.
The second Field of Dreams game is set for August 11th. There are other events going on in Dyersville and at the Field of Dreams throughout the year. You can find out more about those at the Dyersville Chamber of Commerce website at www.dyersville.org.
