For the novelty it’d be cool if they didn’t have an outfield fence. If an outfielder manages to run into the corn fields and makes the catch it’s an out - albeit a very difficult one.

Looks like the camera-men behind the fence are gonna have to shuffle through the corn

Just show up and hand over $20. I hear you'll have reserved seats along one of the baselines.

I would be amaized if it went into extra innings. Why the Yankees and White Sox? Should of been the Cardinals and the Cubs. I get the White Sox were part of the movie storyline, but the fricking Yankees.

I'm guessing the Shoeless Joe angle for the White Sox in and the Yankees are for ratings.

Eastern Iowa is solid Cubs territory.

I'm a little bummed that it's not the actual field, but I guess they didn't have room around the actual field for bleachers, locker rooms, concessions, restrooms, etc.

Very excited to watch. Fox usually does their baseball broadcasts well so I expect the production to be top notch tonight.

They built a stadium behind it? I'm way disappointed now, and it won't be worth watching.

The actual field goes 300 feet to left field, 350 feet to center and 315 feet to right field.

You can’t play on that

It's in the same corn field on the same quarter of ground, if that is any consolation.

Meh, would be cool if they played on the actual field… Obviously would have to change some of the rules and the likes, but all they did was build a park next to the actual field.


The general consensus of the original thread. This is lame and gimmicky

I am pretty sure there has been a property dispute for between the farmers who both have land that intersects the actual field. So they have always had 2 gift shops lol.

Ty Cobb wanted tickets to the game but they told him to stick it.
