Future games are on hold while a new youth baseball and softball complex is under construction at the Field of Dreams site.
Future[edit]
MLB did not host a game at the ballpark in 2023 due to construction around the site.[34] Future plans include converting the site into a youth baseball and softball complex that one day would also have a hotel.[35] Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds confirmed that there will be another round of public funding to build a permanent stadium at the site.[36] Former MLB player Frank Thomas, who is part of the group that owns the property, did not rule out the possibility of future MLB games at the site after 2023.[37]
In 2024, there will be a similar game between the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals held at Rickwood Field in Alabama.[38]
