A Rare Fall Showdown
Iowa’s baseball program will welcome the Kansas Jayhawks to the legendary Field of Dreams site in Dyersville, Iowa, on October 10, 2027, for a special fall‑ball exhibition that does not count toward official season records.
Both teams arrived at the event after deep runs in the 2026 season; Iowa finished 33‑23 and secured its eleventh straight Big Ten Tournament appearance, while Kansas captured the Big 12 regular‑season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Super Regional.
The newly reconstructed press box at the venue will be named in honor of Gary Dolphin, the longtime Iowa basketball radio announcer, as a tribute to his lasting impact on the university’s sports broadcasting legacy.
Tickets are general admission and priced at $12, with purchases available through the Field of Dreams MovieSite. The game is part of a fall‑ball series that aims to celebrate the historic ballpark’s enduring appeal.
First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. Central Time, and while broadcast details are still being finalized, the matchup promises a nostalgic return to the iconic cornfield setting for fans of both programs.
