Major League Baseball is set to make a historic return to the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa, on August 13, 2024, when the Minnesota Twins take on the Philadelphia Phillies in a regular‑season matchup that will be streamed exclusively on Netflix.
The game will be played in a brand‑new permanent stadium that replaced the temporary ballpark used in 2021 and 2022, marking a permanent home for the beloved Iowa landmark.
The venue’s dimensions have been carefully calibrated to honor the original setting while meeting modern standards, with right‑field and left‑field lines measured at 335 feet and a straightaway center of exactly 400 feet, while the outfield alleys stretch to 380 feet.
Fans can expect a unique viewing experience as the broadcast will begin at 5:30 p.m. Central Time, offering a blend of nostalgic scenery and contemporary production values.
A New Chapter for a Iowa Landmark
The permanent stadium not only preserves the magical atmosphere that made the original site famous, it also introduces upgraded amenities and a larger capacity, allowing more spectators to experience the magic of the field firsthand.
Local officials and community leaders have embraced the event as a catalyst for tourism and economic activity, highlighting how the partnership with a global streaming platform can showcase Iowa’s cultural heritage to a worldwide audience.
