Field of Dreams Game Still An Uncertainty

Dyersville officials say they hope to learn about the fate of the Field of Dreams Major League Baseball game between the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees in the next week if the game is still on. MLB announced this week plans for a 60-game season, after the season was halted because of the coronavirus pandemic near the end of Spring Training. A labor dispute between owners and players has resulted with Commissioner Rob Manfred ordering a 60 game season beginning July 24^th. The August 13th matchup between the Yankees and the White Sox in Dyersville has received national and international attention when it was announced last August. Officials have continued to make progress on a new, 8,000-seat ballpark on the site for what is slated to be the first-ever MLB contest held in Iowa. However, health concerns and scheduling details could put the game in jeopardy.
