Dyersville Establishes “Clean Zone” For Time Around MLB Game

The City of Dyersville will once again enact a measure that aims to safeguard Major League Baseball’s interest while also ensuring the town isn’t overrun by outside street vendors during the upcoming Major League game between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds on August 11th at the Field of Dreams. Referred to as a “Clean Zone,” the temporary ordinance establishes and regulates commercial activity from August 8th to August 13th and prohibits the sale of tickets along with the sale of merchandise — other than by an existing business within the city — on public streets, sidewalks and right-of-ways; outside an enclosed building; or from any temporary structure. Violators of the ordinance can face fines of up to $500, up to six months’ imprisonment, or both.
