August 13, 200620 yr Anyone ever been to the actual field in Iowa? Kevin Costner was just there during a screening of the movie..with about 5000 people. It was part of this screening tour that Netfliex is promoting.
August 13, 200620 yr Yeah, I have. It's pretty cool. They let you play on the ball field for as long as you want and they have some bats and gloves out there. There are two gift shops there because of a dispute over the land (one person owns from like left field over and the other person owns the rest). You can go up to the house as close as the fence. Unfortunately when I went a few years ago the corn wasn't that high, so it wasn't as cool a feel as it is in the movie. It was included in part of a baseball tour and as a fan of the movie I'm glad I saw it, but it's not something I would have sought out or made a trip to by myself.
August 13, 200620 yr Been there a couple times.. definitely not as sweet looking as it looks in the movie. The OF is really really short and the gift shops definitely takes "something" away from it. The power line that goes over it, which you obviously don't see in the movie, isn't that pretty either. All in all though, its still awesome.
