Before All-Star Ballpark Heaven developer Denise Stillman made an offer to purchase the land, and before the controversy over plans for a 24 ball field mega sports complex that would turn the small town of Dyersville upside down and enflame residents, farmers, supporters and purists, here is a richly expansive story, posted two years ago, from the online news network 16 x 9 about the Field of Dreams Movie Site, as Don and Becky Lansing had just put the iconic diamond and farm up for sale. Contained in this piece are warm appreciations by visitors to the Field, a brief history of the farm and its entering into worldwide fame via the movie, and the beginnings of concern by citizens of Dyersville that over-commercialization will threaten the Field’s allure and legacy. Even though we’re not completely out of the woods yet, I’m sure many will see how, beyond the speed bump of big city, money-minded corporate endeavors, the Field of Dreams Movie Site will likely continue, unfettered by a theme park-esque addition, with the smiles and simple games of catch that are prevalent in this all-inclusive report.
