PLAN THE DAY
Your Game-Day Timeline
Arriving early matters here more than at a conventional stadium. Rural roads, first-come parking, security screening and the movie-site activities all consume time.
Parking Opens
Show your game ticket before entering the access roads and follow staff to the first available lot.
Public Gates Open
Clear security, explore the movie site, take photos, play catch and walk through the corn path.
First Pitch
The Twins host the Phillies in the third MLB game staged at Field of Dreams.
Expect Exit Traffic
The venue is served by two-lane roads. Remain patient and follow event traffic staff when leaving.
Do not plan a tight postgame connection
Extended waits entering and exiting are expected. Avoid scheduling a flight, dinner reservation or long-distance transfer immediately after the game.
TICKETS & DIGITAL ACCESS
Load Your Tickets Before You Travel
Every game ticket is mobile. The ticket also functions as the parking credential required to enter the roads leading to the site, so the app is not a minor detail. It is the doorway.
Download the App
Install the MLB Ballpark app on the phone you will carry to the event.
Verify the Email
Use the same email associated with the ticket order and complete verification in advance.
Charge Your Phone
Open the app before reaching the rural venue and bring a portable battery if possible.
The official Iowa-resident MLB lottery has concluded
The public opportunity opened June 4, closed June 11, selected winners June 17 and held the lottery sale June 18. Current buyers must rely on remaining or independently sourced inventory.

What You Can Do at the Historic Movie Site
The attraction is not merely the game. The original movie field, house, corn path and landscape are the reason this event feels entirely different from another Thursday night at a regular stadium.

Use the movie-site house, field, red barn and cornfield setting as backdrops throughout the property.
Play Catch
Bring a glove and have a catch on the original Field of Dreams Movie Site before the MLB game.
Play Cornhole
Fan activities include cornhole in the movie-site outfield and additional sponsor activations.
Walk the Corn Path
The path through the corn connects the historic movie field to the MLB ballpark.
The House Is a Backdrop, Not a Tour
The Field of Dreams house will not be open for public tours during the MLB event. Guests may still take photographs with the house behind them. The Movie Site is scheduled to close to the general public from August 9 through August 15; event-day access is restricted to ticket holders.
1939–41-Inspired Road Look
The Phillies will wear gray uniforms with a historic red script, navy details and a commemorative sleeve patch inspired by the club’s late-1930s design.
Original-1960s-Inspired Home Look
The Twins will wear white pinstripes, classic script and the “Minnie and Paul” sleeve patch, echoing the franchise’s early Minnesota era.
