RoadDog Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 In his first appearance back at the site where his movie Field of Dreams was filmed, Kevin Costner hung out with fans, ran bases, and gave a 75 minute performance with his band. This took place August 11th and was at Dyersville, Iowa, right by US-20. This was also the first time the movie was actually screened at the site according to an article by Mark Caro in the Chicago Tribune of August 14 in an article titled "Recurring 'Dreams.'" At least 5000 fans showed up and several hundred were turned away when the local fire department declared the place at capacity. Evidently, the land is owned by two families who don't get along too well. This event took place at what is called Left & Center Field of Dreams. The right field, infield, and area by the white farmhouse is owned by another family and was off limits. Both have gift shops. It is too bad these two families can't just get along. I hope to visit the site this week as we'll be driving US-20 to Galena, Il., one beautiful drive. The movie was screened by the Rolling Roadshow, which this August is visiting ten movie sites and showing the movie for free. Upcoming ones are the 24th- Poseidon Adventure in Long Beach, Ca., and 26th- Escape from Alcatraz in San Francisco, Ca.
