If you build it, they will come: FOX Sports hosts ‘Field of Dreams’ game

Time lapse video for Field of Dreams Game

Footage shows a time lapse of crews working tirelessly to recreate the iconic Field of Dreams ball park in the same location the movie was filmed.

LOS ANGELES - FOX Sports is hosting a "Field of Dreams" game featuring a matchup between the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox in Dyersville, Iowa, where the iconic film "Field of Dreams" movie featuring Kevin Costner was filmed.

A video shared by FOX Sports shows a timelapse of crews building the iconic baseball field to match the set of the film for Thursday’s game.

In the video, crews can be seen planting corn and shaping the field down the every meticulous detail. Thursday’s game is sure to be a huge dose of nostalgia for old fans and tons of excitement for new ones.

The film "Field of Dreams" was released in 1989 and depicts Costner’s character, Ray who sees visions of ghosts in the cornfields of the property he owns. The ghosts tell him "if you build it, he will come," referring to baseball legend "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.

Now, FOX Sports has rebuilt the iconic field that nearly 8,000 fans will watch as the Yankees and White Sox play surrounded by Iowa cornfields.

On Monday, Chicago posted promotional photos on their social media accounts with the memorable catchphrase from the film.
