However, there are plans in motion to put up youth baseball and softball complexes in the stadium. And the construction is set to begin this year. 

According to Baseball Hall of Famer Frank Thomas, part of the complex’s ownership group, “It’s a lot going on. They don’t want to come back if the stadium’s not prepared.” 

If the construction does start this year, it will likely be going on for the next year as well. This means that the Field of Dreams Game might not return in 2023.

This year, the game is going to be played between the Chicago Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds. Considering that both the teams are near the bottom of the National League, this year’s star is going to be the Ball Park.

Nevertheless, both teams are paying tribute by wearing throwback jerseys of the early 1900s. Furthermore, Joey Votto and Ian Happ will be mic’d up during the game. 

In addition to this, each team will have a throwback logo carved into the corn, and it will be just beyond the right-field wall.
