Briar Cliff University and Luther College to be first colleges to play at the Field of Dreams Movie Site

Briar Cliff University will be playing a history-making game for the baseball program at the Field of Dreams original movie site in Dyersville, Iowa on September 16, 2022. Briar Cliff will be the first college to play on the field and they have chosen Luther College in Decorah, Iowa as their opponent. 
 
The Field of Dreams became a notable landmark in Iowa after the movie was released in 1989, inspiring millions. Released by Universal Pictures, the movie starred Kevin Costner and became an Academy Award nominee for "Best Picture of the Year." Major League Baseball hosted a Yankees vs. White Sox game at the site in August this year, the first-ever regular-season game to be played in Iowa. The game included special guest Costner himself and drew over 5.9 million viewers.
 
Briar Cliff's baseball program has been drawing attention in recent months. The program facilities have undergone a nearly $900k transformation, including a new infield turf completed in March 2021 – the first to turf in Siouxland. During the 2022 spring season, the Chargers ended with a 28-21 overall mark, with seven players on all-GPAC teams. The program has also hosted training camps with MLB scouts.
 
Luther College ended its 2022 spring season with record of 22-20. The Norse have made six appearances at the NCAA Division III National Tournament.
