LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas Baseball will play a fall exhibition game against Iowa at the iconic Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville, Iowa, on Oct. 10 at 1 p.m. CT. The matchup between Kansas and Iowa will mark the first Division I college baseball game played at the venue.

With a capacity of approximately 5,350 at the site, fans are advised to arrive early. Gates to the ballpark will open at noon CT. Fans unable to attend will be able to listen to the game on the Jayhawk Sports Network on KUAthletics.com and the Kansas Jayhawks app.
The aura around the Field of Dreams stems from a 1989 film that stars Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta, James Earl Jones and Amy Madigan. It was nominated for the Academy Award® for Best Picture in 1990 and was selected to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2017. The 1989 film, adapted from W. P. Kinsella's 1982 novel Shoeless Joe, tells the story of Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella, a husband and father who is tending to his cornfield when he hears a mysterious voice intone, "If you build it, he will come."
The field that the game will be played on is approximately 500 feet from the original field constructed for the movie.
Kansas won three championships in 2026, including the Big 12 regular season title, the Big 12 Tournament title and the Lawrence Regional title. The Jayhawks finished the year with a 45-18 overall record to tie the most wins ever in a season. KU qualified for a second consecutive NCAA Tournament for only the second time in program history and hosted the first ever Lawrence Regional and Lawrence Super Regional.
