Construction at the movie site will prevent a game next year, though it's possible that MLB returns in a later year after work is complete.
“It’s a lot going on,” Thomas told the Des Moines Register on Wednesday in Dyersville. “They don’t want to come back if the stadium’s not prepared.”
MLB’s first trip to Iowa was a smash success: “Field of Dreams” actor Kevin Costner emerged from the corn before the game and walked around the field. Players from the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees followed him out. The teams proceeded to put on a nationally televised show for the ages, with a back-and-forth matchup that ended with White Sox star Tim Anderson crushing a walk-off homer into the corn.
Thomas serves as the chief operating officer while Dan Evans, a former general manger of the Los Angeles Dodgers, is the chief operating officer. Chicago real estate developer Rick Heidner is also in the group.
