Is there anyone who can't finish that sentence?
The Associated Press reports that "An Illinois couple" hopes to buy the farmhouse and baseball field in Dyersville, Iowa that was the site in the movie, Field of Dreams.
For what? For 24 baseball and softball diamonds. Why, shades of McHenry County!
Do you know where Dyersville, Iowa is? I do. I've been there. Twice. It is literally out in the middle of nowhere.
My first thought was, "If you can't sell it in Illinois, peddle it in Iowa." Remember the failed attempt for a baseball field at MCC? And on Route 14 near Woodstock? And in Lake in the Hills along Route 47?
I wonder if the "Illinois couple" is putting up its own money in the venture or if they will seek investors. You know "investors"; right? People who actually want a return of their investment, not just on their investment.
Look on your map for Dyersville, a town of 4,000 people. How would it accommodate people, traffic, etc. associated with such a venture? And, if the project failed, who would be left with the mess?
Who is involved in the deal? Any familiar names?

No but you can see it from there. HA HA.
I've been there but the tour of the ERTL Model Toy factory is worth the trip. They have a resale outlet shop and have literally thousands of old reproductions for sale.
