A week after major development projects at the Field of Dreams movie site were announced, plans are moving along to acquire land and obtain the needed permits. Last week, officials with Go the Distance Baseball, which owns the Field of Dreams, unveiled an $80 million master plan of projects and improvements while also keeping the original movie site intact. The plans call for the addition of nine ballfields, a 104-room boutique hotel, 100,000-square-foot fieldhouse, outdoor concert amphitheater, team dormitories, a recreational vehicle park, an all-abilities inclusive park and jogging trails through the cornfields. The work will be done in two phases, with plans for it to be completed by 2025. As part of the expansion plan, 100 acres will be added to the current 190-acre site. Of that additional land, 70 acres are on the north side of the Field of Dreams site, and 30 acres are located across Lansing Road to the south.
