It had to happen sooner or later. The Field of Dreams in Iowa is no more. The sale to developers who intend to turn the area into a youth baseball complex has now been finalized.

The single field on the edge of a corn field will be turned into a 24-field complex, and presumably look like hundreds of others of complexes around the country.

If you're kicking yourself for not visiting it and "having a catch" with your son or dad, well, welcome to the club.
