Field of Dreams game traffic looks absolutely dreadful

The Field of Dreams game between the White Sox and Yankees should be heavenly, but getting there apparently involves some hellish traffic.

Outside of playoff baseball, the biggest MLB spectacle of the year is set for Thursday night with the Field of Dreams game.

The stadium, built next to the field used to film the 1989 movie, is ready. The White Sox and Yankees are on hand. The cornfield is luscious.  All that’s left is getting 8,000 fans into the stands.

It turns out that’s easier said than done. According to a Yankees beat writer, the traffic jam to get to the site is a nightmare.

Four hours before first pitch, the line of cars trying to get in was interminable.

There was a massive line to get into the Field of Dreams game

Randy Peterson of the Des Moines Register provided a video of what the line of cars looked like from outside.

This shouldn’t be a surprise since the roads in this region of Iowa definitely weren’t designed with hosting an MLB game in mind. Still, that’s a literal nightmare for fans anxious to make their way to the Field of Dreams.

The game is scheduled to start at 7:15 p.m. ET. Those parking attendants have better get a move on.
