The field is free to visit, free to even play on (if you bring your own bat, ball, team!) but they will not rent it out for events.

I went there ten years ago on a trip to Iowa.
Personally, I did not find it all that interesting ... except for the dispute between the two owners both claiming to be the "real" Field of Dreams.
If they are going to convert this to a youth baseball facility attracting youth teams from around the country, where are they going to stay? Dubuque?
