Major League Baseball is hosting its “Field of Dreams Game” between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox tonight (August 12) in Dyersville, Iowa.

Tonight’s game is a nod to the classic 1990 film starring Kevin Costner. Per CBS Sports, “The thrust of the event is that the Yankees and White Sox will play on a field not far from the location of the titular field — the diamond that Costner’s farmer character carved out of his corn field at great personal risk and expense, all at the heed of a spectral whisper: ‘If you build it, he will come.'”

In the lead-up to the game, Costner actually visited the “Field of Dreams” and his emotional reaction was captured by MLB and shared to their YouTube channel.

“Wow. Feels perfect. Every bit of it,” said Costner.

The “Field of Dreams Game” airs live on Fox beginning at 7 PM ET.

10 Fictional Places from TV and Movies We Wish We Could Visit

• Wakanda

  Share

  There are many wondrous settings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but perhaps the most stunning of them all is the Kingdom of Wakanda. It truly is an unbelievable nation, from its economy to its educational system. If only Wakanda were real...

• Monstropolis

  Share

  The whimsical Monstropolis is the setting of 'Monsters, Inc." Truth be told, one of the big reasons to visit Monstropolis is to dine at Harryhausen's, if only because it's SO exclusive!

• Themyscira/Paradise Island

  Share

  Who wouldn't want to visit the home of Wonder Woman?! Those Amazons are amazing!
• Radiator Springs

  Share

  Radiator Springs may be off the beaten path of Route 66, but their hospitality is second to none.

• Dillon, Texas

  Share

  Sure, there's plenty of drama in Dillon, but taking in a Friday night football game would be an incredible experience. At the end of the day, the mood could be summed up in two words: Texas forever.

• Gilligan’s Island

  Share

  Seemingly filled with unlimited resources (or at least supplies to make coconut cream pies), Gilligan's Island would be a blast to visit, particularly in the Minnow's crew and passengers were still there.
• Stars Hollow, CT

  Share

  All of the town festivals! All of the town characters! A visit to Stars Hollow would be amazing for people-watching alone. Of course, a meal at Luke's Diner or Al's Pancake World would be a must.

• Springfield

  Share

  Wherever Springfield is in the United States, it's definitely worth a visit. From Krustylu Studios to Moe's Tavern, there's something in Springfield for everyone.

• Pawnee, IN

  Share

  Pawnee is seemingly the biggest-little town in Indiana. They have nightlife (Snakehole Lounge, Cozy's Bar), they have plenty of restaurants (JJ's Diner, Tom's Bistro), they have...well...beautiful parks! Oh, and they have some of the best government workers ever, Jeremy Jamm excluded.
• Share

  Emerald City is certainly magical, but the journey along the yellow brick road is half the experience.
