Field of Dreams: Vandals damage famous baseball field

DYERSVILLE, Ia. — A vandal has caused thousands of dollars in damage to the Field of Dreams by driving a vehicle onto the site made famous by the 1989 movie, according to the Dubuque Telegraph Herald.

Workers at the site outside Dyersville found the damage Tuesday morning and were still assessing the costs and needed repairs, according to the Telegraph Herald.

Owner Denise Stillman says a vehicle made deep gashes in the outfield and damaged a sprinkler system. The damage was especially severe because the ground was soft following warm weather and rain.

Images of the vandalism by the Field of Dreams movie site shows track marks across the diamond.

Stillman says repairs will continue through the summer but the field will remain open.
Thousands visit the eastern Iowa field at no charge, running around the bases and walking to the surrounding cornfields.

There are also plans to install a security system to protect the field, according to a GoFundMe site that was made to fund the repairs. 

It was created for the movie "Field of Dreams" starring Kevin Costner.
