Today, the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies will take the field in Dyersville for the return of the MLB at Field of Dreams.\n\nFor baseball fans, it\u2019s a chance to experience one of the most iconic places in the history of the game.\n\nFor rural Iowa, the impact goes well beyond baseball.\n\nVisitors coming to town will stay in nearby hotels, grab meals at a local restaurant, shop at small businesses, and experience Iowa hospitality firsthand.\n\nThis week\u2019s events are projected to generate at least $40 million in economic activity, supporting businesses and workers in Dyersville and communities across the region.\n\nBut what I love most about the Field of Dreams is that it gives millions of people a glimpse into our home and what makes rural Iowa special.\n\nThey\u2019ll see a small town capable of hosting one of the biggest events in sports. They\u2019ll see local business owners working overtime to welcome visitors. They\u2019ll see volunteers pitching in and Iowa hospitality on full display.\n\nI\u2019m proud to see Dyersville in the national spotlight and excited for people across the country to see what rural Iowa has to offer, both on and off the field.\n\nThe Dyersville Area Chamber of Commerce represents nearly 300 businesses and organizations. Events like this bring thousands of visitors to the area, supporting the local restaurants, shops, hotels, and other small businesses that make up the community.\n\nAnd the impact doesn\u2019t necessarily end when the game does. Visitors who come for baseball may discover a place they want to visit again.\n\nMaybe they traveled to Dyersville because they grew up watching Field of Dreams with their dad. Maybe they came because their child is playing little league. Or maybe they just wanted to experience a piece of America they\u2019ve only seen on television.\n\nWhatever brings them here, we have the opportunity to show them what makes Iowa worth returning to.\n\nIt\u2019s about showcasing small-town America on one of sports\u2019 biggest stages. And it\u2019s about a game that still has the power to bring parents, kids, grandparents, and complete strangers together from every corner of the country right here in rural Iowa.\n\nMillions of people will tune in to see the Field of Dreams.\n\nAnd I think they\u2019ll come away seeing something even better: Iowa.", 1, "2026-08-14T06:13:05Z", "2026-08-14T06:14:08Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hinson.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-ashley-hinson-theyll-come-baseball-theyll-remember-iowa"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7086759433150291, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
