(Audacy) More unique MLB experiences could be on the horizon.
Coming off the success of the exciting Field of Dreams game between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox in August, MLB is planning to use more nontraditional types of venues for games in the future, commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday.
Manfred made the comments while speaking at a summit held by Sports Business Journal, adding that the league plans to “go to locales where they don’t ordinarily play Major League Baseball.”
The Field of Dreams game is already set to return in 2022, when the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds will meet in Dyersville, Iowa.
The 2021 Field of Dreams game drew nearly six million viewers, making it the most-watched regular-season game since 2005.
In fact, it was so successful that it has even drawn inspiration for the NBA to try a similar event in its future too.
