The MLB struck gold in August with their “Field of Dreams”-style game between the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees. With a wonderful setting ripped straight from the movie screen, the two teams made it as memorable a night as any in recent baseball history with an instant classic game.
The NHL has long had a tradition of outdoor games, often playing contests in bigger baseball stadiums during the winter. The NBA, looking to replicate the MLB’s success, is reportedly exploring the idea of a “Field of Dreams” style game. The league has flirted with the idea of outdoor games before, playing preseason games at Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California to mixed levels of success.
