MLB AT FIELD OF DREAMS
Dyersville, Iowa
Video Type: Sizzle Reel | Duration: ~0:56
In the middle of an Iowa cornfield, BaAM brought this magical MLB event to life. A timelapse shows the progression of construction over time with a temporary ballpark rising from rows of corn. The video then follows in the footsteps of fans as they walk the paths through towering cornfields or play catch on the original Field of Dreams diamond ahead of the big game. Finally, a packed stadium glows under stadium lights with a pink sunset stretching across the Iowa horizon -- a scene that drew praise from in-person and broadcast audiences alike. BaAM transformed the movie set into a marquee live event, delivering an unforgettable event atmosphere.
