(NEWSER) – For sale: 193 acres of Iowa farmland, worth about $1 million but priced at $5.4 million. For the extra money, you get a world-famous baseball diamond that attracts some 65,000 annual visitors, and maybe a bunch of ghosts. That's right—it's the property from Field of Dreams. "It's not a decision that comes lightly," Becky Lansing, who owns the property with her husband, Don, tells the Dubuque Telegraph Herald.

The farm has been in the Lansing family for 104 years and gained the baseball field in 1988 when Universal was preparing to shoot the beloved 1989 movie. Under the terms of the sale, the new owners can do whatever they want with the property, but don't worry about Shoeless Joe emerging from the corn into a parking lot. "It's hard to imagine an owner wanting to do away with the field," Lansing

If you ever get a chance...it is def. worth the trip.

One of my best memories of growing up is playing catch with my dad on the Field of Dreams.  <beer>

Live 15 miles from there. It is still active. Still draws quite a few people. Dyersville has been able to ride that horse for a long time. The city has done a good job of promotion. The Ghost Players have somewhat disbanded however which was sad to see.

Yes it is worth the trip! We stopped by there a few years ago on a trip to purchase several bred heifers in Farley, Iowa. Still looks exactly like the movie.

Another article in the Dubuque TH newspaper. Still for sale $5.4 mil. but negotiable.

We visited several years ago when the kids were younger.  It is very nice, but I was disappointed due to the commercialization of the parking lot and the vendor stands.  I guess I'm kind of like Charlie Brown on this one-- "it has become all commercialized" (Charlie Brown Christmas).  I wish I could have seen it right after the movie crew was done and the vendor stands weren't there yet and it was just a nice ball field in a corn field. 
It is one of the things you want on the bucket list.
My sister's husband is from Dyersville and he remembers as a kid the movie producers asking everyone in Dyersville to get in their cars and trucks,etc to do that last scene wtih the lines of cars you can see for miles with their lights on at just about dark.  They went out and got in line too.
