Rickwood Field in Birmingham is the nation's oldest baseball stadium. The City of Birmingham is spending big to make sure that Rickwood Field, built in 1910 and America’s oldest surviving ballpark, is ready again for professional baseball next year.
The “Field of Dreams” game has been held in an Iowa corn field at the filming location of the 1989 “Field of Dreams” movie starring Kevin Costner. Universal Pictures built the baseball field in 1988 outside of Dyersville, Iowa. When the movie finished filming, the field remained and became a tourist attraction.
On Tuesday, the Birmingham City Council approved a contract for $553,477 with Trawick Contractors Inc. for renovations at Rickwood Field, 1137 Second Ave. West. The city had already allocated an additional $2 million in its 2024 fiscal budget for Rickwood Field upgrades.
