Twins-Phillies Field of Dreams Game: Latest Updates On Weather And Expected Start Time
Earlier in the day, it looked like there was a very strong chance the game would be delayed or postponed due to thunderstorms. Luckily, it’s starting to look like the game will be played and start on time.
Meteorologist Kevin Roth wrote on X: “Pretty pleased with model trends in Dyersville Iowa for the Field of Dreams game. Heavy stuff likely holds well South, and I’m not expecting more than a few sprinkles over the ballpark. I lowered the risk level on the @PropFinderApp forecast.”
The tarp was on the field earlier in the day, but it’s now off.
MLB.com’s Paul Casella wrote on X: “There is no tarp on the field and the current plan is for Phillies and Twins to proceed with BP as planned. MLB will meet with the weather folks and both teams again around 6 o’clock ET for the latest update on tonight’s Field of Dreams Game.”
