On May 20, the Field of Dreams officials announced that the press box at the site's new ballpark in Dyersville, Iowa, will be named in honor of Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball radio voice Gary Dolphin. According to the Des Moines Register , the press box will be named in recognition of Dolphin’s decades of contributions to Iowa athletics, broadcasting, and communities across the state.

The Field of Dreams represents the very best of our state, and honoring Gary there just feels right. ” The new Field of Dreams ballpark is a centerpiece of the “Bring It Home” campaign led by Dyersville Events, Inc. , the nonprofit organization responsible for the recent renovation and expansion of the 297-acre Field of Dreams site.
