Holy hell. Just bought my tickets. $371 for each ticket. This game is going to put a dent in my card purchase fund. Saw tickets next to mine on StubHub already selling for HUGE money. I showed the wifey, not happy about my purchase, and now she doesn't want to go to the game with me. 😂. She wants me to sell her ticket so she can take a weekend for herself. Might just take her up and enjoy the game myself. 😁

Regardless, I will be at the game. I will post pictures of this historic game and am excited to share my experience with you all.

Cheers Craig

I would be highly tempted to do just that.

9 years ago, I got tickets for the Alabama vs Michigan Cowboys Classic football game in Dallas. I bought 2, one for me and one for a friend. Paid $175 for the tickets. Saw similar ones selling right after that for $1600. Made me wish I'd bought more than 2

That's awesome man! A couple questions for you:

1. Are you able to walk around the field at all and if so, would you walk into the corn stalks?

2. How many seats are there? Seeing images of the field, it doesn't look like very many.

3. Not a question: TAKE PICTURES FOR US PLEASE!

Congrats Craig !!

I entered as did my wife. I received a note yesterday that I didn't win, wife strangely didn't get a response.

Enjoy it!

Joe, If my wifey didn't want to go, you'd be my next choice.

I'm going to pick up a few extra programs in case any collectors here want one.

I think that I heard that the new "stadium" is not on the location of the original movie field, but is built adjacent to it.

That's correct. The original movie field is still in use and was used for a youth game on Wednesday.

The "new" stadium is next to that. It has a capacity of 8000 and is still nestled right up against the corn field.

The Outfield or Bleachers I should say looks cool, but that big GEICO & MLB sign behind home, they really know how to wreck a good thing all for a few more bucks.
