Inscription. Denise came to Dyersville, Iowa in 2012 with an ambitious dream to expand and preserve the famous "Field of Dreams" movie site by creating a youth sports tournament complex - All-Star Ballpark Heaven. By doing this, she would help to preserve a place that speaks to the good in this world and a place for families to share and connect with each other in a special way.

Denise spent many of her days devoting love and attention to this farm and Field as it was her wish for all that visited that they may share the special feelings that many experience while standing on this sacred piece of baseball history. She adored sharing priceless memories of The Field with visitors from around the world. Denise's vision for giving back to the youth of the world, and her love for this amazing American baseball destination will live on for years to come.

So, as you play on this field hear Denise's words: "Reach for your dreams, no matter what they may be. Be true to yourself. And dare to make a difference in this world."
