Which family formerly owned the left- and center-field property of the 2026 MLB at Field of Dreams ballpark?

The Ameskamp family formerly owned the left- and center-field property of the 2026 MLB at Field of Dreams ballpark.

The new ballpark was built on property connected to the Ameskamp family, who had owned the left- and center-field portion of the broader Field of Dreams land. The rest of the relevant property had been owned by the Lansing family.

The Ameskamps sold their portion to the Lansing family in 2007. This ownership history helps explain why the modern MLB facility could be placed near the movie set while remaining a separate playing venue.

The family names are easy to confuse because both the Ameskamp and Lansing families are part of the site’s property history. Neither family should be confused with the Twins’ Pohlad ownership group or with baseball families such as the Griffeys.
