On my visit (during my honeymoon 9 years ago) I was surprised to discover that ownership of the actual field was split between two neighboring farms. The owner of Left and Center field had actually replanted corn after the movie shoot was done and the owner of the rest of the field left it as it was. Only after getting many complaints for replanting the corn, did the owner of left and center field plow the corn again and leave it as it is today. Of course, this gave the owner of the rest of the field a marketing edge as he was authentic to the movie. Now, there are two competing gift-shops on either side of the field; one for "the field of dreams" and one for "the left and center field of dreams."
