UNDATED (WHDH) -- Iowa's “Field of Dreams” - the movie site which became one of America’s best known baseball fields, was sold.

Investors group, Go the Distance Baseball, LLC, which includes Hall of Famer Wade Boggs, said it closed on the purchase last week after reaching a deal with owners.

The final selling price was $3.4 million plus interest.
