If you build it, they will come — including Tim McGraw.

The country superstar is holding a special one-night concert at the "Field of Dreams" movie site in Dyersville on Aug. 30, according to a news release from StubHub.

Why it matters: The rural tourist attraction has grown into more than just a movie site ever since Iowa hosted its first-ever MLB game between the White Sox and Yankees in 2021.

Private developers and municipalities have invested millions into the site to capitalize on its rural and nostalgic charm, including plans to build a boutique hotel.

Zoom in: Tickets on StubHub, the official ticket seller for the event, range from $99 for general admission to $500 for "Home Run VIP" amenities like a private bar and free merchandise.

Concertgoers will also get to walk around the movie site (so expect lots of cornstalk selfies).

The intrigue: Aug. 30 is the birthday of McGraw's late father, MLB player Tug McGraw, making this an "especially meaningful event," according to StubHub's news release.

Details: Tickets go on pre-sale on Jan. 20 at 9am Central Time with an early bird price of $70.

To get pre-sale tickets, create a StubHub account and "favorite" the Tim McGraw page by clicking the heart icon by the end of the day Jan. 19.
General tickets go on sale Jan. 24.
