I love the field of dreams!! My son has played there, and all I could think of while we had games there was how awesome it was! A beautiful field in the country for kids to play and have a great time. I felt like it was an honor for them to have let us play there, The effort and thought that went into that field was amazing. Just beautiful. I’m not sure how someone would want to end such an awesome thing. I truly hope they don’t succeed in taking away this amazing experience for other kids especially at a time where things are already hard enough on our kids with Covid. A large piece of happiness in a very difficult time.

I love yall. Keep the kids playing and happy!! It's too depressing for them right now and it's a terrible idea to take more happy things out of their life!

I will pray for that one neighbor who probably enjoyed playing outside as a child but chooses during a pandemic to take one of the only outdoor activities kids can enjoy away.

This is more than baseball, its children's stepping stones to bigger things in college and beyond. Dont take away these children's dreams especially in this crazy world right now. Kids NEED baseball. If the biggest problem is kids laughing and making noise I would say the Howells are doing a great job at what they do!

Children should always be able to enjoy the outside . Playing baseball isn’t hurting anyone.

This is absolutely crazy. This a wonderful place for the youth to enjoy a wonderful sport. They also have developed friendships and life skills. The Howell family have been soo generous to allow a field to be in the their back yard is truly a testimonial to the dedication they have for this wonderful sport for the children. I live just down the street and have never been bothered by the events and activities of this wonderful baseball field. How thoughtful and kind for a family to allow their backyard to be used for the development of our youth. Children need to run, play and be part of sport activities. I truly hope and pray that this man can have a better understanding of the benefits that the baseball field has provided to the youth and the community. I pray that he will realize his accusations of noise and disturbance is rubbish. He just may have been having a bad day. He needs to apologize for attempting to destroy the beauty for all the children.
