DYERSVILLE, Iowa – Thursday’s Field of Dreams game between the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs was the most-watched game of the regular season, but it wasn’t as much of a hit out of the park as last year.
FOX’s broadcast averaged 3.13 million viewers, according to a press release from Fox Sports, which topped all broadcasts on any network. Viewership peaked with 3.46 million viewers an hour into the game, which the Reds lost, 4-2.
Still, it was nowhere close to last year’s Field of Dreams game, which drew 5.9 million viewers to watch the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox.
