This tennis field sounds like a story reminiscent of Kevin Costner's Field of Dreams.
Mark Kuhn has always had a fixation on the fabulous sport of tennis.
He loves tennis so much, in fact, he built a replica of the Wimbledon tennis arena on his farm in Charles City, Iowa.
The center court replica, which has fondly been called the All Iowa Lawn Tennis Club, attracts travelers from all over the country. Kuhn says that he has had amateur and professional tennis players visit from 42 different U.S. states.
Kuhn doesn't charge any money for the visiting players, but visitors are required to have a reservation if they want to use the court.
When this young traveler was unable to pay for her carry-on bag, the clerk told her that she was going to miss her flight – and then an "angel" stepped in to help.
Since the free soccer field is on top of the station, it makes the sport more accessible to low-income residents who can't afford to drive a car or pay field fees.
Despite a busy schedule with the NFL, this 27-year-old player was more than happy to return home so he could take a girl with Down syndrome to her high school prom.
