Rare Up Close Look at The Sandlot (1993) Baseball Field Hidden in Utah Neighborhood & Squints Mural

[@donnytucker]

Such an iconic 90s movie. I wish the town and home owners would embrace the film and upkeep that lot.

[@joshua.snyder]

These are some of my favorite filming locations. Never get tired of seeing them, thanks Adam. When I went by I couldn't help but hop the fence and grab a few blades of grass for posterity.

[@jonjackson2029]

I think your videos have been a big help and comfort to those who could not travel the past couple of years due to various restrictions, mandates or just lack of funds. May God bless your work and may God give you protection in your travels.

[@gregorymotta6628]

Whenever I see Sandlot on the tube I have to stop and enjoy watching it. Truly a take me back in time movie. Makes me think back to my youth in the 60s playing baseball with our crew at our local playground which had several different ball fields. Seemed like life would last forever. Your making me wax nostalgic Adam for the good ole days.

[@adventuresintvland]

That’s so cool you made it so close to the field! The Sandlot is such a great movie. I had no idea the sandlot was actually just a field behind some houses

[@kellymoran8128]

Very nice and accurate coverage of the Glendale area of SLC and Utah. I grew up a block away from Glenrose Drive and Navajo Street and My Maternal Grandparents lived right on Glendale Drive and I literally "grew" up in that entire area. The Supermercado was a Safeway back in the 60s-80s and it just brought back so many memories. You have an awesome channel and I love how you cover the things that nobody else is or even thinks about covering. Stay safe in your travels and you will always have a friend here in SLC. PEACE!

[@keitholiver7856]

I never knew Sandlot was filmed in SLC. Just figured it was in LA somewhere. Interesting & enjoyable video Adam. Thank you.

[@greggseiter1412]

Adam, another great video of film history. Amazed how many movies came from Utah. Keep finding cool stuff like this. We’ll be watching !

[@timmywa]

Thanks Adam for your Utah coverage! I've lived here since 2005 and have loved it!! It's cool that there's a lot of movie and TV history here as well. Good job!

[@bendavis6550]

I still got the sand lot movies on dvd plus vhs collection sorry for any misspells or mistakes in spelling.

[@vibesandstuff76]

Nice! I live maybe 10 minutes away from that pharmacy. That area is old Midvale, so it isn't the busiest of areas, although I like the feel of old Midvale. That one building in disrepair was most recent, a Mexican restaurant, if I remember right. I'm not sure whether it was ever a bank, but it wouldn't surprise me. My brother's band played a few shows in that old theater back in the day. There's a pretty cool card shop in that area too! Really cool to see!

[@BrandonKalos]

Nice! Me too!

[@bakende1103]

That Mexican restaurant has amazing authentic food.

[@Ordell-L-Jackson]

True! I work in old Town Midvale & you're absolutely right!

BOOOOOORRRRRRRING

My boys loved The Sandlot. We had the movie and must have watched it 500 times back in the day. I had no idea the lot was in Utah. What a crazy neighborhood. Most of it looks pretty trashy and then you see green lawn and nice houses. It changes from one corner to the next. Thanks Adam. Good video. Ruff, ruff!

[@MyBackyardScience]

This is such a great classic movie! It's amazing that the field still exists! It would be fun to play a game there! 😀

[@zoommikerobinson3315]

As kids, we had our own version of a 'sandlot'. ...went back years later ... But, the past is a strange place. ...you go back and it doesn't recognize you.

[@rhondaz356]

I love this type of video.👏 Thanks a bunch for retracing, and revisiting those sites, Adam. great effort 👏👏🌟

[@TheDailyWoo]

No problem glad you enjoyed it

[@James_7]

Yeah The Sandlot is definitely a classic movie. Loved the Scarface reference , I always say the same when I see a pelican.

[@WStech92]

The Sandlot is my favorite movie. Thank you for showing us the filming locations!

[@steventurner9955]

Wow, the opening shot! looks like a supermarket we used to have here in Sedalia, MO. we call it the skateboard ramp roof!

[@nicolaswalker4562]

Hey Adam. Have been enjoying your coverage of Utah. It’s great to see all the places you go to here as I live in Salt Lake by the Fairgrounds. Love the Sandlot coverage. I grew up in American Fork where you did the Footloose spots and lived right up the street from the church. I was 12 when they filmed Sandlot and the carnival scenes were right down the street from the church and we went down to see if we could be extras when they were filming. They kept us there awhile but then told us they had enough people. That building on the corner in Midvale was a bank way back in the day and then a Mexican restaurant. And they still had the huge bank safe when I ate there once at the restaurant. Thanks for keeping me entertained with the Vlog. Great Job.

[@Alveyjr21]

Since you are into baseball movie locations Adam, (I've seen your Field of Dreams and both Sandlot vids) you should come to Huntingburg Indiana.They still have the stadium used in A Leage of Their Own and it's all decorated up like the movie.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I need to get there one day

[@Alveyjr21]

@@TheDailyWoo It's about 30 mins from Santa Claus Indiana. There's a theme park named Holiday World there and the town is Christmas themed year round. Definitely worth coming to the area to visit sometime!

[@jeffpierce3644]

Hoping someday when you’re here, you’ll check out the Topaz Japanese Internment camp in Delta, UT…or what’s left of it. Quite a few relics left of the buildings, the old stoves, pottery, landscaping, etc…

[@DMBabyGurlAdventures]

We have a fully autographed dvd of The Sandlot movie at a special event many years ago! My son still has it. ❤

So crazy to see the Sandlot man!! Thank you for hitting that for us, all those bunnies are so cute...great shots!!

Finally Adam, a great video. I hope to see more like this. Thank you. And I did love the movie Sandlot

One of my favorite movies as a child, had no idea it is filmed in Utah. Hey Adam while you're in Utah considering spending a night at Skinwalker Ranch homestead #2.

Adam Sandlot was a great move and it was amazing the first time you documented it and once again you have done the movie justice by doing another fantastic job documenting it now I can say I have two time you documented it under my belt also can’t forget the movie the Sandlot 2 which I also liked thanks again Adam I enjoyed every minute of this video now with that being said peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure wherever it takes you peace ☮️ out ✌️

HEY ATW...SORRY I'M LATE, BUT I WAS WAITING TO SEE IF ANYONE got your opening movie quote and no one did! "THIS IS MY GRACELAND!!" from ACE VENTURA PET DETECTIVE! Classic Carrey, Classic Woo! "Can you feel it!?!!Huh,huh,huh!" I love THE SANDLOT. I feel like a kid again everytime I watch it. Any movie with James Earl Jones in it is always enjoyable. Who would've thought The Sandlot was filmed in SLC!?!! I can't believe you are going home through another EPIC STORM! We prayed for you today during New Year celebrations. See you tomorrow.

[@mgratk]

Adam, some day could you do a top 10 or top 20 list of your favorite movies? Might be great content for a travel off day. You introduced me to 3 O'clock High, which I love.

When I was a little kid, I used to go get free lunch at my elementary school during the summer. And one year they were filming the opening baseball scene in the field of my elementary school, which you can see in some shots. It was cool to watch.

Vincent Drug is so prominent in SLC locations. Halloween 4, The Sandlot, and The Stand.

Ok. Just rewatched the movie. They definitely need to bring Vincent's store back to OG. 1950's & 80's. The best Years in the USA!!!! Thx Adam for the history. 👍👍

[@MK-xs5mf]

Don't know if someone already made you aware that the downtown Midvale area was also used in the filming of 1994's Stephen King's The Stand. I grew up in Midvale and watched them film portions of both films. Great video btw. Love your Salt lake stuff. Are you going to see any Hereditary locations? Maybe West High?

Adam I have the 1993 movie on DVD I was in highschool when this movie was in theaters lol I got my copy at Good will store second hand. The movie now is a cult classic. Thanks for sharing.👍👍😎📸

[@bakende1103]

Yeah, I grew up near there too. I used to play basketball in the place they used as a theater when he was being chased by the dog. Glendale is a rather dangerous neighborhood...maybe that's why all the dogs and fences. In downtown Midvale, there is (I hope it's still around) the best authentic Mexican food around called La Fondita. Also, there is a park in Rose Park neighborhood called Riverside Park, where they used the baseball fields to play a bunch of rival kids.

@DanielCrawford It was in "The Stand"? Which one - the original, with Gary Sinese and Rob Lowe and Molly Ringwald ("M-o-o-n, that spells Mother Abigail, laws yes") or the remake? Do you know whereabouts in the movie the sandlot appears? Thanks!
