Harbor Yard, home of the Bridgeport Bluefish, was the first new, fully completed ballpark in the Atlantic League’s first year of play. Built in 1997-98 with 5,500 seats, the State of Connecticut and City of Bridgeport each contributed $8 million to Harbor Yard’s $19 million cost. The remaining $3 million was contributed by the original Bluefish ownership group. El Nino contributed a very mild winter so the Bluefish could open on schedule and on budget.
The Bluefish have reached the postseason in seven of their 14 seasons of Atlantic League play. In October 2008, it was announced that Atlantic League CEO Frank Boulton had purchased the Bluefish from their former ownership group and taken over day-to-day operations of the club.
