The Ballpark at Harbor Yard is a 5,300-seat baseball-only stadium in Bridgeport, Connecticut that opened in 1998 with a loss to the Aberdeen Arsenal. The stadium is the home of the Bridgeport Bluefish baseball team. The Ballpark at Harbor Yard is located next to the Arena at Harbor Yard. It was named "Harbor Yard" as a subliminal reference to the Baltimore Orioles' ballpark, Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
The Bridgeport Barrage of Major League Lacrosse used the stadium as their home field from 2001 to 2003. The Barrage relocated to Philadelphia after the 2003 season. The MLL held their first All Star Game at the Ballpark in 2001.
The ballpark hosted the 2006 Atlantic League All-Star Game on July 12.
