2017 is apparently the last season for Bridgeport, Connecticut’s baseball team, the Bluefish. The city announced it’s converting their home park, called the Ballpark at Harbor Yard, into a concert venue.
The Bluefish have played in Bridgeport for 20 years. They’re the winning-est team in the Atlantic League, which is an independent baseball league – not major or minor.
In fact, they’re currently leading in their division. But Bluefish owner Frank Boulton certainly made it sound like this is the end of the Bluefish in a statement saying he was proud of the team’s 20-year run.
The city says it’s redeveloping Harbor Yard as an amphitheater and working with Live Nation, a global concert booking company that puts on shows by acts like Jay-Z and U2. The project’s developer says the amphitheater will open in 2019 and will host 29 concerts a year.
