The mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut announced that the Bridgeport Bluefish stadium will be renovated at the end of the year into a concert facility effectively eliminating the baseball stadium. The Bluefish are a part of the Atlantic League but their stadium serves as a home field for Division 1 Sacred Heart and D-2 Bridgeport University.

Developer Howard Saffan on Monday night revealed — and the mayor’s office later confirmed — that his and concert promoter Live Nation’s competing proposal to turn the 20-year-old Harbor Yard ballpark into a warm-weather amphitheater was selected by City Hall over a new contract with the Bluefish.

Saffan contacted Hearst Connecticut Media soon after Hearst published an online story earlier Monday suggesting Ganim had chosen the amphitheater over baseball.

“This is going to be a great project for the city,” Saffan said in a brief phone interview.
