About the Venue

Harbor Park, with its outstanding view and sound design, is one of the finest Minor League Baseball stadiums in the country. The ballpark is located in downtown Norfolk on the Elizabeth River, and was opened in 1993.

Harbor Park features almost 9,000 lower deck seats, 2,800 upper deck seats, and 400 seats in 24 luxury skyboxes leased to area corporations. The park also features a 225-seat restaurant known as "Hits at the Park" which offers a full view of the playing field. Overlooking left field is a 500-person tiered picnic area. The playing surface is Natural Grass, and the dimensions are 333 ft. in LF, 410 ft. in CF, and 318 ft in RF.

The facility is owned by the City of Norfolk. Its construction was financed by rent paid by the Tides and other revenue from non-baseball events held in the facility. Harbor Park was selected by Baseball America as the finest minor league facility in the country in 1995.
