Located on Bridgeport's Long Island Sound waterfront, Harbor Yard was encircled by Interstate 95 and the Northeast Corridor rail line.

The site had navigable ingress and egress routes to northern Fairfield County and the Naugatuck River Valley via the 8/25 connector.

The demolition of the Pequonnock apartment buildings in 2002 improved the parking situation for fans attending games at the Ballpark.

The Ballpark and Total Mortgage Arena are credited for revitalizing the city into a prosperous waterfront attraction and destination.
