Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater Seating Chart
Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater is a covered outdoor concert venue at 500 Broad Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut, along Long Island Sound. It opened on July 28, 2021, with REO Speedwagon and Styx, on the site of the old Bridgeport Bluefish baseball stadium. A tensile roof of fiberglass and Teflon shelters about 92 percent of the audience, and the venue calls itself a 5,700-plus-seat boutique amphitheater.
