The Tides are the International League AAA farm team for the Baltimore Orioles. Harbor Park opened on April 14, 1993 and seats 12,067 people. Seating includes 9,000 lower deck seats, 2,800 upper deck seats and a 300 person capacity picnic area. The stadium also features 24 luxury skyboxes with seating for 400, and a 225 seat full-service restaurant with a panoramic view of the field from the first base side. A record crowd of 14,263 was reached August 31, 1996.The field is made of natural grass and features a state of the art irrigation and drainage system. The dimensions are 333 feet in left field, 410 feet in center field and 338 feet in right field.
During Major League Baseball’s search for a new home for the Montreal Expos, Norfolk submitted a proposal which would have expanded Harbor Park to temporarily accommodate a major league team. Norfolk’s bid was rejected and the Expos eventually became the Washington Nationals.
