Yankee Stadium

Yankee Stadium is easily accessible from anywhere in the city. Using public transit is highly recommended due to heavy Bronx traffic and expensive parking.

• Driving & Parking
  The stadium is accessible via the Major Deegan Expressway (I-87). Official parking is operated by City Parking with four main self park garages directly next to the stadium. These garages are 161st Street, Gerard Ave, River Ave, and the Ruppert Plaza Garage on Macombs Dam Park. There are additional lots along the Harlem River and south of Heritage Park.
• Public Transit
  • Subway
    The 161 St-Yankee Stadium station is served by the 4 train (East Side/Lexington Avenue line) and the B and D trains (Sixth Avenue line). The subway station is located directly across from Gate 4.
  • Metro-North
    The Yankees–E. 153rd St. Station is on the Hudson line. Special Yankee Clipper trains run on the Harlem and New Haven lines on weeknight and weekend games. Note these trains do not run for day games during the week. It is a roughly 10-minute walk from the stadium and is a popular option for fans coming from Westchester, Connecticut, or Upper Manhattan.
  • Long Island Rail Road
    Take the train to Grand Central, then ride Metro-North to Yankees-E 153rd Street or the 4 to 161 St-Yankee Stadium
  • Bus
    The Bx1, Bx2, Bx6, Bx13, and BxM4 buses stop at or near the stadium.
• Rideshare
  The designated pickup/drop-off zone is on Jerome Avenue and Anderson Avenue, though securing a ride after the game can be difficult.

The area surrounding the stadium is a bustling urban hub characterized by sports bars, souvenir shops, and local Bronx culture.

• References to Old Yankee Stadium
  The exterior of the stadium is made of 11,000 blocks of Indiana limestone, designed to perfectly replicate the look of the 1923 original facade. The YANKEE STADIUM text above the gates is V-cut and leafed in gold, just like the original.
  • Indiana Limestone Facade
    The exterior of the stadium is made of 11,000 blocks of Indiana limestone, designed to perfectly replicate the look of the 1923 original facade. The YANKEE STADIUM text above the gates is V-cut and leafed in gold, just like the original.
  • The Frieze
    The iconic white lattice-work (the frieze) that rings the top of the stadium is a zinc-coated steel replica. It is placed atop the roof, which was its original 1923 location. In the renovated stadium (1976–2008), it had been moved to the top of the outfield walls.
  • The Subway Cut Out
    In the Great Hall and behind the bleachers, the stadium wall is intentionally cut out to provide a clear view of the elevated 4 Train as it passes by. This is a deliberate tribute to the original stadium's design, where the sight of the passing subway was a signature part of the game-day atmosphere.
• Monument Park

• Hands-on History
  Fans can occasionally participate in programs to hold game-used bats or jerseys (check schedule).
