🚆 Getting to Yankee Stadium
Mass transit is the best way to Yankee Stadium: take the 4, B or D subway to 161 St-Yankee Stadium, directly across from Gate 4.
The 161 St-Yankee Stadium station is served by the 4 train on the Lexington Avenue line and the B and D trains on the Sixth Avenue line, with the B running weekdays only, and the station sits directly across from Gate 4. Metro-North's Yankees-E. 153rd Street station is on the Hudson Line, about a 10-minute walk away, with special Yankee Clipper trains on the Harlem and New Haven lines for weeknight and weekend games. The Bx1, Bx2, Bx6, Bx13 and BxM4 buses also stop at or near the stadium.
The stadium is accessible via the Major Deegan Expressway (I-87). Parking is operated by City Parking, not the Yankees, in garages and lots around the ballpark — the Yankees recommend the Ruppert Plaza Garage, the 161st Street Garage and the River Avenue Garage, and prepaid single-game parking comes from City Parking.
The designated rideshare pickup and drop-off zone is on Jerome Avenue and Anderson Avenue.
🛏️ Where to stay near Yankee Stadium
Most visiting fans base themselves in Manhattan and ride the subway or Metro-North in, because the stadium station drops you directly across from the gates.
- Midtown Manhattan — A direct ride to the park: the 4 train and the B and D trains run from Midtown to 161 St-Yankee Stadium, and Metro-North Yankee Clipper service runs from Grand Central to Yankees-E. 153rd Street. It is the most practical base for combining a game with the rest of a New York stay.
- Grand Concourse / South Bronx — The area immediately around the stadium on East 161st Street and River Avenue is a game-day hub of sports bars and souvenir shops, with the Bx1 and Bx2 buses stopping at East 161st Street and the Grand Concourse. Staying here puts you within a short walk of the gates.
🎟️ Game-day tips for Yankee Stadium
Get there when gates open and go straight to Monument Park — it closes well before first pitch.
- Monument Park closes early — Monument Park, beyond the center-field wall, honors Yankees legends with monuments, plaques and retired numbers. You can visit from when gates open until 45 minutes before the game starts, so make it your first stop.
- Don't miss the Yankees Museum and Great Hall — The New York Yankees Museum, inside Gate 6, displays historic artifacts including the famous Ball Wall, and the Great Hall is the stadium's grand entrance concourse. Babe Ruth Plaza, outside Gate 4, is the signature photo spot for the gold Yankee Stadium lettering.
- Use the right subway for your side of Manhattan — The 4 train serves the East Side via the Lexington Avenue line, while the B and D serve the Sixth Avenue line for the West Side. Both stop at the same 161 St-Yankee Stadium station, across from Gate 4.
Bags: Each guest may bring one soft-sided bag no larger than 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches, plus one smaller soft-sided personal item, and all hard-sided bags and containers are prohibited. Official policy.
