Getting to Yankee Stadium

Parking is now $35 for the garages at Yankee Stadium.

You might just as well take the train. Taking gas into account, it may be the same amount of money.

 

Rainouts in New York on Tuesday. I was going to go to the Mets game, but will shoot for the Yankees-Rangers on Saturday.

 

Finally made my trip to Yankee Stadium for the Yankees-Rockies game today with my boys. I had to make a little detour to print out my tickets because the ink in my printer finally went dry today. I took NJ Transit from Dover to Penn Station, took the A and transferred to the D train at 59th Street. My youngest son was wearing his Rockies cap and I talked with several locals and Coloradans. Besides the dealing with the subway for the first time, getting to the Stadium isn't much of a chore. A lot less stress riding the train than dealing with traffic.

 

Get the No. 4 train from Grand Central or the No. 7, a regional train with fewer stops.
Either way, the signs for those northbound trains are labeled "Yankees" and they go straight to the stadium.
Family and I did it on a trip up there for some day baseball a month or so ago and it couldn't have been easier or safer.

 

Only drag is that too many of those trains wind up being essentially sardine cans. Off a ten-minute
wait on a steaming underground platform, it ain't pretty. But cheap, it is. You pays your money . . .
