    The logical would be to do what others suggest... drive to the stadium, park there (or in Manhattan) and then deal with the traffic getting out.

    If you want to do the Park-Ride thing, you might be best coming into NJ via the Lincoln Tunnel and finding a bus stop in Secaucus off Route 3, catch the bus to the Secaucus Train Station and take the train one stop into Penn Station in Manhattan. Then its a subway ride up to the stadium (take the 1 to 59th Street and then switch to the D)
    For the bus schedule, look here: http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/bus/T1124.pdf


    Or if you want to do the insane you could drive to Hamilton,NJ (about an hour north of Philly, an hour-15/hour-and-a-half south of NYC), spend $5 to park at the train station, another $21 on the NJ Transit roundtrip ticket and train up to the city, then catch the subway up to the stadium.
    Then make a trip from Philly up to Trenton the next night and catch the Yankees' AA farm team, the Trenton Thunder in action.

    Take a limo, and go to Boom's favorite place to pick up women:

    Firefox eliminates the Red X in favor of a blank white space.

    I thought you were suggesting Boom picks his women up chasing seal hunters in the Great White North, and in this instance, he was stuck in a whiteout.

    I would not park in Jersey - You can park by stadium but with construction of new stadium parking has gotten a little tight so you need to get there early. For Day game you'll be leaving stadium at rush hour so it takes a while.

    Other option would be to park in Manhattan - suggest Holiday Inn Lot on 57th between 10th and 11 th ave. $10 for the day. You can get on 57th right off west side hghy .

    Then walk over to Columbus Circle 59th and 7th and take B or D train to stadium- 20-25 minutes

    Fucking A. That's reasonable. What are the chances of the lot filling up?

    There's always a first but I've never had a problem. Worst case there are plenty of garages in that area - albiet more expensive.

    That's actually a much better plan that parking in NJ. Relatively close to a subway that is a quick straight shot. May even be closer to 15 minutes if you catch the train immediately. Whole plan is good except Stan's. I hear only cheap women hang out in there.

    My first trip to Yankee Stadium and the closest I'll ever be to Suzyn Waldman. I'm glad my kids will be with me for the greatest day of my life.
