Getting to Yankee Stadium
New York Yankees · Bronx, NY
Yankee Stadium's own guidance opens by saying mass transit is the best way to get there, and the station is named for the ballpark: 161st Street/Yankee Stadium, served by the 4 and the D, with the B added on weekdays only. Driving comes down to two exits off the Major Deegan.
Tips & Fan Reports
The B train also serves it but only on weekdays; do not plan a weekend trip around it.
Type the address, One East 161st Street, into your GPS rather than the stadium name.
Driving comes down to two Major Deegan exits: Exit 5 from either direction, or Exit 4 northbound.
Metro-North runs to the stadium from across its whole territory, which suits arrivals from Westchester and Connecticut.
The subway station is named for the stadium — 161st Street/Yankee Stadium, on the 4 and the D.
Ways In
- Driving
- The stadium is at One East 161st Street in the Bronx, reached from the Major Deegan Expressway (Interstate 87). Northbound on I-87, use Exit 4 for East 149th Street and the 145th Street Bridge, or Exit 5 for East 161st Street and the Macombs Dam Bridge. Southbound, use Exit 5. The Yankees suggest entering One East 161st Street into a GPS rather than the stadium name.
- Public Transit
- The No. 4 train on the East Side and the D train on Sixth Avenue both stop at 161st Street/Yankee Stadium, on East 161st Street and River Avenue. B train service on Sixth Avenue also runs, but only on weekdays. Metro-North offers train service to the stadium from anywhere in its territory.
- Rideshare
- Uber/Lyft drop-off is on East 161st Street near Gate 6. Post-game pickup is chaotic. Walk a few blocks south on River Avenue or east on 161st for faster service and lower surge pricing. Expect 20-40 minutes from Midtown depending on traffic.

- Transit
MTA subway and local bus: "The fare is $3 for most riders", weekly cap $35. Commuter rail inside the city is the CityTicket, and MTA states it plainly: "For travel on one railroad within New York City without changing directions, a one-way CityTicket costs $5.25 for off-peak trains and $7.25 for peak trains." Games are evenings and weekends, so off-peak $5.25 is the game-day fare. Yankee Stadium is in the Bronx and the Yankee Clipper runs Metro-North between the Bronx and Manhattan, which is exactly what CityTicket covers. The stored $8 is neither the off-peak nor the peak figure
