Getting Around

Yankee Stadium is well served by transit. The subway's 4, B, and D trains stop at 161st Street–Yankee Stadium, and Metro-North's Yankees–E. 153rd Street station sits beside the park on game days. Transit is generally the easiest way in from Manhattan and the suburbs.

Parking

Several parking garages surround the stadium, but they fill and can be costly on game days. With frequent subway and Metro-North service, most fans skip driving; if you do drive, arrive early and consider pre-booking.

Best Seats & Views

Field-level seats along the infield put you close to the action, while the upper deck offers sweeping views of the field and the Bronx. The bleachers are affordable and home to the passionate 'Bleacher Creatures.'

Where to Stay

Many visitors stay in Manhattan and ride the subway or Metro-North up to the Bronx in minutes, which opens up the full range of New York hotels. There are also options closer to the stadium. Compare dates, as New York pricing varies widely.

Nearby Attractions

Inside, Monument Park honors Yankees legends. Nearby, the Bronx offers the Bronx Museum and easy transit connections, and Manhattan's attractions are a short subway ride away.

Ballpark History

The current Yankee Stadium opened in 2009, next to the site of the original 'House That Ruth Built.' It carries forward the most decorated history in American sports, and Monument Park honors the franchise's legends and retired numbers.

Fan Tips

Arrive early to visit Monument Park beyond the outfield (it closes before first pitch). Roll call from the Bleacher Creatures in the first inning is a signature Yankee Stadium tradition worth catching.

Accessibility

Yankee Stadium is a modern park with accessible seating throughout, accessible entrances and restrooms, and guest services to assist. Accessible seating is available at multiple price levels across the stadium.

Neighborhood

The stadium anchors the South Bronx around 161st Street, with pregame spots nearby and excellent transit. Manhattan is only a short subway or Metro-North ride away, so many fans combine a game with a day in the city.
