MNRR news release, 4/24:

 

 
Take Metro-North Railroad to Yankees vs. Mets This Weekend
 

It isn’t just a “Subway Series” anymore when you can enjoy a hassle-free ride on Metro-North Railroad to watch the Yankees take on the Mets at The Stadium Friday, April 24, Saturday April 25 and Sunday, April 26.

 

Whether you plan to cheer on the Bronx Bombers or root for the Amazins’, Metro-North once again has your “Yankee Clipper” service on the Hudson, Harlem and New Haven Lines, and frequent shuttle service before, during and after the game from Grand Central Terminal and Harlem-125th Street.

 

While Metro-North serves the Yankees-E. 153rd Street Station 365 days a year with local Bronx service on the Hudson Line, the railroad offers extra service on all three of its east of Hudson Lines for game days. All weekend and weeknight games are served by special Yankee Clipper trains that offer direct service to the stadium from as far away as Poughkeepsie, Southeast, and New Haven. Schedules are tailored to provide service before, during and after the game, from well before the first pitch to well after the last out.

 

In addition, Metro-North operates shuttle trains between Grand Central, Harlem-125th Street, and Yankees-E. 153rd Street stations before, during and after all games. The shuttle trains ensure service every 15-20 minutes on average, beginning two hours before the game starts and ending two hours after it concludes.

 

For those heading to the game with the family, kids aged 5 to 11 ride for just $1 to any game. And, commuters who hold monthly or weekly tickets to Grand Central or Harlem-125th Street can use those tickets to reach the stadium at no additional charge.

 

Alcoholic beverages may be consumed on the train, but open containers are not allowed on station platforms at Yankees-E.153rd Street and must be discarded.

 

Many Trains To and From Every Game

Fans have lots of train choices for each game. For details about game-day schedules, pick up a special Yankees-153rd Street Station Game Day timetable, available online and at Grand Central Terminal and outlying stations. Or visit www.mta.info/mnr and get train times using our interactive schedules page. Schedules for game day trains are also available on the Metro-North Train Time ™ app for iPhone and Android and via web through the Metro-North Train Time page. Go to the Yankees website to check out the 2015 season schedule and to see a list of prohibited items in the stadium

 

Hudson Line

  • Metro-North will provide direct service to and from all home games from all stations both north and south of Croton-Harmon via regularly scheduled trains.
  • To all weekend games, Metro-North offers a Yankee Clipper special from select stations that are timed to let fans get to the stadium at least 45 minutes before the first pitch.
  • From all games, Metro-North offers a Yankee Clipper special to select stations that is timed to depart 20-45 minutes after the last out. (After weekday 1 p.m. games, the Clipper departs at 4:26 p.m., whether the game is over or not.)

Harlem Line & New Haven Line

  • Metro-North will provide special Yankee Clipper direct trains to and from all weeknight and weekend games. These trains are timed to arrive at the stadium at least 45 minutes before the first pitch, and depart 20-45 minutes after the last out.
  • As an alternative, or to reach weekday afternoon games, fans can take regularly scheduled trains and change at Harlem-125th Street for a short shuttle train ride to the stadium.

Grand Central Terminal & Harlem-125th Street

  • Metro-North will provide frequent shuttle service to, from and during all games. Click here for weekday/weekend schedule.

A One-Ticket Ride for All Trips

All trips to or from the stadium on any line can be made with just one ticket, whether you ride a direct train or change trains at Harlem-125th Street. Be sure to keep your ticket with you as you’ll be asked for it by ticket collectors at the Yankees-E. 153rd Street Station.

 

Fans should buy round-trip or one-way tickets to Yankees–E. 153rd St. before boarding for the best price. Tickets from all Hudson Line stations (except Grand Central Terminal and Harlem-125th Street) are the less expensive “intermediate” tickets that are valid at all times. All tickets from Harlem Line and New Haven Line stations are off-peak, except for trips returning from weekday afternoon games. For customers starting their trips at Grand Central, trips to weeknight games are peak, and others are off-peak.
