Several Metro-North Hudson Line trains will make an extra stop at Yankee Stadium for the Yanks’ Thursday, March 27, season home opener, scheduled to start at 3:05 p.m.
The 2024 American League champions open the season in the Bronx against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Metro-North Hudson Line trains will stop at the Yankees-E. 153 St. station, across from the stadium, and several Hudson Line trains will make an extra stop there, a Metropolitan Transportation Authority news release said.
Metro-North is also running shuttle trains between Grand Central Terminal, Harlem-125 St. and Yankees-E 153 St stations. Fans using Harlem and New Haven lines can transfer at Harlem-125th St. station for what the MTA said is a quick trip to the stadium.
For all evening, weekend and holiday games, Metro-North’s Yankee Clipper “Trains to the Game” will provide a one-seat ride directly to the stadium and then home on the Harlem and New Haven lines.
Metro-North also runs shuttle trains between Grand Central Terminal, Harlem-125th Street, and Yankees-E 153rd Street stations for fans transferring at Grand Central from the Long Island Railroad or who are transferring at Harlem-125th St. station from Harlem and New Haven lines.
Riders can take the B, D or 4 train to 161th St.-Yankee Stadium station, according to the MTA. The station is in front of the stadium, at the corner of 161st St. and River Ave.
Local D and 4 trains stop there at all times. B trains stop there during rush hour only. Middays, every other B train will stop at 161th St.-Yankee Stadium.
Rush-hour D express trains will also stop at there before weeknight games.

The New York Transit Museum’s Opening Day nostalgia train will, for one day only, provide rides aboard a 1917 IRT Lo-V as well as on the Train of Many Colors, the MTA release said.
The IRT Lo-V Nostalgia Train is scheduled to leave the Uptown 4 platform at Grand Central-42nd St. at about noon and goes non-stop on the Lexington Avenue Line and at the stadium. After that, the Train of Many Colors will arrive to take more riders to the stadium.
the IRT Lo-V began service in 1917. The vintage train cars and hundreds of other similar cars served subway customers a few years before the first pitch was thrown at the original Yankee Stadium. It has rattan seats, ceiling fans, drop-sash windows and “hearkens back to an earlier age of subway travel and provides a photogenic counterpoint to the new home of the New York Yankees,” the release said.
The Train of Many Colors includes cars made in the 1960s: the R-33, R-33WF and R-36 cars. The train cars are a mix of colors: “tartar red” and “gunn red,” blue-and-silver "platinum mist" and the robin's egg blue and cream “bluebird. The cars are of several New York City subway eras.
The Bx6, Bx6 SBS, and Bx13 buses stop near the stadium at E. 161 St. and River Avenue.
The Bx1 and Bx2 both stop at E. 161 St and the Grand Concourse, a three-block walk east to the stadium. The BxM4 stops at the Grand Concourse and E. 161 St (northbound) and E. 158 St (southbound).
Customers can use the real-time bus arrival tracking feature on the MTA app before boarding.
“Spring in New York City means the Yankee Clippers are starting to roll again,” Justin Vonashek, Metro-North Railroad Executive vice president and chief operating officer, said in the release. “Whether you are coming from Connecticut, the Hudson Valley, New York City, or Long Island, you can find a Metro-North train to get you to your seat in time for this season’s first pitch and to get you back home after the game safely, comfortably and reliably.”
“As one of the few places with vintage rolling stock that still rolls, we are proud to be part of the team to keep this beloved tradition alive,” said Concetta Bencivenga, New York Transit Museum director.
