Since last year’s opening of the new Yankee Stadium, Metro-North’s “Take the Train to the Game^TM” service offers Connecticut Yankee fans the opportunity to skip the hassle

of driving to and parking at the Stadium, allowing them help cut down on vehicle miles traveled as well. Fans can take a direct “Yankee Clipper” train for all weekday 7:05 p.m. games from New Haven at 4:15 p.m. that arrives at the 153^rd Street Yankee Stadium stop at 5:50. Trains run for all regular season weekend and holiday games as well. Direct trains from the Stadium to Connecticut start to depart 20 minutes after the final out, with the final one leaving 45 minutes after the game. In addition, shuttles from Grand Central and the Harlem-125^th Street stations, both stops on the normal New Haven-Grand Central lines, are available to the Stadium. The train provides a comfortable, worry-free, and environmentally friendly route to the stadium—one that all Yankee fans traveling to the Stadium should check out!
