Yankee Stadium Matchday Megathread
- Thread starter NYCFC 12th man
- Start date
Don't see the point of starting a new thread so I'll just ask it here. Is it unrealistic to go from Yankee stadium to South Manhattan before 9:30pm by subway? I'm leaving by bus that night so I'm trying to figure out my departure time. It's just straight D line without transfers.

Not really sure what you are asking? The D train runs 24/7 and what's South Manhattan ? Most buses leave from Port Authority and that's Midtown Manhattan, unless you're taking one of the buses that run out of Chinatown?
I was planning on doing the Chinatown one, but I just found the one in Midtown so I'll take that one instead. And sorry, I guess I'm just asking how long the D train roughly takes going from Yankee stadium back to Midtown. I'm assuming the game is over around 7:30-8:00 pm so I'm wondering if trying to catch a 9:30 pm bus is cutting it too close or not.

OK , the trip on the D train takes about 20-25 minutes to Port Authority/42st . If you're out of there and on the platform by 8:15 you should be fine and that will give you time to get to the right gate at PA.

The fastest way might be to take the Metro North train back to Grand Central and then head to 42nd Street on the shuttle. There is a Metro North thread that has the schedule for after the game.
Interesting article from NY Post on the work put into getting the stadium ready.

Last night I actually had a dream about today's match with the same score line - must have been all of the anticipation but NYCFC definitely invaded my sleep.
Field was painfully slow, and looked like crap on TV. Camera angle is so low.
Camera angle was a bummer. Forgot how much it sucks. Don't think that's something they can fix.
At an average of $35 a ticket, probably took in $1.5 Million in gross revenue. Judging on lines in store and concessions probably another $2 Million on top of that.
Good chance they covered half the non DP wage bill today.

Can we discuss how Yankee Stadium can't handle halftime crowds. It was a damn circus in the corridors and the lines for everything were massive.
They can't handle the break between the half innings. You want service go to a mets game. Yankee stadium is the worst of any I have ever been to and I have been to a lot of venues around the country.
