FamousNYLover Posted April 3, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2009 According to Webiste, New Yankees-153rd St will open May 22nd. I hope does not make mistake just like South Ferry. http://mta.info/mnr/html/serviceupdates.htm#545 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted April 3, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 3, 2009 I hope it opens smootly and on time, I don't want to see similar situation as the New South Ferry. This station should open on time. There's a huge demand for it and it will piss the hell out of the Yanks if there's any delay. South Ferry had construction issues, I really don't think the same can be said about the new station. Sides, we haven't heard any problems with the new station, thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak7 Posted April 4, 2009 Share #7 Posted April 4, 2009 Also an easier to access fare-saving station instead of Marble Hill with the local . How far a walk is it to the Yankee Stadium Station ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted April 4, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 4, 2009 Also an easier to access fare-saving station instead of Marble Hill with the local . How far a walk is it to the Yankee Stadium Station ? I believe it is a 5-10 minute walk. Walk through the carpark and you'll reach the old stadium. Cross 161st and you're there. The station is to the southwest of the new ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted April 5, 2009 Share #10 Posted April 5, 2009 question: is the station going to be open at all time for the Hudson Line? Or Only when there is a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak7 Posted April 5, 2009 Share #12 Posted April 5, 2009 Only for when its game time! Wrong! The station will be open at all times. Local trains will stop there. Direct Harlem/New Haven service via Mott will be game-day pre-game only. The is still figuring out whether or not to add post-game direct Harlem/New Haven service.

metsfan Posted April 5, 2009 Share #13 Posted April 5, 2009 I know that LIRR does not stop at mets / willets point unless theres tennis stuff or a game, or some other event, however the always stops there. went out at 2:30 am back in 2007. Was creepy. *shudder*. MNRR should stop there all times local because theres a residential population in the area, unlike willets point, which has a population of 1 as of 2007. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was not referring to the station but the neighborhood that CitiField is located in. The area around CitiField is deserted so if one is there at night on a non-game day, then it would be creepy since nobody would be around there. On the other hand, the area near Yankees-153 Street is residental so there are more people there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LIRR station is closed off with metal barricades & chains when it isn't in use. You can go to the uber-creepy flushing meadows park (not creepy during the day though), the parking lot there, there's the yard and CS depot, but when i was there the yard & depot were empty of people and packed with trains/busses. Broad channel has nothing on this station. As far as the MNRR stop goes, i think the harlem line melrose stop is totally unrelated and a bit far to be called a station for yankee stadium. Everyone i know that takes MNRR into the city to go to a yanks game, gets off at 125th and transfers to the subway. At least with this new station the crowding will be less there. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no residences, just auto shops and garages. There are carparks, a bus depot and a train yard. No residences or retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 153-ys stop will be an 'local' station usually serve by Hudson Local trains going to/from Croton Harmon. On non-game time, the Hudson Local runs every 30-60 minutes during off peak hours 7 days a week. On game days/nights only a select "express aka Poughkeepsie' trains will also stop at 153-YS from about 90 minutes before 1st pitch-1 hour after the last pitch.

MTR Admiralty Posted May 20, 2009 Share #22 Posted May 20, 2009 It should, because it will open every day, including weekends. It was meant to serve not only the stadium but the community surrounding it. Good choice. 2 Days!!!!! I'll head over to the station Friday. Who's coming?
