If the stop eventually offers direct service in and out of the metro north new haven line I'd upgrade from a partial season ticket to a full, and I'm sure many other would as well...

Or do you think people that are Yankees fans would go see a game no matter how difficult it is to get there? Do you think if it wasn’t so hard to get to the stadium, more people would want to go?

This is very disappointing, as I was under the impression that the new station would indeed provide direct service via the New Haven line.

Reading the post seems a bit confusing in regards to shuttles, transfers etc... My dream scenario was boarding a train in fairfield and being directly dropped within blocks of the stadium, any idea if that will be possible once construction is complete?

The MTA said that there will be direct service on the Harlem and New Haven lines on game days - no transfer needed at 125th Street. It'll be extremely easy for Westchester residents to come to the game via train. On non-game days, only the Hudson line will stop at the Stadium.

You probably won't get to watch the game from your jail cell but at least you can say that you've been to the new stadium. ;) Mel,
