I’d sure be appreciative if anyone who lives in the tri-state area knows how the heck to get from the Merit Parkway in CT to Yankee Stadium. I know there are a lot of Manhattenites and other New Yorkers here who would know. Thanks a bunch… ---

The Yankees are advising people to take public transportation because of construction around the stadium area. Here are directions from various places on [their webside.](http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/nyy/ballpark/directions_parking.jsp) ---

[QUOTE=Phlosphr] Hmmm, taking the train huh? I better read their website. [/QUOTE] According to[this map of the subway system](http://www.nycsubway.org/maps/route.html) there are a couple of lines (green line on map) from your vicinity almost directly to the Yankee Stadium station. There might even be a park and ride lot near the subway station. If the Yankee’s website know what it is talking about, Exit 6 on the Deegan southbound is 161st St. which is right at Yankee Stadium.
