Key logistics
| Bag policy | Each guest is permitted to bring one soft-sided bag into Yankee Stadium, provided its dimensions do not exceed 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches. One smaller-sized soft-sided personal item (e.g., handbag, clutch, tote, or plastic grocery bag) is also allowed. Hard-sided bags and containers are strictly prohibited. There is no storage area for any items at Yankee Stadium. |
|---|---|
| Doors open | For New York Yankees home games, all gates typically open 90 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. For New York City FC home matches, gates open 90 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Gate openings are subject to change due to inclement weather, special events, or at the discretion of Yankee Stadium management. |

| Rideshare zone | The designated rideshare drop-off point for Yankee Stadium is located along Jerome Avenue near Gate 8. Post-game pick-up areas can become congested; guests may consider waiting a few minutes after the game or walking slightly away from the stadium to avoid peak congestion. |
