One of the most heated rivalries in sports returns to Yankee Stadium this weekend, and Metro-North Railroad is marking the series by adding service to ensure fans can cheer on the Bronx Bombers as they take on the Boston Red Sox in night games at 7:05 p.m. Friday, 7:15 p.m. Saturday and 7:08 p.m. Sunday. Extra trains to deliver fans will run on the New Haven and Hudson lines.

 

Cathy Rinaldi, Metro-North president said Metro-North is the fastest and easiest way to get to Yankee Stadium. “By adding extra service, we can ensure that all fans make it for the first pitch and cheer on their team for what I’m sure will be some of the most exciting games of the season,” she said. “Go Yankees!”
