The Concourse: the Bronx's busiest subway stop, and the ballpark it serves
Yankee Stadium anchors the Grand Concourse around 161st Street — the busiest subway station in the Bronx, on the 4, B and D.
The Concourse runs along the Grand Concourse, and its center of gravity is 161st Street, where Yankee Stadium sits directly across from the subway. The 161st Street-Yankee Stadium station is the busiest in the Bronx, and on a game day you understand why: the 4 runs at all times, the D most of the day, the B on weekday rush and middays, and all of them empty into the same few blocks.
Baseball is the reason most people come, but the station and the boulevard keep working on the days nothing's happening at the ballpark too. Time your visit for a home game if you want the spectacle; come on an ordinary afternoon if you'd rather see the neighborhood than the crowd.
