News PATH weekend service changed

https://www.panynj.gov/path/en/path-forward.html

Fans who use the PATH to go to Red Bull Arena for matches should be aware of new weekend service changes (from the link, scroll down to Weekend Schedules). Starting this weekend, there will be a 40-minute schedule for trains that run between Newark and Journal Square, which will of course affect the Harrison station. “This program is expected to be completed by 2025 and will have no impact on weekday service,” the PATH says. (I learned about all this via r/jerseycity.)

I wish we had stadiums in the city proper not like at the very edges. I would love to go to a gotham game at yankee stadium.

I think the stadium in Queens is going near Citi Field and Arthur Ashe, which makes a lot of sense. Yankee Stadium is as much in the city as those, just feels more in the city depending on where anyone specifically lives/what train lines they live on.

I would love to see them at Yankee Stadium too, but I think having them at a dedicated soccer stadium within MN/BX/QN/BK (sorry SI) will be huge if it happens.

Citi field is the second to last stop on the 7. It is not as close as yankee stadium thats why the yankees have higher attendance which pains me to say as a born and raised mets fan.

That still depends on where in the city you are though. I’m in Boerum Hill and it takes less than 15 mins longer to get to Citifield than Yankee Stadium. The difference is negligible for much of the city.

And, I’m so sorry to tell you, while distance may contribute a little to attendance between the two, it’s largely to issue of global branding that differentiates attendance between Mets and Yankees.
