When baseball returns to Yankee Stadium on Friday, two elevators at the neighboring subway station will still be weeks away from operable, according to the MTA.
Contractors for the transportation authority have been replacing five elevators at 161st Street-Yankee Stadium since late 2024, but the MTA said Thursday that some work remains, even after three new lifts went into service on the eve of the home-opener against the Miami Marlins on Friday.
Anthony Jerez said the outage that started in November 2024 has been frustrating for New Yorkers in need of a lift.
“For people like me, it’s a big problem,” said Jerez, 28, who underwent knee surgery after a recent accident. “We have to force ourselves onto the platform or else find some other way to go.”
