Drive (and plan for traffic).

The thought of getting on a train with a million drunk fans...Ugh NO WAY Chat Icon Chat Icon

I'd rather be sitting in my car with my own A/C and no annoying drunks, especially with kids.

Train.
Never ever drive in nyc.
There is no reason to with mass transit.
Plus parking is expensive near Yankee Stadium. Figure $40.
I always take the train. Its easy .
Also bear in mind its 4th of July and when you get out of the game you will be right in the midsr of people heading home from the fireworks. Bbqs, trips etc.
I am getting anxiety just thinking about it



the other thing about July 4 is that transit runs on a Saturday schedule, so that sucks big time.

It usually sounds much easier than it ends up being

We live on SI, my sister took our kids to a Met game last week and we drove to CitiField. Bc by the time we took the SIR to the ferry to the subway or the express bus to all of those things, it would take 2+ hours.

I would think Saturday schedule transit would be about equal to traffic you'd encounter so I would probably drive

I prefer mass transit but in your case I’d drive because -
The trains are on a holiday schedule so you’re at the mercy of the MTA, with kids in tow
You aren’t going to be drinking
As much as I hate to pay for parking, at $30/40, you’re pretty much even with paying for mass transit for four people
Sitting in traffic blows but so does standing on a hot subway platform with a bunch of drunken assholes
