Hours
No Yankees home games until spring: the 2027 season at Yankee Stadium opens Thursday, 1:35 pm Mar 25 2027, against the Toronto Blue Jays (Opening Day tickets weren't on sale yet in mid-November 2026). For Yankees home games, all gates open 90 minutes before the scheduled start; gate openings can change for bad weather, special events, doubleheaders, Opening Day, the Old-Timers' Day game and the postseason. The Pinstripe Bowl college football game is Saturday, noon Dec 26 2026, with gates opening 90 minutes before (subject to change). The three Guest Relations Booths are open during games, matches and public events. The Yankees post no holiday hours.
“A Sensory Room is located on the Terrace Level at Section 320C and is available to Guests of all ages who have sensory processing needs.”
“The room is designed to accommodate Guests who may be experiencing sensory overload and includes activity panels, bean bag chairs, bubble walls, and fidget toys among other items to assist Guests. Guests interested in utilizing the Sensory Room may visit the Guest Relations Booth located at Section 320C.”
“Sensory kits are available at no charge at the Guest Relations Booths. Sensory kits include fidget toys, noise canceling headsets and sunglasses. A valid credit card or acceptable form of picture identification (e.g., valid driver's license or nondriver government-issued photo ID card) is required as a deposit. Guests have a choice of a sensory kit for an adult or child.”

The three Guest Relations Booths are in the Great Hall next to Gate 6, on the Field Level at Section 128, and on the Terrace/Grandstand Level at Section 320C. A lost child is taken to the Yankee Stadium Lobby next to Gate 2, and Guest Relations hands out free wristbands with your kid's seat location on them, so it helps to show your kid the nearest booth when you arrive.
Moments that can be loud: in the top of the 1st inning, fans in Section 203 chant each player's name (Roll Call); in the 7th-inning stretch the grounds crew dances to YMCA; and if the Yankees win, "New York, New York" blasts over the speakers as everyone leaves. Air horns and other noisemakers aren't allowed in.
Baseballs, bats and pieces of them can be hit or thrown anywhere in the stadium during batting practice, warm-ups and the game, so the Yankees ask every guest to stay alert. If you're worried about where you're sitting, a Stadium Ticket Window (next to Gate 6 in the Great Hall, behind home plate next to the Yankees Team Store, or next to Section 320C) can move you, subject to availability; a pricier seat costs the difference, and a cheaper one brings no refund.
A Sensory Room on the Terrace Level at Section 320C for guests of all ages with sensory processing needs, with activity panels, bean bag chairs, bubble walls and fidget toys; to use it, go to the Guest Relations Booth at Section 320C.
Free sensory kits (fidget toys, noise canceling headsets and sunglasses, in an adult or child version) at the Guest Relations Booths near Gate 6, Section 128 and Section 320C, with a valid credit card or photo ID left as a deposit.
Everyone, children included, goes through a metal detector at every gate, and bags are inspected; you can bring food for each person, and the stadium is cashless.
