The New York Yankees say ticketholders “are strongly urged to arrive as early as possible” due to extra security measure as the president attends tonight’s game in the Bronx.
Trump is scheduled to fly to New York to attend Thursday night’s Yankees-Detroit Tigers baseball game at Yankee Stadium.
The team said in a statement that gates open at 4 p.m., more than three hours before first pitch against the Detroit Tigers.
It added that fans should also “budget extra time for entry due to enhanced security measures” at all Yankee Stadium gates.
Trump is attending the game to help mark the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
His visit to the men’s final of the U.S. Open in Queens on Sunday sparked massive lines, long enough that some fans didn’t make it to their seats for more than an hour into the match — despite organizers delaying the start by 30 minutes.
It will be the latest of many sporting events the president has attended this year, including the Super Bowl and the Daytona 500.
Secret Service tells Yankees fans to ‘consider leaving your bags at home’
The Secret Service has joined the Yankees in warning fans of very long security lines being likely for tonight’s game, due to President Trump being in attendance.
“If you are attending tonight’s @Yankees game, plan on arriving early and consider leaving your bags at home to help speed up the security screening process,” the Secret Service posed on X.
That followed the Yankees saying earlier that ticketholders “are strongly urged to arrive as early as possible.”
Gates are opening more than three hours before first pitch between the Yankees and Tigers in the Bronx at 7:05 p.m. ET.
