Did the Seastreak to Citifield about 12-15 years ago, great experience and a great way to get to games. I wish they would expand this and also for Yankees games. ---

It is also possible to take the ferry to see the Staten Island FerryHawks minor-league baseball team in action. It seems at various times there have been ferry boats to Yankee Stadium, but I can’t seem to figure out where the dock is, considering that side of Harlem River has a railroad running alongside the riverbank. ---

Wish the NYC Ferry would expand to Citi Field, even if only for the Summers. Makes so much sense, with existing boat traffic there. ---

would honestly be the second best transit option besides trains. I’ve never heard of boat gridlock! ---

NYC is drastically underperforming when it comes to how expanded the ferry should be. This is a city literally based around islands, I can name 10 spots on the top of my head that is needed for new ferry stations. ---
