The Yankees have designated 75 parking spaces, 96 inches wide, and included access aisles for this purpose. Twenty of the 75 spaces are also accessible to high top fans. Only vehicles with state-issued disabled parking plates or permits are permitted in these spots. |

The Yankees permit wheelchair users to purchase up to three companion seats for each game (to the extent available) in the designated wheelchair seating section. Pricing provisions will govern the price of one of the three companion seats. The additional one or two companion seats are priced at the general public price of the tickets for conventional seats for persons without disabilities in the same row. Beginning this season, the Yankees have designated individually numbered wheelchair accessible seating locations within each balcony of the Main Level Sections 2, 7, 8, 10 and 31 and in Loge Section 8. |
