They are people who just punched it into a computer and it probably says 2.5-3.0 hours. Anyone who has driven it knows it could take up to 6.0 hrs if traffic is really bad. There usually is 2.5 hrs of traffic alone at the bridges and waiting to get to the stadium.

I'm 48 years old and grew up in an area of Manhattan called Washington Heights.I would catch the A train at 168th street and take it to 145th street and change to the D train and take it i think 1 or 2 stops to the Bronx and 161st street and River avenue which is right where Yankee stadium is.To this day if i go there i drive to Forest Hills jump on the E train and take it to 7th avenue and change to the D train.No way in he ll i'm driving to the stadium.
