Metro North has existing, active Hudson Line track near the site. Some connections will need to be altered to provide New Haven Line and Harlem Line service. The station will function as a Hudson Line local station outside of game days.

The MTA estimates that the project will cost $91 million, including $52 million that it will provide and $39 million that will be provided by New York City.

Transit watchdog groups dispute this.Fact|date=November 2007 They say this money will have to be diverted from other MTA transportation projects in the region. Several groups have urged the Yankees to pay for part, if not all, of the station's cost, since the Yankees would be the prime beneficiary of this station. The Yankees have said the Metro-North project is separate from their stadium project.
