"Disappointment for fans heading to Opening Day at the Bronx's iconic Yankee Stadium: not all elevators at the nearby subway stop are ready for the highly anticipated event. As thousands of baseball enthusiasts prepare to flood the stadium, commuters are facing a major accessibility issue at the 161st Street-Yankee Stadium subway station. The elevator upgrades, which were initially scheduled to be completed before the new stadium's opening in 2009, have been plagued by delays and setbacks over the years. With the stadium set to welcome fans for the new season, concerns are growing about the impact of the incomplete elevator system on accessibility and safety for passengers with disabilities."
