Trump Headed To Yankee Stadium
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump is set to attend Thursday night’s New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers matchup at Yankee Stadium, marking a powerful evening of patriotism and remembrance.
The game will feature special pregame ceremonies honoring the victims, survivors, and first responders of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The event is expected to draw massive national attention as Americans reflect on one of the darkest days in U.S. history and celebrate the heroes who rose to defend the nation.
Heightened Security for Trump’s Visit
With President Trump in attendance, security will be significantly increased throughout Yankee Stadium and the surrounding area. Officials are strongly urging ticket holders to arrive early, plan for longer wait times, and use public transportation.
- Stadium gates open at 4:00 p.m., three hours before the first pitch at 7:05 p.m.
- Expect road closures, parking restrictions, and limited access points near the stadium.
- Certain areas inside and outside Yankee Stadium may be turned into secure zones, restricting movement before, during, and after the game.

A Night of Remembrance and Patriotism
Thursday’s matchup will be far more than just baseball. The Yankees will pay tribute to the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11, while also honoring the courageous first responders and everyday Americans who stepped up during one of the nation’s most trying times.
