155th Street/8th Avenue Station · Opened 9/10/1932

Three tracks, two side platforms. Tile colors the same as 145th Street. The station has white brick walls and many closed exits. A close inspection of the mezzanine reveals that the mezzanine used to be full length but was reduced in size. There are also "Uptown" and "Downtown" directional mosaics in the mezzanine. At the north end exit, the stairs are extra wide. This was no doubt done to accommodate crowds going to and from the Polo Grounds, which, until April 1964, stood right outside this station. Curiously, the number of (former) platform stairways is much greater here than at 161st Street-Yankee Stadium, despite Yankee Stadium pre-dating the subway by 10 years.
