161st Street/River Avenue (Yankee Stadium) Station · Opened 7/1/1933

Three tracks, two side platforms. On the northbound side there is an extra stair from platform to street for traffic to Yankee Stadium, and an additional exit which has a sharp upturn outside the fare control. Colors are the same as 155th St. The station also features a low curtain wall separating the center express track from the local tracks. The brick on the walls is being replaced with glazed white tile, covering some but not all of the name tablets. While the color scheme remains the same, an interesting feature is found at the stairways on the northbound platform; the east walls of the stair are in the yellow accent color with the accent stripe being white.
