I got on the Metro-North train in Riverdale this morning and got off the Yankee stadium-E 153rd street station. There was a Yankees game today, but something interesting happened. The ticket collector game me my ticket back. Upon exiting the station, I was required to give that ticket to a male standing at the Metro-North exit booths in order to pass. I gave him my ticket, but was a bit baffled as to why it would be necessary in the first place seeing that I'm exiting the station and not entering? This is clearly something that's only done during game day, as I've used that station before and never saw that. Is this something that they do for crowd control or what's the story?
