Our advice:

It is better to use public transport to avoid parking costs, and traffic jams are frequent during the championship.

August weather can be very hot and humid, night games are cooler and generally more economical.

El campeonato se realiza durante los meses de alta temperatura y el parque no tiene mucha sombra, por lo que debes usar ropa adecuada. No traiga bolsas grandes para evitar largas colas de seguridad. El tren 7 lo llevará a Flushing Meadows o por un poco más de dinero, pero una experiencia más cómoda toma el ferrocarril de Long Island; también conocido como (LIRR).
