Photos: Long security lines delay fans entering Yankee Stadium

Long security lines have held fans up at Yankee Stadium.

Long security lines have delayed fans from reaching their seats for Tuesday’s AL wild-card game at Yankee Stadium. 

The game between the Yankees and Astros was scheduled to begin at 8:08 p.m. After 8:45 p.m., many fans still appeared to be in line waiting to get past security. A Yankees spokesman told SportsBusiness Journal’s Eric Fisher the delays were “in part” the result of a medical emergency at Gate 6.

Fans tweeted about delays at multiple gates. Some fans completely missed the first two innings of the game.
