Absolutely the worst subway line in the Bronx. You may be surprised to know, that the express D train does not stop at this station during "rush hour." Despite the presence of the stadium, all the court houses, criminal defender services, Bronx Terminal Market, the marriage bureau, social security office, housing services office, and the first stop on the historical Grand Concourse. Way to cater to Manhattanites and ignore your own community who live and work in the Bronx and need access to these basic services. Add that on to the deft corporate kowtowing during Yankee games, when the D train suddenly decides to stop at this station so Manhattanites can make it to their precious games. Be prepared to have to switch to the absolute nightmare that is the B train if you plan to ride at these commute times. Often 10-15 behind schedule, running upwards of 20 minutes between trains, running on the wrong track, and often not running at all, forcing the D train to run local in the Bronx anyway. The MTA makes zero effort whatsoever to sync the local and express trains, watching the B train close its doors and pull away from the station just as the D train is arriving is not an uncommon occurrence. Why they raise rates equally in the Bronx and charge the same amount per ride as they do in Manhattan, while providing an inferior service is baffling. By now it won't surprise you to know that the D train actually does stops here if you are commuting from Manhattan. I'm surprised there hasn't been a lawsuit yet.
