The station was opened on June 24, 2001 in conjunction with the Staten Island Yankees baseball season, serving the team's new Richmond County Bank Ballpark on game days only.

[3] Due to a budget crisis suffered by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, this station was closed on June 18, 2010, the date of the first scheduled home game of the season.

[3] As a result, a short walk from St. George, or traveling on the S40 or S44 buses, is required to reach the stadium.

The station is located underneath the stadium below the northern sidewalk of Richmond Terrace between Wall Street and Hamilton Avenue.

It is served by a one-track wye which extends from St. George to the southern (geographically eastern) trackway of the station's island platform.
