They will likely do what is done at any other event at the stadium. Games are impossible to predict the ending as there are the chance of extra innings and rain delays. This is why the schedule is set up the way it is for night games (and past concerts). The direct trains leaving Yankees E153 ST Station depart at the end of the event until approximately 45 minutes after the end of the event.
The problem is staging all those trains before the event ends. At least with baseball games the trainmasters monitor the progress of the game and can plan to have all the trains in the right place right as the game ends. With the concerts no one really knows when it ends until it ends, and a mob of people come out of the stadium. The 5 mins it takes for the crowds to walk from the stadium to the station is not enough to get all the trains in place. Usually for a baseball game trains will start to get in place around the 7th inning. The trains are then held at various places along the road; just south of CP 8, south of CP 5, CP 4, CP 3. The trains then roll in slowly to Yankees 153. So it's an entire process to get everything in place and to keep the regular trains on time as well. That process is impeded during events like concerts, because we can't predict when it will end, and when it does the crowds just pour out. The people leave the baseball games more gradually than they do the concerts.
