Stadium Station is a station on the LRT system (Route 201) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is operated by the Edmonton Transit System. The station opened on April 22, 1978, and is one of the original five stations on the LRT system.[1] Stadium Station is located between Churchill Station and Coliseum Station.
The station serves Edmonton's Norwood area and the Edmonton Commonwealth Stadium.[2]
The station has a 125 metre long centre loading platform that can accommodate two five-car LRT trains at the same time, with one train on each side of the platform. The platform is just under eight meters wide, which is narrow by current Edmonton LRT design guidelines. 468 parking spaces are available to commuters at the station. [3]
Stadium is one of five stations that have never been the terminus of the line.[4]
