Stadium station is an Edmonton Light Rail Transit station in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It serves the Capital Line. It is a ground-level station located at 111 Avenue and 84 Street, next to Commonwealth Stadium and Clarke Stadium.

History

The station opened on April 22, 1978, and is one of the original five stations on the LRT system.

Redevelopment work on the station began in mid-May 2020. The station redevelopment includes renovating the entire station roof canopy, removing the underground concourse, adding a second platform (making the station the only two platform LRT station in Edmonton), adding new heated shelters, public washrooms, and a security office. This redevelopment work is expected to be complete in January 2022.

Station layout

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 metres wide, which is narrow by current Edmonton LRT design guidelines. 468 parking spaces are available to commuters at the station.

Public art

The public art at Stadium station was designed by students at the University of Alberta. It is a series of flags and flagpoles made of coloured aluminum.

Security

Stadium station has been the scene of several violent crimes in recent years.

• In 2010, a 23-year-old woman was shot in the face and killed by a stranger.
• In 2012, a man was robbed, while a second man who tried to help was stabbed.
• In 2013, a 19-year-old man was stabbed in broad daylight in front of several witnesses.
