Stadium station is a light rail station on the Blue and Red lines of the St. Louis MetroLink system. [2] This below-grade station is located alongside 8th Street between Spruce Street and Clark Avenue.
Stadium sits at the west portal of the historic St. Louis Freight Tunnel, constructed in 1874 to carry trains between the Eads Bridge and the Mill Creek Valley rail yards. [3] The tunnel closed after a final Amtrak train passed through in 1974. Rehabilitation began in 1991 in preparation for the opening of MetroLink in 1993, which now uses the tunnel to connect communities in Illinois and Missouri via downtown St. Louis. [4]
Both platforms are connected to Clark Avenue with accessible ramps or stairs. There are also stairs connecting the platforms to Spruce Street.
