The stop’s name matches where it takes you, as long as the Blue and Red Lines are running and the sidewalk is clear.
The stop exists so Blue and Red Line riders can reach the stadium with a short trip outside.
Decide which gate you need before you leave home. Service disruptions and sold-out events can change your plans.
