'Stadium' stations are curiously named. Back in the days of yore, I would go and see concerts at Wembley Arena and even sports events at the old Wembley Stadium. Wembley Park Underground (ironic on two counts) Station was in fact a country mile from the Stadium/Arena.
On a slightly smaller scale Vancouver has the same approach, placing the 'Stadium' Skytrain Station a fair walk from the actual venue. I remember being a tourist in the city and getting the Skytrain from Granville to Stadium to go and see the Canucks. I wondered then if we actually ended up further away from the game than when we got on at Granville.
To be fair, calling it Stadium/Chinatown is a step in the right direction. That is unless you actually want the Stadium (which is in the other direction). Foolishly I expected a Stadium station to be at ... the Stadium. I didn't read signs, but I did struggle when I couldn't immediately spot the Stadium when I came out of station.
The struggle was short-lived though, as it was back at Wembley, we just followed the crowd. Someone in there must know where the Stadium is! ...
