Stadium MRT Station
Stadium MRT Station (CC6) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Circle Line in Singapore. The station was opened on 17 April 2010 along with the rest of Stage 1 & 2 of the Circle Line in Singapore.
It serves the Kallang area and the future Singapore Sports Hub (which comprises the new National Stadium, new Aquatic Centre and the existing Singapore Indoor Stadium), Leisure Park Kallang and the Tanjong Rhu area. The station is named after the sport centres/stadiums in the vicinity. It is expected to have a high amount of passenger usage when there is a significant event in the Sport centres nearby. The station was designed by WOHA Architects. This station is also within the vicinity of Kallang and Mountbatten.
Since the opening of the Circle Line extension on 14 January 2012, trains from Marina Bay terminate at Platform A of this station during off-peak hours, proceed to perform a cross-over after the station and arrive at Platform B to return to Marina Bay.

“The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“With boys you always know where you stand. Right in the path of a hurricane. It’s all there. The fruit flies hovering over their waste can, the hamster trying to escape to cleaner air, the bedrooms decorated in Early Bus Station Restroom.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
