Stadium station consists of one island platform with a single entrance from its northern end from the grade crossing with S Royal Bougham Way. It is just south of the Seattle Transit Tunnel and after crossing Royal Bougham Way it joins the ROW of the transitway it is running alongside to enter the tunnel beneath downtown seattle.
The single entrance plaza with the TVMs beneath a shelter across the entire entry area to the island platform feels like an unnecessarily long but wide way to reach the single extra wide island platform. This long walkway was primarily designed (I believe) for the crowds after Mariners, Sounders, and Seahawks Games walking to the station from the stadium a few blocks away. The platform has a canopy design almost identical to SODO with the meal mesh of what could be a canopy for the entire platform but glass only in the middle of it.

The long walkway to leave the platform seems unnecessary, perhaps it is for game day crowd control

Getting off a train at Stadium, the platform is wide but there is just one entrance, its empty, a non-game day.
