Most passengers who use it are going to events. Crowds bound for the National Stadium and the Singapore Indoor Stadium pass through here, as do people visiting Kallang Theatre, the OCBC Aquatic Centre, the OCBC Arena and the Water Sports Centre. On ordinary days, the station also serves shoppers and diners heading to Kallang Wave Mall and Leisure Park Kallang. During off-peak hours, Circle Line services from Dhoby Ghaut terminate here, so the station is the end of the line for those trains.

History of Stadium MRT station

Before this station existed, the closest MRT stations to the National Stadium were Kallang and Lavender, both a long walk away, and the roads around the venue often jammed during major events. The station was first planned for the Marina Line, which was later merged into the Circle Line, and construction began in 2001. Stadium MRT station opened on 17 April 2010, when Circle Line Stages 1 and 2 started running, and that same year its design by WOHA won Design of the Year at the President’s Design Award.

Inside Stadium MRT station

The station was built with event crowds in mind. It has an open-air concourse and plaza where large numbers of people can gather without crowding the interior, and a skylight brings daylight down to the platforms, which keeps the layout easy to read without heavy signage. The curved side and grey colour scheme recall the old National Stadium that once stood nearby. Above both entrances is The Perfect Moment by Roy Zhang, part of the Art-in-Transit programme: a series of monochrome silhouettes of an athlete diving and kicking that together read like a choreographed dance.

Most people use Stadium MRT station to get to The Kallang’s venues. The National Stadium and the Singapore Indoor Stadium are each about a four minute walk away, and the Singapore Sports Museum is close by too, making it a sensible stop for anyone interested in the country’s sporting past.

For food before or after a match, Yum Yum food centre is about two minutes from the station and My Kampung is a short walk further. Kallang Wave Mall and Leisure Park Kallang cover everyday shopping and dining. On event days, allow extra time to get in and out of the station, as large crowds tend to arrive and leave together.
