Riverfront Stadium station is a light rail station in the Washington Park section of Newark, New Jersey, United States. The station is a single low-level platform for trains used by the Newark Light Rail branch to Newark Broad Street station. Riverfront Stadium station is a northbound-only stop, and the site of the former stadium is located across Broad Street from the terminus.
The station opened on July 17, 2006, when an extension from Newark Penn Station opened to Broad Street station.[http://www.njtransit.com/sa_travel_alerts.jsp#32301 New Jersey Transit Travel Alert announcing opening of Newark Light Rail Extended service.] Riverfront Stadium station attained its name from the Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium, an independent baseball league ballpark. The station was located next to the entrance to Gate C; however, the stadium closed in 2013, and the city razed the stadium in 2019.
