Background
History
The station is named after the nearby Stadium of Light, the home stadium of Sunderland A.F.C., which is located about 700metres south west of the station. Despite the station's name, the nearby station at St Peter's is located closer to the stadium. In July 2017, the station was decorated in red and white stripes, the colours of Sunderland A.F.C., to celebrate 20 years of the Stadium of Light.
