Riverfront Stadium station serves as a light rail stop located within the Washington Park neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey. It operates on the Newark Light Rail line that connects to Newark Broad Street station. The station includes a single low-level platform designated for northbound travel. Positioned directly opposite Broad Street, it stands near the former location of Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium.
The station commenced operations on July 17, 2006, coinciding with the rail expansion extending service from Newark Penn Station to Broad Street station. Its name derives from the nearby Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium, which previously functioned as a venue for an independent baseball league and was accessible through Gate C adjacent to the station. The stadium ceased operations in 2013 and was subsequently demolished in 2019.
