Stadion station is close to Frankfurt's main football stadium, the Deutsche Bank Park.

The design of the station building stresses the horizontal and has a broad cornice separating the storeys.

Since the opening of the Cologne–Frankfurt high-speed rail line from Cologne Central Station, which connects with the Mannheim–Frankfurt railway, its traffic also runs through the node without stopping.

The line to the east also connects with the Main-Neckar Railway to Darmstadt Central Station at the nearby Forsthaus junction.

The entire first phase of the upgrade, which is estimated to cost a total of €78 million, will allow the realignment of the tracks in order to separate traffic flows.
