It intended to create a major new stadium on the site, which served as a training ground among other things.

A low platform would be built for trains running on the Schuster Railway (Schusterbahn) from Kornwestheim.

Trains coming from Waiblingen would run on the Rems Railway curve towards Untertürkheim freight yard to reach the station.

Since planning for the Stuttgart S-Bahn was already under consideration, providing a stop for long-distance trains on the Fils Valley railway was not envisaged.

The way was now clear for the establishment of Neckarstadion station on Alten Untertürkheimer Straße (street) and it was inaugurated on 29 September 1984.

It was decided to rename the station with its current name, not only to refer to the stadium, but to the entire events area.
