The station was opened on July 1, 1977, and is operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Stadium–Armory serves the Blue, Orange and Silver Lines. The station was supposed to be the Silver Line's eastern terminus, but in December 2012, due to safety concerns regarding a pocket track between this station and Minnesota Avenue (the first station to the east on the Orange Line), Metro officials decided to extend the line into nearby Prince George's County, Maryland to Largo Town Center, which is the eastern terminus of the Blue Line. It is a transfer station for the Blue and Orange lines, as this is the last station shared by the two lines before the lines diverge going east. The station has entrances on 19th Street at C Street and Independence Avenue. The Stadium-Armory station serves RFK Stadium, which is currently the home of the D.C. United soccer team, but previously served as the home of the Washington Redskins, the Washington Nationals, and the Washington Senators before the team moved to Texas and became the Texas Rangers. The station also serves the D.C. Jail and the D.C. Armory, which is both a popular venue for shows and entertainment and the headquarters of the District of Columbia National Guard. Together with the Potomac Avenue station, Stadium-Armory is one of two Metrorail stations within walking distance of Congressional Cemetery. Before its closure in 2001, D.C. General Hospital was served by the Stadium-Armory station.The station opened on July 1, 1977. Its opening coincided with the completion of 11.8 miles (19.0 km) of rail between National Airport and RFK Stadium and the opening of the Arlington Cemetery, Capitol South, Crystal City, Eastern Market, Farragut West, Federal Center SW, Federal Triangle, Foggy Bottom–GWU, L'Enfant Plaza, McPherson Square, National Airport, Pentagon, Pentagon City, Potomac Avenue, Rosslyn and Smithsonian stations. Orange Line service to the station began upon the line's opening on November 20, 1978. Stadium–Armory would also serve as the eastern terminus of the Blue line from its opening through the opening of its extension to Addison Road on November 22, 1980. Silver Line service at Stadium-Armory began on July 26, 2014. With the redevelopment of the former D.C. General Hospital campus into a mixed-use neighborhood called "Hill East", the area around the Stadium-Armory station will be in transition for the first few decades of the twenty-first century. Addtitionally, with the planned move of D.C. United to a new soccer-specific stadium in the Buzzard Point area of Washington by the year 2020, the future of RFK Stadium is uncertain, with the possibility of demolition lingering over the 1960s-era facility."@en }
