Riverfront Stadium is served by cars for Broad Street only. The station is basically for discharging passengers only because the platform is one of the most bear but large I've seen and doesn't have any TVMs, canopies or shelters and not even a ticket validation machine, but the platform is quite wide with a white tactile warning strip across from a fence designed to keep passengers from crossing the tracks at the platform but use the pedestrian crossing a short ways north of it. The station is located at the gates of Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium that was home of the Newark Bears of Baseball's Independent Can-Am League (The Bears and Eagles portion of the stadium name honors the former Newark Negro League Teams) until the team went bankrupt and were disbanded after a new seller couldn't be found before the 2014 season. The station is on a short private ROW between Division Street and the tracks running parallel to Garrabrant Place. There are just a few signs on the platform.Two signs are your standard modern NJT sign and says the station name. Two others inform passengers for Southbound Service to Newark Penn Station: board at Broad Street or Washington Street and to purchase and validate tickets before boarding that are available at Broad Street. The platforms have some lights that are silver with square tops and look light floodlights on a highway not for a light rail station.
