The stop is Willets Point Boulevard ... NEXT stop, Main Street Flushing (or 111th Street depending on direction) ... no need to mention that there's a stadium at ALL there then ... See? That was easy. :)

As a comparison, the station at Wrigley Field in Chicago is simply called Addison and the automated announcments call it Addison (although a certain SubChatter overrides them and announces "Addison, Wrigley Field, home of the 200x World Series"). There are Cubs logos on the station signage to identify the presence of the stadium.

The Cell's station, on the other hand, is called Sox/35th. The reason for the discrepancy is probably because the Addison station predates the Cubs stadium, but the White Sox were there before the 'L' station.
