Line 11: The terrain of the Stadium floor is largely an expanse of sand, broken up in parts by pop-up obstacles and hidden mines controlled by the command center. The obstacles and mines are in fixed locations but are supposed to be operated by random, though many operators have a favorite pattern, making it valuable knowledge to know who is at the controls for any given match. While not as challenging as other arenas, many [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] look forward to fighting at the Stadium thanks to its familiarity. Ramps at either end of the stadium lead down to underground 'Mech bays and other facilities.<ref name=S7/> The terrain of the Stadium floor is largely an expanse of sand, broken up in parts by pop-up obstacles and hidden mines controlled by the command center.
