History
Originally opened on 24 May 1971, the station has been rebuilt twice. In July 2007, a large part of the rebuilding was completed and on 17 November 2007 the station was fully opened. The new station was designed by Grimshaw Architects of London in association with Arcadis Architecten.The station arches over the ArenA Boulevard. The complex is almost long, wide, and tall. It is mostly transparent, to blend in with the rest of the Boulevard.
The metro lines that stop at this station are Metroline 54 and Metroline 50.
On 10 December 2006 the station's name was changed from Amsterdam Bijlmer to Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA, to match its location, named after the nearby Amsterdam ArenA stadium, home of AFC Ajax. On the west side is Heineken Music Hall and Pathé ArenA cinema with 14 screens and the newly built event venue Ziggo Dome. On the east side is Amsterdamse Poort.
