Stadium cards have some limitations. Only one Stadium card may be in play at any time, so if either player plays a Stadium card while another Stadium is in play, the Stadium that is currently in play is discarded to make room for the newer Stadium. Some non-Stadium card effects can remove Stadiums from play as well. Each player can only play one Stadium card per turn. Players cannot play a Stadium card that has the same name as the one currently in play, which prevents players from using a Stadium with a once per turn activation twice in the same turn. (There is one caveat to this. Should such a Stadium be removed from play through a means other than playing a Stadium, then a Stadium of that name can be played again. As the second stadium is a different object, its action would not be prevented by having used the action of the first Stadium.)

Some cards care about if there is any Stadium in play, while other cards care about if a Stadium with a specific name or specific phrase in their name is in play. Some cards even check if their owner has a Stadium in play, ignoring the presence of a Stadium played by the opponent.
