In the background, a large crowd watches the fight while fireworks go off in the sky. There is a large jumbotron which can display the battle itself, a symbol representing the upcoming variation during a stage transition, or the current standings of fighters and the [[match timer]]. In ''Brawl'', the jumbotron in the background shows the fight in a lower picture definition than in ''Melee'', and uses a new, clearer font for its display. When the jumbotron displays the "Current Leader" in ''Melee'' and ''Ultimate'', the font of the character's names matches that color of their player port. Additionally, in [[Team Battle]]s, the color of the CPU players' names matches their respective teams color but with less saturation. In ''Brawl'' it will show only one character's name even if there's currently a tie between multiple characters for the highest score/stock count, and in [[Team Battle]]s, will only display the character leading the team with the higher score rather than the entire winning team. When playing on this stage in [[Training Mode]] in ''Melee'', the stage will not transform and the jumbotron only focuses on the battle or zooms in on one of the characters.

On the left side there is a windmill. Its arms spin slowly and can be stood upon, but players on the current lowest arm fall. The arms are soft in ''Melee'' and ''Ultimate'' but hard in ''Brawl''. In ''Brawl'' it's possible for small items to get stuck in the windmill if one lands in the center of the windmill just as it becomes solid. [[Poké Ball]]s will not activate while stuck there.

While the stage is not specifically based on anything from the {{uv|Pokémon}} video game series, it may be a general representation of a {{s|bulbapedia|Gym}}. A possible specific origin could be the ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]'' games, from which the stage's name possibly comes from and whose arenas in-game feature a [[Poké Ball]] logo in the middle, a crowd watching the battle and, in the case of Gym Leader battles, type-related aesthetics. However, the arenas in the ''Pokémon Stadium'' games, including the type-themed ones, do not affect the battles in any way. Despite sharing its name with the game ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Stadium|English}}'', the stage features no direct references to it or [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Stadium 2|its sequel]].

*In ''Brawl'', if {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}} is currently on the stage, the jumbotron will display her name as "Samus" instead of "Zero Suit Samus". This also happens in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and [[PictoChat]].

*In ''Brawl'' whenever either this stage or [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] is featured in an [[event match]], the jumbotron will not display "SUCCESS" when clearing the event, but will display "FAILURE" if the event end in a failure. This was fixed for both stages in the PAL version.
