Originally, the station was to be named "Taipei Stadium Station". However, the area was renamed to "Taipei City Sports Park", no longer using the original station name. Thus, on July 22, 2011, the Department of Rapid Transit Systems announced that the station would be renamed to Taipei Arena Station, using Taipei Arena to signify the park.[3]
