11 Oria Stadium is a landmark in Kalona that the military has taken over and turned into a forward operating base. It is the setting of Chapter 2 of the Campaign's second act, and it is where Bravo Squad stops improvising on its own and joins a larger organised effort. The published material calls it a FOB.

99 The stadium is not a purpose-built installation. It is a piece of civilian Kalona the COG has seized because it was there and it was big enough. It is the second civic building the campaign shows being taken over this way: Kalona's City Hall is hastily converted into a base of operations, part medical triage and part command centre.

1112 Chapter 2 is also where the city starts to open up, with wider sectors and room to leave the main route. The campaign stays linear, and the stadium is a fixed story location inside it rather than a hub.

1314 Meeting Theta Squad
1415  
1516 Bravo Squad links up with Tai Kaliso and Theta Squad at the stadium. Theta is a separate COG unit; no roster, commander or further detail for it has been published, and Tai is the only member named. He is not part of Bravo Squad, and his own page covers what has been confirmed about him.

1718 The meeting matters structurally. The campaign never leaves these four, so any wider picture of the war has to arrive through somebody they run into. The stadium is one of the largest of those arrivals: a real base with a chain of command.

1920 The Chainsaw Lancer Prototype
2021  
2122 The stadium sequence includes downtime, and the downtime carries the Chainsaw Lancer prototype. It is offered to Bravo Squad and described as crudely but thoughtfully bolted together from a standard-issue Lancer and an old chainsaw: a field improvisation somebody thought hard about, not factory kit.

2324 The weapon's wider origin story, and how it handles, are on Weapons. This page records only that the stadium is where the prototype changes hands.

2526 The Rail Station
2627  
2728 Bravo Squad's objective after the stadium is securing a nearby rail station, and it ends in a brutal multi-level fight. That fits the campaign's habit of building its largest arenas with a couple of storeys of verticality and several routes through the same encounter. Nothing else has been published about the station: no name, no layout, no account of what is holding it.

2930 Naming and Earlier Material

3132 Kalona's skyline was described as taking in a sports stadium well before any venue in the city had a name attached to it. Oria Stadium is the name published since, tied to a landmark under military occupation. Whether the two point at the same building has not been stated, so both are recorded as published rather than merged.
