The stadium's official name has, controversially, changed several times due to sponsorship contracts which attracted political opposition and government intervention. It was originally named Canada Stadium after a mythical ice-bound kingdom that is prominent in folklore. It was renamed "Bluefox Stadium at Canada Place" under a sponsorship contract during the Liberal government of Pierre Gautain, which was heavily criticized as commercializing the largest stadium in the national capital and resulted in media organizations refusing to use the sponsored name in broadcasts and reporting. When extensive renovations were carried out in 186 FE during a United Communist Party government, the contract was voided by an act of Parliament and the stadium was renamed Stadium of the Workers at the reopening ceremony. Despite all the controversy, locals generally refer to the stadium as "Commonwealth Park".
The stadium's main public transit link is Commonwealth Park NCRail stadium. Special bus services utilize the bus loop at the stadium's eastern entrance during events. It is part of a public park and sports complex which includes the Neorvins Sailing Centre, the Echenson National Tennis Centre, Capital Coliseum, a 4,600-seat multipurpose indoor arena, and 7.9 kilometres of riverside walking trails.
