The station shares part of its name with two other stations on the Rock Island District line to the west. The first is on the main line in Washington Heights, and the other is on the Beverly Branch (or "Suburban Line") in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago to the west. This 103rd Station is the nearest Metra Electric station to Gately Stadium, which is used both by high school and Chicago State University athletic teams. Although Metra gives the address as 103rd Street & Cottage Grove Avenue, parking areas are located on 103rd Street and Dauphin Avenue.
