Name and iconography
Before 2012, the station was known only as Ferrería and its icon depicted the head of a cow. This was a reference to a cattle ranch that existed nearby, known as Ferrería; there was also a train station that serviced this ranch.[2]
In 2012, the Arena Ciudad de México was inaugurated, built-in part of the grounds of the former Hacienda Ferrería and within walking distance of the Ferrería station. The name of the station was then changed on 29 November 2012 from Ferrería to Ferrería/Arena Ciudad de México. The pictogram was also modified, with the new icon depicting the stylized façade of the Mexico City Arena.[5][2]

Notes
- The data here is limited to the most recent ten years to avoid excessive listings; earlier figures can be found in this page's history or on the Mexico City Metro website. To calculate the average daily ridership, the annual total is divided by 365 days (366 in leap years), with decimals omitted from the result. Each station per line is ranked individually, as the system counts transfer stations separately. The percentage change is calculated automatically using the data from the current year and the previous year.
