These empty trains can be quickly primed for service in between normal service to help move crowds out of the area in minimal time. I guess it's possible to provide even more storage tracks if the stadium capacity demands it, in the way you mention.

That's true, there wouldn't be a need for any additional infrastructure. I think I was thinking about the proposal back in the day when it was gonna be at the location of the PPS building and it had a proposal for a light rail station attached to the system in the stadium.
