Morphology
The phrase is a simple adjective+noun combination where 'covered' (protected by a layer) modifies 'stadium' (a venue), so the meaning 'a stadium with a roof or shelter' is directly and predictably derived from its parts. This compositional pattern is common across languages and not idiomatic, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand it.
Etymology
Covered stadium comes from the simple idea of a stadium being covered by a roof so that crowds and players stay dry and warm when the weather is bad. So, it means 'a stadium with a roof that protects people from the weather'.
