Morphology
The meaning 'a stadium with a dome/roof' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'domed' (having a rounded vault) with 'stadium' (a sports arena). This straightforward adjective–noun composition follows normal English compounding patterns and is cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The term domed stadium comes from the image of a dome, a large round roof, put over a stadium. That's why it means 'a stadium with a roof that protects the field and the fans from bad weather'.
