Stadiums, stats & practical facts.
Every capacity, traced to the source that published it.
Capacities, away sections and the practical detail of getting into a ground — attributed, dated, and marked according to whether anyone has actually opened the page it came from.
Rankings
Every ground in the datasets appears on one of these, whether or not it has a page of its own.
- Premier League stadiums All twenty grounds for 2026/27, ranked — including the two sourced from someone other than the resident club.
- Largest stadiums in Europe Wembley leads at 90,000, not Camp Nou, which is operating at 62,652 during rebuilding.
- Biggest stadiums in the world The largest venue on earth is a cricket ground, and twelve of the top twenty are American college stadiums.
- Largest stadiums in the USA Eight of America's ten biggest belong to universities rather than professional franchises.
Stadium pages
21 grounds are written up in full. A stadium gets a page only where the club or venue publishes enough to say something a reader cannot get from the club's own site — otherwise it stays a row on a ranking, which is the honest place for it.

Guides
The things worth understanding once, rather than looking up per ground.
- Stadium capacity explained Why two sources print different numbers for one ground and both are right.
- Stadium seating and sections Blocks, away ends, safe standing, and why the accessible entrance is often not the one on your ticket.
- Stadium tours and tickets Away tickets come from your own club, and tours stop on days you would not expect.
How the figures are sourced
Only official sources: the stadium's own site, the resident club's, or the body that owns it. Not Wikipedia, not stadium databases, not aggregators. Where two figures disagree, both are shown with their publishers rather than averaged or quietly resolved.
Each page states whether its sources were verified — someone opened the cited page and read the figure off it — or merely accepted from research. Many still say accepted, and they say so at the top rather than in a footnote.
