[edit] Capacity vs. record attendance

Given that the name given to the article and the ordering is capacity, as well as being the most objective measure; the ranking should be by the official seating capacity and not the record crowd. There's no way to know how the number for a record attendance/crowd is arrived at, nor is it appropriate to describe the stadium by that number if it's only achieved on a single occasion by the use of temporary stands or other measures.

[edit] Why Just NFL and NCAA?

What about including the arena teams and the like? Also if there are any stadiums that are not in use currently but still usable. This just includes currently used NFL and NCAA stadiums. Just some suggestions. Fleetflame (talk) 03:57, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• No arena would be able to fit the 40,000 capacity limit and listing them would be too long and redundant. For a list of indoor arenas, see List of indoor arenas in the United States. As for stadiums not currently used for football but can be, I can't think of any. A lot of the older stadiums that were used have been taken down. We do have List of stadiums by capacity. Perhaps one day I'll start on one for historical stadiums with a capacity greater than 100,000. Patken4 (talk) 22:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
