Galatasarays stadium is the Ali Sami Yen Stadium, not the Atatürk Olympic Stadium
Have just started page today, obviously a work in progress at the moment. Please feel free to add to list. If possible capacity figure should be taken from official club or stadium website. If there isnt an official site accurate and up to date figures can be found at fussballtempel.net Willy turner 16:38, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I have now deleated the section at the top of the page List of football (soccer) stadiums by country, which covered stadiums with over 80,000 capacity. That information has been updated and is now on this page. Willy turner 05:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I have been including all stadiums at which football (soccer) is normally played at least once every year. Hence the inclusion of Melbourne Cricket Ground, Giants Stadium etc. If anyone feels this is wrong please leave your thoughts here. Willy turner 02:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I understand what youre saying, but the topic of what is or isnt a football stadium is ambigious. Theres a grey area because some stadiums only rarely have football played at them, and are much better known for having a different sport played there. But they can still reasonably be described as football grounds, because football is played there. There could always be an argument about what to include. I feel including all stadiums that are normally used for football by a club or national team at least once a year is the best criteria. I have removed Croke Park from the list because it is not normally used for football at least once a year. It is being used by the Irish footballl team only temporarily Willy turner 01:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Croke Park should not be included on this page. The stadium has been in use since 1884 & has never staged a soccer match to date. Under exceptional circumstances, soccer will temporarily be played at Croke Park while Landsdowne Rd is being redeveloped. This arrangement is strictly temporary. With these facts in mind, how anyone can consider Croke Park to be a soccer stadium is beyond me. Consequently, I shall (hopefully permenantly) remove from it from this page.
How about renaming this article to "List of sports stadiums by capacity" and removeing the "football(soccer)" requirement? Virtually all stadiums outside of the the US are designed to allow football(soccer) to be played.
Is the North Korean stadium a true football(soccer) stadium, or simply a venue where footbal(soccer) is played?
By the way, the FIFA Women's World Cup was played at the Rose Bowl with 90,185 in attendance. user:mnw2000 17:39, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
That way we could have articles such as:
Sports venues that were designed for both baseball and football could be on both lists.
Excuse my US examples, but this type of listing would be easier to determine (and wouldn't change) than the current list that leaves out such significant sports venues like the Rose Bowl or Michigan Stadium but includes venues whose use for sports is limited.

It seems there has been a lot of disagreement over the inclusion of Croke Park. Croke Park, while not a football/soccer stadium, does currently, albeit temporarily, host the Rep. of Ireland national team. To me, Croke Park should be included because of this fact. In 2009, when the agreement to host non-GAA events at the stadium retires, it can be taken off the list.
Instead of discussing the specifics of Croke Park (and other stadiums such as Murrayfield and Qwest Field that this criteria could apply to), lets come to some consensus as to exactly what stadiums should be included. Here are my proposed criteria:
Given those criteria, Croke Park should be included because of criteria 2. Murrayfield would also be included because of criteria 1. Qwest Field would fail all three because the US does not have a national stadium that a majority of matches are played at and the Seattle Sounders don't play in the highest level.
Please respond if you argee or don't agree with the proposed criteria. Patken4 22:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
The Cordoba Stadium Chateau Carreras isn't for Talleres de Cordoba. It's for all teams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.137.11.241 (talk) 19:39, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
I was doubtful about the claim that MCG can hold 160,000 in the main article. I followed the link to the MCG website and it says quite clearly that capacity is 100,000. The article needs editing. I don't really have the skills to do it but I sid want to point out that there was a problem with the accuracy of the main article.

I can understand that it was used by the FAI momentarily, but since the Aviva Stadium is complete, we should remove it (unless the Republic of Ireland and Wales win the UEFA Euro 2020 bid).--Kanzler31 (talk) 00:57, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Leeds United's Elland Road has a capacity of 39,460. Why is it on the list? I can see how Hillsborough Stadium's 39,812 could be rounded up to 40,000, but in that case, Elland Road has an approximate capacity closer to 39,000 or 39,500. And on this list Elland Road ranks higher than Hillsborough, there is no logic to this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.77.195 (talk) 00:36, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
By definition, a stadium that has a running track is an athletics stadium, not a football stadium, despite the fact that football is played there. If you want to make a list of major football stadiums, you should not include athletic stadiums. It would be interesting not mix two different types of stadium and to designate both as the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rugbya15 (talk • contribs) 13:24, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Salt Lake Stadium officially holds 120,000 people, but the article is based on "seated capacity". Only a small fraction of Salt Lake Stadium has actual seats, and in order to fit anywhere near 120k they have a lot of people standing. I believe this stadium therefore does not belong at the top of the list, unless we change the basis from being "seated" capacity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.23.214.4 (talk) 01:30, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
100,000 was the old number before they installed seats in the lower tier. It is currently 90,000 and will drop again when they install actual seats in the upper tier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.23.214.4 (talk) 22:54, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
The largest stadium used for football is Rungnado May Day Stadium in North Korea, which has a capacity of 150,000 seated. How can this not be on the page already? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rungnado_May_Day_Stadium Cerumol2 (talk) 06:25, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
In this edition, two mentioned stadiums (Sahand Stadium (#35) and Yadegar-e Emam Stadium (#49)) are the same, though it's been counted twice. Iranianson (talk) 05:11, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

This list is incredibly long, probably too long for wikipedia. I suggest removing the images for each stadium, and instead have a gallery section which has images of the more notable stadiums. Additionally, I suggest reducing the list to maybe either the top 100 stadiums, or perhaps stadiums with only at least say 50,000? Adding these parameters will move this list from dynamic to complete status. Idiosincrático (talk) 12:33, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
University stadiums in the USA typically do not host association football matches. If these are to be included, this list is missing Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The home of the Louisiana State University football team seats 102,321 making it 6th on this list. 2601:584:4401:3380:0:0:0:A740 (talk) 19:24, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
