Hi! I had an RFV for adding a "Stadium/Arena" type for places technically pass yesterday, but there didn't seem to be much consensus on whether to add it, and how. So I'm making a small "poll" to find out what most people would actually prefer! :)

Should we have extra place types at all?

Yes

No

Abstain

If yes, should Stadium and Arena be added as one type, or as two?

One

Two

  • --Lixobix (talk) 14:44, 25 January 2014 (UTC) There are cases where there are two separate venues in the same location, e.g. Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena.
  • 2 different things. Stadium is for outdoor sports and an arena is for indoor sports. ListMyCDs.com (talk) 19:58, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Unsure

  • I'm not really sure what the difference between them is: wikipedia:Stadium suggests we germans name our stadiums "XXX Arena" and wikipedia:Arena suggests they're sometimes used synonymously. Is the difference that Arenas have a roof over everything while Stadiums do not? --Mineo (talk) 13:55, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
    • Like ListMyCDs mentioned, I would call outdoor ones stadiums, indoor ones arenas (perhaps "indoor arena" would be a better name to use, that's what Wikipedia seems to prefer at least). Sometimes people use them interchangeably, but there are stadiums in Germany which are called "Stadion" rather than "Arena", e.g. the first two German stadiums that came to mind for me both are - wikipedia:de:Rewirpowerstadion, wikipedia:de:RheinEnergieStadion. --Nikki (talk) 15:01, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

If not, should we use Venue or Other for stadiums and arenas?
