a new section where major events such as world cups, olympics ect can be listed? Creeperlover1000 (talk) 01:09, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That should be avoid! Events are not tenants, talk about miss information!! Govvy (talk) 21:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Information? Is that a Silicon Valley beauty contest? But seriously, this is a good idea, as many major events are regularly held in certain venues, but wouldn't be classed as "tenants" per se. BilCat (talk) 08:23, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then shouldn't that be a separate field and element altogether. If you goto Old Trafford, it is currently sitting in the Tenant field. Govvy (talk) 08:30, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's why the suggestion is to make it a separate section. Instead of a knee-jerk reaction maybe actually read the post? oknazevad (talk) 15:26, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The non-breaking space used in the "Record attendance" label restricts the width of the infobox's entire data column when the row is made active by a |record_attendance= input. This is especially detrimental in cases where the additional space taken up by this non-breaking label is sorely needed to better fit data in the infobox. No other label in this template with a similarly lengthy name has a non-breaking space, such as | label15 = Executive suites, | label37 = Construction cost, and | label43 = General contractor, so I'm confused as to why this specific label has one. Examples of how the data is presented with and without the non-breaking space in Record attendance's name are presented on the right. — AFC Vixen 🦊 13:27, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This infobox should contain an additional parameter as Named After,cause a lot of venue named after notable personality.Here is an example of M A Chidambaram Stadium,which was named after M A Chidambaram but there is no parameter to show this in this Infobox.

Per this discussion, could somebody make the change required (example) to have the red outline appear in the map? Abductive (reasoning) 07:43, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
