The grounds

Made by pnpm grounds from scripts/grounds.data.json and scripts/grounds.editions.json; do not edit by hand. 64 grounds, 42 with a published pitch size and 22 drawn at the default 105 by 68 m. Every figure is a fact read from the English Wikipedia article named in NOTICE.md at the revision named there (the pitch from its infobox), the coordinates are Wikidata's (CC0), and the tournaments are read from the venue sections of the tournaments' articles, also listed there. Each ground in GROUNDS has its city and country, its Wikidata item and coordinates, the names it had with their years (year picks one: groundNameIn), its name in the place's language and in Japanese, the years it was open, its capacity, the World Cups it staged and the article and revision each fact was read from. drawKyogijo({ sport: "soccer", ground }) draws the pitch at the size in the Pitch column. WC is the men's World Cup, WWC the Women's; only the grounds of this list are named, so a tournament's other venues are not here.

Names#

A ground has the name people use and every other name it answers to, each with where it was read.

• name is the everyday name in English, the one English sports media use (Groupama Stadium, San Siro, Etihad Stadium), with the current sponsor's name where that is what people say. It is not always the title of the article that was cited: that title is an alias.
• nameJa is the everyday name in Japanese, as Japanese media say it (日産スタジアム, サン・シーロ, マラカナン), and readingJa its reading in kana wherever it has kanji (にっさんスタジアム).
• localName and localLanguage are the everyday name in the language of the place (San Siro, it; Maracanã, pt; a ground of an English-speaking place has none).
• names are the names the ground had for some years, as before; groundNameIn(ground, year) picks the one of a year, and the everyday name follows them where one covers the year.
• aliases are the others, { name, lang, kind, from?, to?, source?, revision? }. kind is wikipedia (the title of a cited article, with its revision: no citation is lost), official (what the owner or operator calls it, when that is not the everyday name), sponsor (a naming-rights name), former or nickname; from and to are the years a source gives, and source says where the name was read (an article and its revision, or a Wikidata item and property).
• groundByName(name) (and groundsByName, the others that answer too) finds a ground by any of these names, in English, Japanese or the place's language, ignoring case, accents, spaces and punctuation, full-width and half-width, hiragana and katakana and the long vowel mark: groundByName("サンシーロ") and groundByName("Meazza Stadium") are both san-siro. The atlas search reads them too.
• A drawing is titled with the everyday name in its language and, where the official name is another, says so in its description (Its official name is Parc Olympique Lyonnais., 正式名称はパルク・オリンピック・リヨンです。).

Where the everyday name is not the title of the article that was cited (names that are not in this table are the titles):
