Where the numbers come from

Every figure on Stadium Atlas is read from the English Wikipedia article of the stadium: the capacity in its infobox, the opening year, the coordinates and the categories that record World Cup or Olympic use. Stadiums enter the site through Wikipedia's capacity lists, and only those that are open today and hold at least 10,000 are kept. How we count explains each rule and lists what was left out.
