All Sports and Recreation Venues

A building whose own recorded description identifies it as a stadium, arena or dedicated athletic or aquatics venue, built to host sporting competition, athletic training or a large indoor or outdoor spectator event rather than a theatrical, musical or exhibition program. This group gathers stadiums, multi-purpose arenas and aquatics centers named directly as such in their own description, distinguishing the type from a concert hall or theater built for a musical or dramatic program, and from a generic arena or amphitheater vocabulary entry describing the building type in the abstract rather than naming one specific real venue.
