How it's measured

Each measure is a percentile rank among GoalPost's 222 stadium pages, and the stature is their average. Major finals: a World Cup, European Championship or Champions League final counts three; a Copa América, Copa Libertadores, Europa League or Club World Cup final two; a Conference League, Copa Sudamericana, Africa Cup of Nations, Asian Cup or Gold Cup final one; a final over two legs is shared between its grounds, and a ground built on an older one's site counts from its own opening (the old Wembley's finals are not the new one's). Big nights: continental club and national-team matches since July 2021, from GoalPost's archive. Home club: the best GoalPost Rating (GPR) among the clubs that play here. This season's matches are shown, not ranked.
