<div dir="ltr">Could the football club be seen as the 'operator' of the stadium?

<p>I think all sports clubs should be tagged in their own right - a
node in the pitch or close to a building outline looks good to
me. club=sport looks to be designed for such.<br>
</p>
<p>Amateur/Professional to me makes no difference - tag it. There
maybe scope for am amateur/professional tag.</p>
<p>Stadiums often have their own name even though they are strongly
associated with the club in people minds. Where clubs often play
at rented grounds - e.g. council sports pitches - the club should
not be placed on the rented pitch.<br>

<div>I've noticed that many but not all league and conference
teams have their name tagged on the pitch inside their
stadium. Although <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:club%3Dsport" target="_blank">club=sport [1]</a>, sport=soccer,
name=* is tagged for a number of fairly minor teams (just over
100 [2]) I haven't spotted this being used for any of the
upper tiers of the football league. I wondered if this was
some professional/amateur distinction (I can't turn up and ask
for a game!) but the wiki page says this distinction should
not be made [1]. Is there a good reason to not remove the
names from the pitches and add them to nodes with club=sport,
etc. I'm guessing a node would generally be preferred to a way
that duplicated the stadium for example, or dual tagging on
the pitch, given that is not its name?</div>
