Warin,
Tom did not totally remove the reference to "building=stands", it is
listed as discouraged on the new "building=grandstand" Wiki page.
As to "building=grandstand", although undocumented, I have seen this
used on exactly the type of structure Tom included. Of course, the
difference as to what constitutes a full stadium and / or just a
grandstand is a bit vague, and users to some extent use them
interchangeably. But in general, I have seen two uses:
- Used on a single "building=grandstand" that was the only feature
around a playing field
- Used on individual sections of a full concentric "building=stadium",
or multiple disjunct "building=grandstand" features surrounding the
playing field.
As I wrote in my first post, the tag itself is at least 4 years old, and
maybe much longer. Just needed documentation, as Tom now did. Thanks Tom!
*** Tom, just one other remark:***
In the "Tagging mistakes" section, you referenced "building=stand",
which also exists according to the TagInfo table next to it, but the
original new tag I saw was "building=stands(!)" so plural
(https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=building%3Dstands). I think
you need to include this second discouraged tag as well... Currently,
"building=stands" has even more uses (244) then "building=stand" (85)
