[Tagging] building=stands or building=grandstand?

[Volker Schmidt]

I fear we have been a bit too quick.
It looks as if stands and grandstand are different terms for seating around
a sports pitch.
The Wikipedia page "Stadium" refers several times to "stands" when it talks
about seating in a stadium. And the Wikpedia page "Bleacher" is about
"bleachers or stands", stating that these are US-English terms for basic
seating facilities around sports pitches
A "grandstand" is a grand stand according to Wikipedia.
Also an indication: a Google image search for "cricket, stands" shows a
number photos that I would have tagged as grandstands in OSM.
In essence, it looks as if "stands" is the more generic term and hence
should not be discouraged.
