Many of these are a compromise, but I would expect more tags not less. 
The problem with these two are they span different 'domains' as a number 
of others do. A built structure is a 'building', and there are a range 
of structures covering seating, so grandstand, covered_seating, 
open_seating ... move the leisure tag to a more appropriate tag? In 
addition, many of these can well be temporary structures for a 
particular event but present for some time perhaps every year.
