How this list is built
Capacity is each venue's official seating capacity for its main sport, taken from the team or venue's own page, or the stadium's Wikipedia infobox where the official page gives none. Each figure links to its source. Standing room, temporary seats and record crowds are not counted. Opening year is the year the current stadium first hosted its main tenant. The list covers stadiums that host FBS and FCS home games; capacity is the school's official figure for football. Figures are checked against the source each month; if you spot an outdated number, the source link beside it shows where it came from.
