Our goal is to expand and improve Wikipedia's coverage of the architectural structures and venues used by sporting events. This page and its subpages contain a forum for coordinating editors' efforts and creating a coherent style across these articles. If you would like to help, sign your name on the participants list below and check out the project talk page or list of requested tasks to see how you can help.

The project is currently considering the idea of expanding the scope to cover all event venues in general. Please feel free to join the discussion on our talk page

  • A paragraph stating what the facility is, where it is and what kinds of events it hosts (if it is an arena, include concerts where applicable).
  • Information about the organizations and events that make use of the facility.
  • A history of the facility, including:
    • The planning and construction
    • Name changes (including new or changing sponsors)
    • Famous moments (including any championship events)
    • Closure and demolition of the facility
  • Any external links to official web sites of the facility
