Proposal

I believe this article should be divided up by state. Also, this will create the ability to add more arenas to this page, including those below a 5,000 capacity. Wjenkins96 ( talk) 20:51, 4 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Suggestion: Compile Into One List

In my opinion, this page should not have more than one list but rather one continuous list of all American arenas. Municipally-owned and privately-owned arenas should not get their own list separated from the college basketball list. I was thinking about spending a couple of hours merging everything into one list, but I want input before I go to all that trouble. Thanks. Wjenkins96 ( talk) 00:35, 22 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Split?

This list is enormous. It also arguably covers more than one topic, so both a size split and a content split should probably be considered. There are several bare-bones proposals to do this in the archives, perhaps a more detailed one is in order, so here it goes:

  • Current size = 177,487 bytes

current topics covered

  • largest municipal and privately owned arenas in the United States by seating capacity
  • Future projects in this category
  • Former arenas in this category
  • largest university-owned sports arenas in the United States by seating capacity
  • largest university-owned sports arenas in the United States by seating capacity, below 10,000 capacity
  • future projects in this category

Possible splitting strategies

  • Split off the university list
  • Split off future/former arenas
  • Split by state or region
  • Split each section into a seperate list
  • Something else?

Any one of these could also be accompanied by a WP:SETINDEX page for organization. Thoughts? Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 16:50, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

My opinion: Compile all the current arenas listed into one "super list." This would include all privately-owned, municipal, and university arenas of all sizes, as long as they seat at least 1,000 spectators (exceptions apply for the three NCAA Division I arenas with a capacity below 1,000). Alternatively, they could be split by state. The former idea would probably be easier. Wjenkins96 ( talk) 06:38, 27 May 2024 (UTC) reply
This is how a state-split would look for Florida: User:Wjenkins96/sandbox. Wjenkins96 ( talk) 07:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC) reply
I think each section/table should be split into new articles as there is merit in the content with this presentation. The article with this name should be a general list. However, as that list will be very large, I agree that I would be better to organize it by state. States with more areanas would probably need to be split into their own articles, linked to this article with the main article template. You don't need to wait for a concensus to proceed with this project. The lack of responses to this and the above suggestions indicates that no one is territorial about this article.
