leisure=stadium is appropriate for these? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dstadium Dan 2014-02-01 SK53 sk53@gmail.com: Today whilst moving bugs over from OpenStreetBugs I noticed that the Silverstone GP circuit is tagged leisure=sports_centre and Huntingdon Racecourse is tagged with leisure=track. Whereas it is true that Silverstone is a centre for a sport, my understanding is that leisure=sports_centre is usually used to map buildings, usually run by councils, which offer a range of facilities for different sports. Associated playing fields are usually mapped as leisure=recreation_ground. Similarly leisure=track is comprehensible to me, but would not make sense to any automated processing of tag values. I've muttered before about how extending the meaning of a tag usually degrades the tags value. In this case indiscriminate use of sports_centre means that OSM no longer becomes suitable for examining things like access to sports facilites by the general public. The other thing that this highlights is the potential need for a generic landuse type tag for areas devoted to some sporting purpose. I've noted this before in the US where people have taken to marking the in-bound areas of a ski resort with leisure=recreation_ground.

I agree with Phil, stadium is stretching the point too.

A stadium implies an area surrounded by grandstands, which may be appropriate in the US for NASCAR circuits, but not really for the open circuits we have in the UK. I believe that Silverstone is also an active airfield.
