The important part of that past talk thread was the question as to changing the 
wiki grandstand definition to say that it must have a roof rather than usually 
has a roof.

Unfortunately both the Oxford Dictionary and Wikipedia say 'usually roofed'.

So what 'grandstands' have no roof???

And then how are they distinguished from 'bleachers'???

You asked the exact same question in April 2018 on the tagging mailing

I like the response Philip Barnes gave you back then:

bleachers = open structures, without walls, grandstands with walls,
roofs and often for professional sports.

I think we should choose the correct one andadd warning moving mappers to the 
proper one on OSM Wiki.

Building=grandstand is not perfect for me, beacuse building=* tag suggest that is some 
kind of typical building (with walls, roof, etc.) and most of the OSM styles render 
building=grandstand like every other buildings, where you can go inside, which may be 
confusing with grandstands areas. On the other hand we have leisure=bleachers , when the 
"bleachers" word is propably used only in USA.

What do you think about it?
