Method

How was this ranking built?

We sort by recorded capacity the Brazilian stadiums that have this field filled in and at least 10 matches in our database.

Recorded capacity required. A stadium without recorded capacity is excluded. We do not estimate, round or replace a missing number with a dash.
At least 10 matches. This is the same floor used on stadium pages, so every row links to a page that exists.
Not the definitive list of the country. This is the ranking of the 237 stadiums meeting both criteria. Venues outside our coverage do not appear, even if they are large.
Capacity comes from the provider. It may differ from the official capacity after construction, renovations or recent reports.
