Number signs (#) indicate that the diagrams for that stadium are subject to revision.
Note that the classifications of stadiums are based on the primary intended use in the stadium's FINAL configuration, if there were major modifications.
Stadiums are generally counted as "in use" by a football team for a particular decade if games were played there for at least three years.
Names used on this page are the ones normally used for most of the time during which the stadium was used for football, and may differ from the "standard" names at the top of the respective stadium pages.
* (ASTERISK): There was some irregularity or discontinuity in the usage of the stadium; see the particular stadium page for details.
CFL = Canadian Football League, eh?
