Sorted by playing area. Select a column heading to re-sort.

Two kinds of figure in this table. 8 of these 11 grounds were measured here from satellite imagery; the other 3 are figures published by the ground or its governing body.

The two are not measured to quite the same edge of the field, so a satellite-measured ground and a published one can look closer in size than they really are. Comparing grounds of the same kind is sound. Comparing across the two is not, until every ground has been re-measured on one basis — work that is under way.
