A building=grandstand is the building type for the main stand, usually roofed, commanding the best view for spectators at racecourses or sports grounds. It may have changing rooms or restaurants etc. under the seating area. It can be used within leisure=sports_centre, leisure=stadium or building=stadium to show the location of particular areas of seating.

How to map

Draw the outline area of the grandstand and add building=grandstand.

Examples

Possible tagging mistakes

Please avoid using building=stand(s), as it is ambiguous and can mean anything from a bandstand, taxi stand, market stand, to stadium stands.

They have been introduced without appropriate definition, thus it is unclear what the original mappers had intended:
