Canadian pro sports venues: capacity and tenants
Seating capacity and tenant franchise(s) for every venue hosting a Canadian NHL, CFL, NBA, MLB or MLS team, sourced from each venue's own Wikipedia page or team-site capacity figure. A distance-to-nearest-land-based-casino column was planned but dropped: we could not source a clean, consistent, independently verifiable distance figure for all 18 venues in this pass, and estimating from a map rather than a published source would fail our no-fabrication policy — so this dataset keeps capacity and tenancy only, which is cleanly sourceable for every row.
