Facilities
Canadian athletic facilities are often listed by their "maximum capacity", which is often an estimate of their largest recorded crowd in the facility. These maximum capacities can and often do include standing room patrons and attendees seated on grass surrounding a playing field. Seated Capacity is the actual number of permanent seats, be they grandstands or permanently in use bleachers. This is why you will sometimes see larger capacities listed for these sites when searching for them on line. When capacity numbers have mismatched on source sites, unless the larger capacity could be confirmed as a seated capacity, the smaller capacity number has been listed here.
Please update with verified "seated capacities" only when the institutions release more accurate official seated capacities.

Moncton has built a new 10,000-seat on-campus stadium designed in part to host football. It is unclear if the University will be adding the sport.
(*Saint Mary's Huskies Stadium has a listed capacity of 9000, but the accuracy of this as a fixed seated capacity is questionable. Articles have suggested that permanent seating is only 4000, but note that temporary seating can get the capacity up to 9-11,000. Additionally, attendees often sit on the grass and the grassy areas are likely included in this official capacity of 9000. Seated capacity would only refer to the grandstands and any permanent seats or bleachers.)

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on the intentions of the Creator. But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
