Smallest stadium in EPL

According to the TV commentators on the season opener yesterday August 8, this is the smallest stadium to host an EPL game. But it's a bit hard to document that, at least here in the US Midwest. It surely is the smallest stadium currently in the EPL, but is it the smallest ever? Wschart (talk) 16:22, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

With Luton getting promoted yesterday, not any more! :) The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 11:31, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dean Court → Vitality Stadium – The stadium's current name is the "Vitality Stadium", not "Dean Court". Furthermore, football fans across the world know the stadium as the "Vitality Stadium", and not "Dean Court". Alt4ies (talk) 14:15, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - we do not use sponsored names for football (soccer) stadiums. Giant Snowman 18:47, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:NOTADVERTISING. Also, the current sponsor name is a clear WP:RECENTISM, when it's had multiple historic sponsor names, and most of the stadium's history, it's been known exclusively as Dean Court. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:01, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Similar discussions typically have the same result as expected when it comes to sponsors. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 16:53, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It has long been held as policy that where a stadium has had a non-sponsored name, we would always use that over any sponsored name. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 11:30, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
