There are a lot of huge facilities with a capacity of over 10000 that holds mixed events. For example, take a look at the pictures below that were taken in the same facility. It holds concerts, sport events, conventions, exhibitions, trade shows. What is the proper tag? We have these: But these facilities are not specifically any of these but all of these. I would say they are closest to a convention center (that doesn't seems like an existing tag) but usually those doesn't function as a sports center. Maybe an events center? But that is just a proposal.

You could start by adding
Sports venue tags could possibly co-exist with event venue tags. I would suggest Conversely, I could imagine someone tagging a smaller, local sports hall with

As Kovoschiz says events_venue is in general used for much smaller places used for weddings, bar mitzvahs etc. (29 Oct '19, 18:10) SK53 ♦ |
There is also amenity=events_venue.
amenity=events_venueis for smaller ones, and there's alsoleisure=eventsfor large outdoor ones.@UntaggedWay I'm in the same pickle. What'd you end up doing? I'm thinking I'll just use amenity=events_centre and create a wiki page for it.
@Joel Amos I ended up doing neither. I support your solution.
@Joel Amos: I'd really stick with conference or exhibition centre, which are intrinsically multi-use buildings (probably latter). The events centre tag is very much for much smaller places banqueting halls or similar (which are very common in some parts of the world: notably South Asia & in places with a substantial community of South Asian origin). The old Civic Arena in Pittsburgh was one such, albeit an oddity: originally designed for open air concerts with an orchestra, the Penguins home stadium for many years, but as a kid I only visited for exhibitions. Perhaps a useful alternative approach would be to merge all into events centre and then subtag it.
