From the leisure=stadium discussion page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:leisure%3Dstadium#Do_stands_count_as_a_building.3F
Looks like 'stands' may be seating without a roof. I have tagged some
smaller areas with the bench tag ...would be tedious to do this for a
lager area.
It may be derived from the old cheapest entry to a sports facility that
had no seats - you stood thus described as 'stands'.
It had no building - just a sloped surface.

Warin,
Tom did not totally remove the reference to "building=stands", it is
listed as discouraged on the new "building=grandstand" Wiki page.
As to "building=grandstand", although undocumented, I have seen this
used on exactly the type of structure Tom included. Of course, the
difference as to what constitutes a full stadium and / or just a
grandstand is a bit vague, and users to some extent use them
interchangeably. But in general, I have seen two uses:
- Used on a single "building=grandstand" that was the only feature
around a playing field
- Used on individual sections of a full concentric
"building=stadium", or multiple disjunct "building=grandstand"
features surrounding the playing field.
Possibly 'stadium' needs to be resolved with 'grandstand'.
If the 'stadium' is simple a joined 'grandstand' them possibly
'stadium' needs to be discouraged?
Humm
The 'stadium' wikipedia definition includes the playing area (the
pitch/track) so it is not just a building.
My dictionary says it even includes the parking area. Another reason
to discourage 'stadium'.
As I wrote in my first post, the tag itself is at least 4 years old,
and maybe much longer. Just needed documentation, as Tom now did.
Thanks Tom!
*** Tom, just one other remark:***
In the "Tagging mistakes" section, you referenced "building=stand",
which also exists according to the TagInfo table next to it, but the
original new tag I saw was "building=stands(!)" so plural
(https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=building%3Dstands). I
think you need to include this second discouraged tag as well...
Currently, "building=stands" has even more uses (244) then
"building=stand" (85)
And possibly now "building=stadium"?

Object.
No contact with mappers using that value.
The usage was discouraged for this purpose, neither forbidden nor
deprecated.
No tagging in the database was changed (by myself).
Yet the wiki reference was totally removed from the wiki.
I think leaving the mention of it on the wiki, but putting a line
through it and placing comments on the wiki discussion page would be
better way of discouragement. That is the way I have seen it done
for discouragement in the past.
I think the removal may be provocation to an edit war?
Before the removal it said ...
"A big tribunes. " and showed the same photo as stadium.
So possibly 'stands' is 'stadium' rather than 'grandstand'.
