This post continues the fine rgt tradition of rotating quizzes.

You will find below a list of 20 of the world's largest stadia, along with their ranking in the list (according to my good friends at Wikipedia) and current, permanent capacity. You simply have to name which country each one is located in. Note that I will NOT accept UK or Britain- you need to be more specific than that. Answers may repeat. You have 7 days to post your entry.

Good luck, and no hitting below the belt.

I started to fill in the cities of the stadiums I knew, before I read
the instructions more closely, so I kept the city names for these.
