Sportstätte vs Stadion

stadium

'das Stadion' and 'die Sportstätte' both refer to places where sports are played or shown. However, 'Stadion' means a large facility with stands, often for football, athletics, or major events. 'Sportstätte' is more general and can also be a sports hall, a swimming pool, or a tennis court. The words can be confused because a stadium is also a sports facility. But not every sports facility is a stadium. If you mean the specific large facility with spectator stands, 'Stadion' fits better.
