Source-derived summary

Shaanxi Province Stadium (Chinese: 陕西省体育场), also known as Zhuque Stadium (Chinese: 朱雀体育场) because it is located near Zhuque Square (朱雀广场), is a multi-use stadium in Xi'an, China. It is used mainly for football matches and athletics events. The stadium had a capacity of 50,100 people, but a renovation in 2020 reduced it to 43,000. It was named Coca-Cola Stadium (Chinese: 可口可乐体育场) from 2005 to 2007.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Shaanxi Province Stadium” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Shaanxi, Province and Stadium provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3272603. Authority coordinates are 34.234, 108.938. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020, 2005 and 2007.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
