How we picked
Ranking weighed lights, toilets and parking first, then the number of fields, grass or synthetic surface and ground size. Those three basics were the details most grounds gave, so they set the order, and size and surface only break ties. Empty cells mean the detail is unconfirmed, so they don't count against a ground.
