Participating in, watching it, or reading about it. So I claim no expertise in all this. However, the distinction that occurs to me is this. A sports centre has several (at least two) distinct areas in which different sports activities can occur simultaneously. It might be tennis, soccer and chess, or three separate soccer games, or whatever. Somewhere like a village hall or even a leisure centre might have a sports hall within it: it's not a sports centre but it has an area dedicated to one or more sports. It might even have more than one sports hall, but it's not a sports centre because it does non-sport things too (like maybe show films, as several village halls near me do). Something along those lines is about the only reason I can see for having both tags. Thinking about it, a sports centre could have several sports halls mapped within it if you wanted to map it to that level of detail. Or maybe I'm completely wrong. In which case, carry on arguing. -- Paul
