hey now i know the ans. but for extra information may i know, what would be the ans if the ques said : What would you say is its minimum capacity, instead of : What would you say is its maximum capacity.

Answer 26

minimum capacity is always 0...
which means the stadium is empty ....so they'll never ask about min capacity :)
