Stadium capacity wrong on team API, but correct on venue API

Everton's new Hill Dickinson stadium capacity is 52,888. /lookupteam returns 40,157 which is their old stadium Goodison Park's capacity (but does show correct venue name) https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/123/lookupteam.php?id=133615 /searchvenues correctly returns 52,888 https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/123/searchvenues.php?v=Hill%20Dickinson I guess my question is are they not in sync with each other? Thanks

Thanks I think this is a remnant of when stadium capacities used to be edited through the team page. It really should be removed from that end point and a separate lookup to the venue data required.
