Wembley - Sport - Stadiums
The new Wembley stadium is amazing. There's no doubt about it. As you approach it on foot, it looks like some kind of space station. Amazing. The atmosphere at last nights England vs. USA game was great (even though the standard of play was pretty terrible). A few facts and stats for the nerds on Qype -
1. The arch is 133m at its highest point and is made up of 500 steel
2. There are 90,000 seats in Wembley Stadium
3. The stadium has a circumference of 1 km.
4. The London Eye could fit between the top of the arch and the pitch.
5. Each of the two giant screens in new stadium is the size of 600 domestic television sets.
6. There will be 2000 toilets - which WNSL estimate is more than any other building in the world.
7. There is more leg room in EVERY seat in the new Wembley Stadium than there was in the Royal Box of the old stadium
8. It is a ROYAL pain in the arse to get to and from Wembley stadium if you live in south London. Last night it took me 2 hours from Wembley to Clapham North.
Sorry, Wembley.... you lose one star for being "in Wembley". If you were built on Clapham Common i would have given you 6 stars :)
