Wembley Stadium (London)

My first view of Wembley Stadium was coming out of Wembley Park tube station and my first impression was one of sheer amazement. I have been to the stadium 3 times now twice for gigs and once to watch the NFL and every time it has been an amazing experience. The stadium is huge and dwarfs all other stadiums in the country and at 90,000 seats is the largest stadium in the world with every seat under cover. Every seat has more leg room than the previous seats in the royal box so you can sit in comfort the entire time you are there. On my first visit I saw Muse and was lucky enough to get standing tickets so got the view of standing on the pitch with ...  Read the complete review

Why did it cost so much money?

As a 15 year old girl visiting Wembley for the first time apart from the match the biggest thing that has implanted in my memory was walking down Wembley Way with the other fans and ...  Read the complete review

Wembley Stadium, one of he most Iconic phrases you're likely to hear in the world of football, images of the old Towers, of Moore lifting the Jules Rimet and of FA Cup finals of yesteryear. Since the decision to demolish and then rebuild Wembley alot of people had been skeptical, costs and delays ensued as with most british new builds, but eventually Wembley was complete, was it worht the wait, you can only truly decide for yourselfs but for me yes, lets take a look why. The Stadium Itself With a capacity of 90,000 and every seat being covered by roof, Wembley boasts one of the largest capacities in Europe. Designed in a bowl shape the ...  Read the complete review
