Advantages: Every trip is memorable

Disadvantages: Awful Food

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 a 360 degree view of the stadium and I was overwhelmed by the size. On my second visit I was sit in the lower tier for Live Earth and the view from this height was almost fantastic. On my third visit I was seated right near the top of the stadium which was a little disappointing but even though you are so far from the pitch the view is great.

The stadium also houses two of the biggest TV screens in the world at either end of the pitch.

There are two problems with the new stadium the first being the price of food and drink within the stadium and the second being the time it takes to get out of the stadium and to the tube station.

I have only eaten at the stadium once and you will struggle to find anything to eat for under £5 and meals can cost at least £8. For that price you should be expecting the best quailty products but much of the food is tasteless. The chips I had have been some of the worst I have ever tasted and certainly not worth anywhere near the money I paid for them.

Getting out of the stadium after can also be problematic. This has nothing to do with the stadium however and more because of the volume of people leaving at the same time. The only way to avoid problems is to check all the train times for when you want to go home and make sure you allow enough time. On my first visit it took 2 hours from leaving the stadium to get to Liverpool Street.

Okay it doesnt have the the towers which hold so many memories for generations but now the arch will give so many more generations new memories.

Summary: Do what you can to go to the stadium

I'd expect something special for what it cost to build!!

And it is only a wee bit bigger than Twickenham......

I still haven't been there yet. I haven't found a stadium with decent food either though- I think Leicester Rugby ground was the best for food I've been to.
