Using the most up-to-date technology, it is the first stadium in the world that can seat 90,000 people under full cover. With its sliding roof, first-class pitch and excellent seats, the work of these architects has resulted in a stadium that can host a number of sporting and musical events, providing each spectator with a unique and enjoyable experience.
Although there were initial worries that the new stadium would not measure up to the original, the new Wembley has proved to be everything the original was and much more; it has been revealed that there is more leg room in every seat of the new stadium than there was in the Royal Box of the original!
The most visually dramatic part of the new stadium is the Arch, which towers 330 feet (100 metres) above ground and is the longest single roof structure in the world. The 1033 feet (315 metre) roof is visible from miles around and has quickly become an iconic feature of the London skyline.
Outside the new stadium is another icon: England football legend Bobby Moore. He captained the England football team which won the football World Club in 1966. Moore's statue, measuring an impressive twenty feet (six metres), stands proudly in front of the main entrance looking down Wembley Way.
Considering Moore's spectacular triumph at Wembley in 1966, his statue seems to be an appropriate reminder of what great things have happened at Wembley and, perhaps, a suggestion of what great things to come.
