Wembley Stadium for London 2012 Summer Olympics
I always enjoy (and eager) to visit stadiums - these great architectural achievements are not only excellent in design, but also give the sense ‘power’ to the home crowd.
Of some sports stadium I’ve visited, I wish I can visit the all-new Wembley Stadium that will act as one of the venues for the London 2012 Summer Olympics.
Wembley Stadium facts
90.000 seats, total cost £352.603.000, sliding roof, 2 screens having the size of 600 television sets, 310 places for wheelchair users, 133 meter arch above the north stand and visible right across London, designed for football, music and rugby events, expected rugby and football visitors: 1.5 million each year, future use: Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup and World Athletics Championship (Source: staynl.com)
In my opinion, the design is very interesting - note the arch of the stadium. Not only to sports, the Wembley Stadium is important to London tourism.
If you happen to visit London, make sure you pay the new Wembley Stadium a visit.
