Wembley 2007 - Fa cup or cl final ?
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2006 3:20 pmIf you had to choose between the FA cup final or the CL final at the end of this season ,what would you go for ?
Now that Wembley is apparently back on track , and the projections look fantastic ,I think i'd sacrife a CL final berth for a historic appearance at the new Wembley . (we beat Arsenal 3.2
)
With 90,000 seats, the new Wembley will be the largest football stadium in the world with every seat under cover (but not THE largest in the world.) There will be NO unobstructed views.
It has a circumference of 1 kilometre.
The London Eye, the world's largest ferris wheel, could fit between the top of the arch and the pitch.
The rows of seating, if placed end to end, would stretch 54 kilometres.
With a span of 315 metres, the arch will be the longest single span roof structure in the world.
The new Wembley is expected to cost a staggering £750m, making it the most expensive sporting arena in the world.
It will seat 90,000 and will have a 'triumphant arch' to replace the Twin Towers.
Leg room is greatly increased and now measures more than was given in the Royal Box in the old stadium.
On a clear day, the arch will be seen from the Canary Wharf, Europe's tallest skyscraper, 13 kilometres away.
A representative from every county of England was involved in the construction of the arch, to ensure no part of England feels left out!
The arch is made of British steel.
Because the arch is so high it is being fitted with a special beacon acting as a warning to low-flying planes. Wembley is the only stadium in the world to have such a beacon
