Wembley Stadium, In 2002, the original structure was demolished and
construction began on the new stadium, originally intended to open
in 2006. This was later delayed until Spring 2007. The final
completion date of the stadium came on 9 March 2007, when the keys
to the stadium were handed over to The Football Association.
The design of the stadium is an all-seated 90,000 capacity bowl
stadium protected from the elements by a sliding roof. The
stadium's signature feature is a circular section lattice arch of 7
metre internal diameter with a 315 metre span, erected some 22° off
true, and rising to 133 metres tall. According to "Guinness World
Records 2006", the archway is the world's longest unsupported roof
structure.
A "platform system" has also been designed to convert the stadium
for athletics use, but its use decreases the stadium's capacity to
approximately 60,000.
