About Wembley Stadium

Stay in Wembley aims to provide practical information for visitors to events at Wembley Stadium and The Wembley Arena, including what's on listings, places to eat, travel and parking info, and an accommodation guide.

The turnstiles of the new Wembley Stadium turned for the first time on 17 March 2007 when 60,000 local residents came to 'road test' the facilities prior the relaunch of Britain's premier events venue.

24 March 2007 saw the first football fixture, England vs Italy under 21s. All 60,000 tickets sold out within hours. On 9 June 2007 George Michael played to a crowd of 90,000, marking the venue's first music event.

The construction of the new stadium was frought with controversy, going over budget and timetable by a considerable margin, and many people wondered whether it would ever be finished. However, that's now in the past. The new venue is safer, more comfortable and bigger than the old one, and an even more impressive landmark to boot.
