Wembley Stadium Description

Wembley Stadium, the "mecca of national and international football", is situated in North London, on a site which was laid out from 1920 onwards for the British Empire Exhibition. The all-seater stadium, which can accommodate some 80,000 spectators following a £60 million re-development program, was inaugurated in 1923 after taking scarcely a year to build. At the opening match more than 200,000 people thronged the arena and the terraces. Since that time Wembley Stadium, which was spared from demolition in 1927, has been the scene of great sporting occasions.

Wembley Stadium is also the venue for rock music concerts, and hosts Grayhound Racing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
