Wembley stadium
Wembley Stadium is a stadium in Wembley, located in the Borough of Brent in North West London, England. It is owned by The Football Association (FA) via its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Limited, and its primary use is for home games of the England national football team, and the main English domestic football finals. It is also used for pop concerts and other sporting events.
With 90,000 seats the stadium has the second largest capacity in Europe, and is the largest stadium in the world with every seat under cover. Immediately following its opening, it was often referred to as the "new Wembley Stadium" to distinguish it from the original stadium. The stadium is also the most expensive stadium ever built.
In 2003, the original structure of stadium was demolished and construction began on the new stadium, originally intended to open in 2006. This was later delayed until early 2007. The final completion date of the stadium was 9 March 2007, when the keys to the stadium were handed over to the FA.
Wembley was designed by architects HOK Sport and Foster and Partners with engineers Mott MacDonald, built by Multiplex and funded by Sport England, WNSL (Wembley National Stadium Limited), the Football Association, the Department for Culture Media and Sport and the London Development Agency. It is the most expensive stadium ever built at a cost of £798 million (roughly US$1.57 billion) and has the largest roof-covered seating capacity in the world.
The structure of stadium
• The stadium contains 2,618 toilets, more than any other venue in the world.
• The stadium has a circumference of 1 km (0.6 mi).
• At its peak, there were more than 3,500 construction workers on site.
• 4,000 separate piles form the foundations of the new stadium, the deepest of which is 35 m (115 ft).
• There are 56 km (35 miles) of heavy-duty power cables in the stadium.
• 90,000 m³ (120,000 cu yds) of concrete and 23,000 tonnes (25,000 short tons) of steel were used in the construction of the new stadium.
• The total length of the escalators is 400 m (¼ mi).
The first mathes
• The first match at the stadium was a behind closed doors friendly between Multiplex and Wembley Stadium staff.
• The first football game was Geoff Thomas Foundation Charity XI and the Wembley Sponsors Allstars on 17 March. The Geoff Thomas Foundation Charity XI won 2-0 (scorers Mark Bright and Simon Jordan). The first person to score at the new stadium was Mark Bright.
• The first official match involving professional players staged at the new stadium was England U21s vs Italy U21s on 24 March 2007, which finished 3-3. Official attendance was 55,700 (although all of the 60,000 tickets that were made available were sold in advance). This now stands as the record for the largest under-21 attendance ever.
Wembley stadium is the biggest stadium on our planet and the most interesting.

Story by billfan

Unreal story

This history has occurred in London. Once in the evening some students of one of colleges had supper at restaurant on the occasion of the termination of academic year and the beginning of a vacation. Conversation has come about, whether the life after death proceeds or all stops, as soon as our body dies. Opinions, certainly, were divided. And then friends have made each other the promise that that from them who will depart in the world other the first, necessarily will appear and will inform, whether there is something "behind a coffin" or not. Cheerfully laughing, young men have sworn each other "if something happens" to arrive so. The summer has flown by imperceptibly, and the same company of students has gathered at restaurant this time to celebrate again the study beginning. All had an excellent appetite, the meal and а hard liquor instantly disappeared in stomachs of students. And only one of them touched neither to food, nor to drink and, sadly smiling, observed of sparkling fun of the companions. At last someone has exclaimed: - And you, James why you have not fun with us? Probably, any young unapproachable lady has wounded you in the heart? - Remember, about what we spoke with you last time? - James has unexpectedly asked. - Today I have come to tell to all of you - the life after death does not stop, and that I am now among you, - direct to volume acknowledgement. Students have become silent, puzzly exchanging glances, and James has risen because of a table and slowly left a premise. Has passed some days, employment have already begun, and James for some reason did not attend lectures, though companions some times saw it in college corridors. More and more or has less cleared up, when to an educational institution there have arrived James's parents. They have informed a management that their son has sunk in the summer, bathing in the river...
