With its stunning arch visible from over 20km, the new $1 billion UEFA 5-star Wembley Stadium stands as a landmark on London’s skyline. The retractable roof, hung from a basket weave lattice arch with a record breaking span of 315m, is an innovative and structurally efficient solution to providing fully covered unobstructed views to all 90,000 spectators and a shadow-free playing area. Its strong architectural statement and excellent facilities make Wembley, arguably, the best stadium in the world.
