Wembley Stadium, Arch and Roof

wembley, uk

The new $1 billion UEFA 5-star Wembley Stadium stands as a landmark on London’s skyline, with its stunning arch visible from over 20km. Measuring 315m in length, its retractable roof is the widest spanning roof in the world. Hung from a basket weave lattice arch, the roof 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.
