Description

With its spectacular 133-metre-high arch dramatically illuminating the night skyline, London has a new icon: the new Wembley Stadium. Designed by Foster + Partners and the architectural firm HOK, the new stadium is almost 4 times the height of the original, covering twice the area, with 90,000 seats, a partially retractable roof and state-of-the-art spectator comforts.

Drawing from a treasure chest of striking archive images, Wembley Stadium: National Icon tells the fascinating stories of the old and the new stadium. For nearly80 years the old Wembley Stadium was the epicentre of Britain's greatest sporting and entertainment achievements. From the White Horse Cup Finalto Geoff Hurst's World Cup hat trick, this collector's item takes readers to all the cup finals and internationals, culminating in exclusive coverage of the 2007 FA Cup Final - the first major football event in the new stadium.
