Wembley Stadium

Fabulous Stadium. I’ve been to several club games there. Th tour is also excellent and is well worth the visit.

Beautiful stadium, easy to navigate, clean restrooms (with PRIVACY), friendly staff, great sound and seats, cold beer… all in all an excellent experience. We were amazed at the open bulk candy kiosks, and even more amazed at just how friendly all of the British fans were. Unlike in the US where everyone roots for their one team, the Brits just loved American football, period. There were people there in jerseys for one team and a hat for another, with every team in the NFL represented. They didn’t care who won or lost, they just came to watch the game. It was actually quite refreshing! Of course, as a Chiefs fan I was particularly amused when they picked up on the tomahawk chop chant and subsequently the chant of «Let’s Go Royals» all the way back to the tube. It was positively surreal.
The only down side was the food… I know stadium food isn’t the best anyway, but this was a bit more disappointing than I’ve had at other stadiums in the US. I was there for the Chiefs/​Lions NFL game, and they had a hot dog that I’ve since learned was at the request of the Chiefs management… a hot dog, topped with pulled pork BBQ, topped with mac & cheese. Not good. Really, whatever the Chiefs were thinking, they should have left that on the drawing board.

Fantastic stadium. Clean facilities. Very well laid out path from the stadium to the station. The 80,000 ppl crowd management for thz england v/​s england game was on point. Felt safe all the while.
Additionally, there are plenty of retail shops and food and entertainment outlets nearby

Was there for an NFL game with 84,000 people and the atmosphere inside was just terrific. I left right as the game ended, walked to the underground in a hurried pace, boarded the train and was back to my hotel in less than 20 minutes. I attend games here in the states and public transportation leaving a stadium with ½ as many people is a nightmare. The fan fare outside the stadium was very cool too.
Beer prices were very reasonable but the food was VERY lackluster. Was in a line for a hot dog, got to the front and left because it looked pretty bad. Decided on a hamburger which left much to be desired.
Game, stadium, atmosphere… awesome. Concessions… not so much.
Enjoyable experience.

My first «FOOTBALL» game! Britain versus Switzerland!
–Alcohol…they didn’t sell alcohol! I guess they do this on certain games to minimize riots and hooligans. Check first, and drink have some drinks beforehand.
–We got the cheap seats in this 80,000 seat stadium, but the view was still good.
–Cardio…unlike American Football, there’s no long commercial breaks between each play. These athletes go non stop for two 45 minute sessions of cardio.
–Organized Chaos: The crowd was about 76K total, but it surprisingly relatively quick and efficient getting to our seats and back to the tube station afterwards. The crowds were huge!
I’m not into sports, but this was still a fun experience for an American tourist… though next time I will drink heavily before hand.

Although I’d love to come every year for my team I’m not the biggest fan of the setup of Wembley. It has got more soul about it in recent times but doesn’t have the charisma of the old Wembley or club grounds. But it’s getting there I think. They have recently developed the outlets of food and shopping right by it which is fantastic to see. So it has vastly improved. In terms of watching music gigs there it’s almost too big unless you are near the front, but that’s to be expected.

When Bees Attack! It’s a new show that is touring all over the world, starting from its purpose-​built aviary of a stadium, known as «When Bee Stadium.»
First-​Hand Experience: I’ve been to Wembley so many times, it hurts. Financially speaking. The old and the new Wembley. I’ve even slept in the parking lot.
«When Bee Stadium» indeed.
Actually that would probably be better than what we actually have… the strange handbasket arch of a stadium that looks as bizarre and un-​English as it does typical and uninspiring. Yes it’s big, but it’s not even that big. Probably because they were trying to create a wild atmosphere. Well, fail. Because when you price tickets the way they do, you’re never going to have the common man and the loud kids who have been playing on the streets come in here. It’s just going to be a lot of privilege, and that’s all it is.
Minus one star for the ticket prices. Minus one star for tearing down one of the best stadiums in the world (and most historic) and replacing it with a very typical stadium. It’s no surprise that England don’t play very well here. It just doesn’t feel like home. And doesn’t look nearly as impressive from the outside as the old one did, either.

I have been in quite a few stadiums, but this is probably the most beautiful stadium ever. Just so big and massive. The stadium and the area immediately around it is more of a city within a city with something for everyone. The stadium is the first thing you see coming out of the Wembley park station (subway/​train is best way of getting there). Great view, great concessions with good beer choices, good amount of bathrooms and what made it great for me was that my Detroit Lions won the game I was at Wembley to see. Hoping to come back to Wembley for another sporting event.

Suuuper Stadion!
War beim Spiel England-​San Marino, und das Stadion war mehr oder weniger bis auf den letzten Platz gefüllt. Super Atmosphäre gehabt.
Und dannwar ich noch beim Champions League Finale Bayern gegen Dortmund.
Was die dort herangezaubert hatten, einfach unglaublich. Stieg man aus der Tube, war man schon mitten in der Fanmeile.
Nichts auszusetzen an diesem Stadion. Eines der Besten in dem ich je gewesen bin!

I’ve been fortunate enough to go to Wembley Stadium twice in the last month and have been so impressed with it.
We were in the Bobby Moore suite for the England v Slovenia match. I was surprised how big it was but also how fantastic. The staff were so polite, friendly and attentive. We were given a glass of champagne on arrival and we ordered our food from the menu.
The food was amazing and really nicely presented. I had baked camembert for starter, veal for main course and then chocolate and cassis dessert. All of it was cooked perfectly and so tasty. The only small thing was that there wasn’t enough bread for the camembert, although they did bring round more bread and butter for the table so it wasn’t a problem.
My boyfriend and a few others on our table had the quail starter. It was tiny, although very nice, and I think they were eyeing up my big cheesy starter when they finished!
There were bottles of white and red wine on the table for us to help ourselves to and we could order other drinks from the waiting staff, all included in the ticket.
It was fun in the Bobby Moore suite with live music from Candy Apple, interviews with old football legends and the mascots walking around for photo opportunities with guests.
The seats for the match were fantastic. Soft and padded, on the half way line and really close to the action. At half time we could go back inside for more drinks and after the match there were mini steak and ale pies for everyone, plus the chance to stay longer and enjoy the live music and more drinks.
What an incredible experience!

Wow, first trip to Wembley stadium this weekend and it didn’t disappoint.
I was really impressed by the facilities and the view from our seats was fantastic. Considering the size of the stadium you really have a great view of the action.
The building is also quite spectacular to look at from the outside with this beautiful arc that lights up at night and shines different colours.
The food and drinks are over priced but that is to be expected. The public transport from the stadium is also a nightmare after a big event and this was at 45k capacity, so cant image what it would be like at full capacity!
But despite all that it was definitely an amazing experience.

Wow just wow! That would be enough to describe this place but I feel I should do it justice and explain why I think it’s top of the pops.
I remember as a 15 year old boy (long time ago I know!) going to the old Wembley to watch a under18’s England game and that blowing me away at the time standing on Wembley way and looking at the twin towers, but once your inside the place it’s dark old and you could tell the old place as had its day. But there was still something magical about the place nevertheless.
Fast forward nearly a decade till my next visit the old iconic twin towers were long go and in their place was a massive arch of steel and wires looking like a bike wheel.
Walking up Wembley way you still feel the same magical feeling from the old Wembley the new one looks ten times taller and bigger to be fair so that adds to the effect.
Once you step inside the new stadium is when it comes into its own… firstly tons and tons of turnstiles to get into the place with security everywhere doing pat downs and bag checks, everywhere is clearly signed so you won’t get lost finding where you need to go, taking the stairs is a good exercise before watching a game.
Then you find your seat and that’s when the new Wembley comes into its own! Wow what a view! I have been there 3 times now and sat in 3 different areas and the views from each place are amazing.
The food at half time is abit pricey but you are at Wembley in the middle of London so can’t complain to much, there’s plenty of loos as well so no need like at the old one waiting for a age to go.
If you haven’t already been you need to go and experience it for yourself it’s truly amazing well I think so as you can probably tell haha

We went to the Dolphins vs Raiders NFL game. The stadium was great and it’s very organized. It’s also surprisingly very clean.

I didnt get to see much since I didnt take the tour but I got to see the outside and inside of the stadium which was pretty cool. They have a gift shop and what now for those that are soccer fans and want to buy jerseys and what not. I think it would be a pretty cool place to watch a soccer game, lots of parking, weird neighborhood for it to be in though (its in the hood lol). But i guess land is cheaper for the gov? Either way, def a tourist attraction to see.

Only let down by the extortionate price of food and drink. Unlike most «normal» football grounds, there’s not a pub that I could find within walking distance so if you want a beer before the game then it’s either the nearby restaurants or £4.90 for a generic lager (£3.30 for a Coke).
Other than that, a great stadium with staff who were superb. Seating was comfortable with plenty of leg room as well, not something I’m used to!
Just a shame Gateshead lost *sigh*

Insane in da membrane, insane in da brain!
This stadium was just… wow! That’s all I can say. We were here for the NFL International Series: Jacksonville Jaguars v. San Francisco 49ers. I know about the rule of no alcohol in the stadium during games, but they must have lifted that for this game as we definitely had our fair share of beers during the game.
The lines for all the stands (at least the ones I was in) always moved quickly. Was disappointed when they ran out of curry sauce for the fries, but it wasn’t the end of the world. Getting to the stadium is quite easy and while it was mob scene leaving the stadium, it was one of the nicest large crowds I’ve ever been forced to stand in.
Don’t know if/​when I’ll be presented with an opportunity to be in this stadium again, but if I am, I will not turn it down.

Amazing, cant tell this in words how du you fell to be at a place were soccer history is wriiten!. you have to see it and be there!!!

Ein wirklich beeindruckendes Stadion. Alle Sitze in rot, so würde ich mir das auch in der Allianz Arena wünschen. Die U-​Bahn ist ganz in der Nähe und es gibt einen breiten Zugang zum Stadion. Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich zu uns, auch als wir immer noch den CL-​Titel gefeiert haben, obwohl die Mannschaft bereits in der Kabine war. Wir wurden ganz freundlich gebeten, das Stadion endlich zu verlassen.

Been here four years on the bounce now for the annual NFL match, this time it was the Rams v The Pats.
The view all around the stadium is great, and staff are very helpful.
Only gripes are the prices of food and drink, £4.80 for a Carlsberg? Piss take in my opinion and the location is a pain in the arse to get to, also get’s overcrowded by the tube stations, but saying this it’s still worth a visit, cracking stadium.

I attended the Patriots /​Buccaneers game at Wembley back in October 2009.
It was strange because they blocked off the first 20 or so rows from the field, which worked out great for us because we were in, like row 21. but it kinda sucked that you couldn’t get any closer if you wanted to.
Getting to and from the stadium takes quite a while, and without many (affordable) options except for the tube to get there, be prepared for quite a bit of standing. and squishing…
Definitely way too expensive, but a decent stadium. Nothing too great about it, but it gets the job done.
I have to admit my opinion is biased from the fact that I watched an American football fan here and it felt like the crowd just wasn’t the «same» as it is at a game in the US.

I’m an American. I came here October 2010 for the 49er vs. Bronco American football game.
It was a huge journey getting here from Westminister but well worth it. The tube is super easy to navigate anyway.
This has got to be the most well organized stadium I have ever been to in my LIFE.
This place was insanely clean. Can’t say much for the food since I didn’t eat. You won’t find me complaining about the price of beer since the American dollar is so weak everything was pricey to me anyway.
Getting back out of here was slightly confusing but we met some cool blokes along the way.
Thank you London!

Wembley Stadium or perhaps should I call it, New Wembley Stadium is an iconic name in British sporting folklore and is the country’s designated national stadium
The original stadium was torn down in 2003, removing our own version of the famous Twin Towers. After much wrangling between the government, the local authority and the Football Authority, the new Wembley Stadium rose from the ashes to open in 2007 with an equally arresting architectural masterpiece — an huge arch partly built to hold up a section of the roof but also to give the new stadium an architectural centrepoint to rival the twin towers of the old stadium
This arch is the sight which first draws the eye when you alight at Wembley Park station and walk down Wembley Way towards the stadium. For the Olympics, the stadium had acquired the obligatory Olympic rings and the purple/​pink themed signs of the London 2012 Games
They had once again organised security well and the large crowd got into the stadium without undue delay. Once more, top marks to the smiling Forces personnel. I wonder if Olympic fatigue is starting to set in a little amongst the volunteers but a few seemed to be hanging around seemingly without a job to do rather than more proactive with visitors
The 90 000 capacity stadium obviously wasn’t full but there was still a large enough crowd to make a good noise. The men’s football tournament is a watered down under 23 competition as FIFA don’t want the Olympics to rival their own World Cup event. However, this unpredictability has led to some good open games and there seems to be a more level playing field as evidenced by the semifinalists being Brazil, Korea, Mexico and Japan
I saw Mexico take on Senegal and we got value for money when the game went to extra time, courtesy of Senegal pulling 2 goals back from going down 2 – 0 down. However, 2 Senegal errors gifted the quarterfinal to Mexico
Wembley Stadium was a great Olympic venue and what a coup to have rebuilt it before we even thought about bidding for the Games. Truth be told, the old Wembley was starting to show its age by the time it was demolished

Well! My *400^th* review and it goes to none other than a London icon — which I was lucky enough to visit for the first time during an Olympic match of football/​soccer.
Consider me a clean slate when it comes to the checkered past of its renovation, but also without knowledge of its amazing history. Well, at least you have a chance to learn about the latter, as they have plenty of plaques, statues and commemorative paraphernalia to explain just how special this venue is.
I found my experience here to be top notch. You can’t beat walking out of the Tube station and getting that glorious view! Then, down the steps and straight into a convenient walk that leads right up to the doors. No confusion about which direction or where to turn — literally, you walk straight out the station and into the stadium. Along the way you’ll walk with other patrons, brandishing their kits, flags and makeup, and of course the burger and kebab stands, which builds up the excitement and atmosphere.
We had mid-​level tickets so security was a breeze and the entrance lobby was incredibly modern and sleek. A bit soul-​less for a sports venue, I admit, and perhaps more suitable for a conference, but at least in good nick. If I had one gripe about this place, is that it didn’t have much «personality».
We headed up to our appropriate level, which offered a restaurant, one main concession with beer, wine, tea/​coffee and crisps (card or cash). Definitely lacking in food options (one Fish and Chips shop (£10) or a steak sandwich cart; or the incredibly overpriced £25/​pp sit down fare of Flute — and you still have to order yourself by fighting the crowd at the bar, pub-​style … wha? However, people seemed to be eating homemade food or out of bags from M&S, so I must have missed the memo that you don’t have to get gouged by stadium food fare. Honestly, in context for a sports venue, prices weren’t awful — £9 for two Heineken, £1.60 for water and about £2.50 for small can of Pringles. (Oh, and FYI you’re never allowed to take alcoholic drinks to your seats at matches here in UK no matter the venue)
Our seats were fantastic. They were cushioned and super comfy for a sports venue, and letting people by wasn’t the tragic purse-​stepping, knee-​smacking, shuffling affair per usual. The atmosphere was low-​key, but I assume that was because it’s the Olympics and we’re all meant to be on good behavior. No standing, no swearing and no hurled insults (very different than my Arsenal experience!). Our seats stayed nice and dry while the lower level first 20 rows or so got soaked.
OK, now for the big test — siphoning 80,000 people out of a venue, down that same walk (that looked so spacious when it wasn’t wall-​to-​wall with people at once) and onto the Tube. Since you don’t cross any roads, there isn’t too much an issue, but they still sectioned off groups to keep the Tube platforms manageable. My husband and I thought we’d beat the whole mess and turned down a side road to go to a pub to wait it all out. But our friends got stuck in the middle and couldn’t escape. It took them about 30 minutes to make it from their seats to the Tube. Which is not bad at all — I can name plenty of post-​concert parking lot fiascos that lasted literally hours. About 25 minutes after they arrived at the pub, we went back to the Tube and voila! No crowds, we jumped right on.
I would be stoked to go back to a game here, remembering to splurge for the mid-​level seats and to check into bringing in your own food to save cash.

Love it!
Steigt man aus der Tube, kommt man direkt drauf zu, und es ist einfach beeindruckend und sorgt für absolutes Gänsehaut-​Feeling! Auch, wenn es eben nicht mehr das alte Wembley ist mit den 2 Türmen, so hat es durchaus immer noch einen gewissen Charme und ist und bleibt einfach ein historischer Ort für alle Fußball-​Fans, positiv wie negativ ;)
Unglaublich beeidruckend die Treppen, die die Ebenen miteinander verbinden, toll, dass man einfach so dort herum spazieren kann (außer im VIP-​Bereich und in Richtung Spielfeld natürlich), aber sonst war es kein Problem, sich einfach so umzusehen. Der Fanshop war toll, alle waren super nett und es ließ sich das ein oder andere Schnäppchen mit nachhaus nehmen.
Beim nächsten London-​Besuch mache ich eine geführte Tour, wenn möglich. Oh und die Toiletten waren die saubersten, die ich je in einem Fußballstadion gesehen habe!!!

Das das Stadion schön ist, ich denke das wird kaum einer bestreiten. Ich empfehle ganz speziell die Stadionführung. Hat glaube ich 10 oder 15 pfund gekostet, lohnt sich aber wirklich.
Die Führungen sind in englisch aber gut zu verstehen. Unsere GruppenführerIN erzählte viele Geschichten rund um das Wembley mit einer Begeisterung die einfach nur ansteckend war. Wir schauten uns das Wembley von der Tribüné an, den Presseraum, die Umkleidekabinen aber das Highlight sollte am Ende folgen. Ein Einlauf von den Katakomben Richtung Spielfeld, incl. Einlaufmusik. Wenn man mal wissen will, wie sich ein Spieler fühlt, dann wird das dort erlebbar. Danach ging es zur Ehrentribüné, wo man Fotos mit dem FA-​Cup machen konnte. Alles in Allem ein wunderschönes Stadion sowohl von innen als auch außen.
Fazit: Die Engländer haben einen wahren Fußballtempel errichtet, den man sich am besten bei einer Stadionführung mal genau zeigen und erklären lassen sollte oder denkt wirklich wer ein richtiger Wembleyrasen entsteht einfach so? :)

Football cathedral nr. 1 in the whole world. Look forward to see it again.

Je n’ai pu le voir que de l’exterieur, deja au loin eclaire comme il etait on croirait qu’il y avait un evennement, qu’est ce qu’on peut dire quand on est au abord, GIGANTESQUE !!! En plus different complement de notre STADE DE FRANCE qui est bien aussi.

Stade mythique! j’y suis allé en 2000 pour voir Oasis. J’ai encore du mal à mesurer la puissance émotionnelle d’un tel endroit… C’est l’ultime place de concert au monde finalement…

Das Wembley Station ist schon ein bemerkenswertes Gebäude. Ausgefallene Architektur die in den Abendstunden durch eine klasse Beleuchtung in Szene gesetzt wird, einfach ein super Anblick.

Wahrscheinlich war es eines der Ziele bei der Überlegung genau dieses Stadion zu bauen, aber es ist wirklich sehr modern.
Mir ist es es sogar zu modern. Dieses Stadion reiht sich nahtlos in die Reihe der modernen Stadien ein und sticht zwar durch wenige einzigartige Bauelemente aus der Masse heraus, allerdings habe ich mir bei einem Neubau eines historisch so wichtigen Stadion etwas mehr erwartet.
Natürlich muss man aber anerkennen, dass das Stadion sehr beeindruckend ist.

El mejor estadio del mundo.
Por dentro es increible, su techo retractil impresiona y el paseo guiado es buenisimo, te comentan todas las curiosidades del estadio.
Incluso te puedes hacer una foto con la Carling Cup: D

geil geil einfach nur geil. waren 2007 in london zum eröffnungsspiel des stadions england vs. deutschland
schon wenn man aus der tube steigt und in der ferne das stadion sieht, läuft es einem eiskalt den rücken runter und wenn man drinne ist, dann ist es einfach eine ober geile atmosphäre ich will da unbedingt wieder hin

Ist das noch ein Stadion? Es wirkt eher wie ein perfekter Freizeittempel. Das neue Wembley Stadion, erbaut von Stararchitekt Norman Foster glänzt vor allem dadurch, dass es sehr sauber wirkt. manhcmal schon fast klinisch, was sicherlich dazu beiträgt, das ihm etwas Charme fehlt — auch wenn es von außen wirklich imposant aussieht.
Nachdem man wie immer britisch freundlich durch die Eingangskontrollen gekommen ist, gelangt man in die Gänge, die um das komplette Rund führen. Dort befinden sich auch zahlreiche Verpflegungstellen. Hotdogs sind hier zu bekommen, aber auch Bier, welches jedoch nicht ins Stadion mithineingenommen werden darf. Nur hier auf dem Gang darf man es trinken. Das Stadion selbst ist auch von innen absolut imposant und entspricht neuesten Standards. Auch hier hat man ein sehr sauberes und ordentliches Gefühl, es hat seine Abfolge.
Wer es nach der Veranstaltung jedoch eilig hat, sollte das Gelände frühzeitig verlassen. Ansonsten steht man Stunden um auf die nächste U-​Bahn zu warten. Immer gut beschützt von berittener Polizei. Trotzdem nicht unbedingt ein Spaß.

Alsooo, es ist schon ein besonderes Stadion, aber die Ehrfurcht, die mitschwingt, wenn der Name Wembley auftaucht, wenn Löw, Klinsmann und Co vom schönsten Stadion der Welt sprechen, kann ich nicht ganz teilen. Toll aber (gerade vom Sound her) nicht fantastisch.
Die Anreise mit der Metro über die Jubilee Line zieht sich ein wenig, dafür kommt man aus der Station und hat direkt einen wahnsinnigen Blick auaf die Arena. Die Aufforderung des Bobbys, bitte weiter zu gehen und nicht zu fotografieren wurde mir direkt mit einem Postkarte mit derm Stadion angenehm versüßt.
