I changed the statement about 'British metal pioneers Metallica' to read 'Heavy metal pioneers' for the sake of factual accuracy. --82.12.8.136 20:33, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Niemayer
Why is there no mention of the claim that the Sir Norman Foster's design was influenced - to say the least - by a design made by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer?
- Feel free to add it as long as you can find a reliable source to attribute it to ChrisTheDude 20:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Here you go - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=435637&in_page_id=1770 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.211.217.70 (talk) 21:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC).. See how the arch on both designs goes over one side of the stadium rather than through the middle.
[edit] No longer planned
Should we stop calling Wembley a "planned or proposed stadium?"--BigMac1212 02:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the notion that it shouldn't anymore be called a 'planned or proposed stadium' since it's construction has already been completed so it words 'under construction' should be edited as well. -- Maajid 21:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Largest roof covered stadium claim?
Docklands Stadium in Melbourne Australia looks like it has much more roof covering than Wembley does. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.84.72.111 (talk) 08:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC).
The Docklands Stadium in Melbourne only has 56,000 seats. Every seat at Wembley is covered, even though it doesn't have a cover. Other stadiums like the Millenium Stadium has a cover as well, but thats only 74,500.--Soopa hoops77 16:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] First match?
It will be ready to host the 2007 FA Cup Final, as its first football match. - aren't they holding an England U-21 match there first? Or did I dream that......? ChrisTheDude 15:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes U21's are meant to be playing italy there. Willy turner 23:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- But that won't be full capacity... only 60,000. I think the cup final will be the first full capacity match. robwingfield «T•C» 16:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] cost
why is the cost 757 million and its citation says 1 billion and in the article it says it cost 793 million?
[edit] Milestones
how can bentley be the first english goal scorer when it said someone else had done it. and it says all the records were from the u21 game when the first point is from a charity game???? and i heard nothing of this charity game.
- Bentley was the first scorer in a competitive match. There was a charity match held on the community day when the FA invited local people along to test out the facilities, but it was not in any way a competitive match ChrisTheDude 17:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] pitch
something should definetly be said about the pitches crap condition
- OK then, find a reliable independent source which has criticised the state of the pitch and you can add it in..... ChrisTheDude 17:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Somebody needs to find it soon, I saw it with my own eyes getting ripped to pieces.
I doubt that very much,the grass has to age and bond with the ground as is the norm,once the roots have taken the pitch will be fine,the currators would have took sunrise and seasonal weather into account when the turf was laid.its just nature.
[edit] Links
As the article about the original stadium has now been renamed Wembley Stadium (1924), there are countless articles with links to Wembley Stadium which now point to the article about the new stadium, arther than the old one. Is it possible for these links to be fixed (by robot?) so that they are pointed to the correct article? Daemonic Kangaroo 19:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] price
the construction cost was 753 million but it says 798, this is incorrect as the that extra bit wasnt for construction, it was just extra stuff blah blah blah. anyway the stadium cost with more extra stuff in total 1 billion. so the cost is either 753 mil or 1 bn but not 798.
[edit] Capacity
The introductory paragraphs don't mention the capacity. Strange. Not sure what it is officially. This information is needed. --Tatty 05:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
