90,000 seat Wembley Stadium was designed by the World Stadium Team, a joint venture between Populous and Foster & Partners, as a multi-purpose venue to host soccer, rugby, concerts and athletics
Wembley Stadium is an iconic venue and since its redevelopment was completed in 2007 it has hosted some of the biggest events in the world.The final England match played at the 'Old Wembley' was in 2000, with the demolition of its famous twin towers officially beginning in 2002.
, another key feature of those early designs was the requirement to have a running track around the outside of the pitch so it could host track and field events. “What that means is that the geometry of the seating bowl is based on a track and field bowl. That pushes the envelope of the building out. The track and field bowl is broader, the way the sight lines work and geometry of the bowl work means that it is bigger.“You look at the site boundary, which is very tight, and the government wanted it to host track and field if it needed to. That created further constraints on the site.
This was even unveiled in 1999, but then England boss Kevin Keegan reportedly comparing it to a ‘circus tent’.Angus Campbell, of Foster + Partners, said: “The first incarnation of the roof design was suspended from two very tall masts, which then refined into a version with four smaller masts that passed through the hospitality spaces. This was the design Norman Foster launched in July 1999, while Kevin Keegan was still the England manager.
