  • The new Wembley is the largest stadium in the world with every seat under cover.
  • The stadium contains 2,618 toilets, more than any other venue in the world.
  • The stadium has a circumference of 1 km (0.6 mi).
  • At its peak, there were more than 3,500 construction workers on site.
  • 4,000 separate piles form the foundations of the new stadium, the deepest of which is 35 m (115 ft).
  • There are 56 km (35 miles) of heavy-duty power cables in the stadium.
  • 90,000 m³ (120,000 cu yds) of concrete and 23,000 tonnes of steel were used in the construction.
  • The total length of the escalators is 400 m (¼ mi).
  • The Wembley Arch has a diameter greater than that of a cross-channel Eurostar train.
  • Roof
    The new 6,350 tonne roof covers an area of over 45,000 square metres (11 acres), 4 acres (16,000 m2) of which are movable and rise to 52 m (170 ft) above the pitch. With a span of 317 m (1040 ft), the arch is the longest single span roof structure in the world and is 134 m (440 ft) above the level of the external concourse, and is designed not to cast a shadow on the pitch.
