Wembley Stadium
With 90,000 seats, it is the largest football stadium in England, the largest stadium in the UK and the second-largest stadium in Europe.
Wembley Stadium, London, England, which opened in 2007, on the site of the original Stadium, which was demolished from 2002–2003. The stadium hosts major football matches including the FA Cup Final and home matches of the England national football team. Wembley Stadium is owned by the Football Association through its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Ltd.
With 90,000 seats, it is the largest football stadium in England, the largest stadium in the UK and the second-largest stadium in Europe. Designed by Populous and Foster and Partners, the stadium was built by Australian firm Multiplex. At a cost of £798 million, it is one of the most expensive stadiums ever built and has the largest roof-covered seating capacity in the world. The all-seater stadium is based around a bowl design and is protected from the elements by a sliding roof.
Each of the 90,000 seats was anchored to the substrate of the stand tribune using Rawlplug stainless steel Throughbolts R-SPT-A4 (predecessor of R-HPTII-A4). Their installation was preceded by a series of tests confirming the highest quality of Rawlplug fixings.
