The Wembley way: parking provision at Wembley's new stadium will be tightly controlled

摘要

In its lifetime the old Wembley stadium hosted everything from FA Cup Finals to Rod Stewart concerts - even Pope John Paul II drove into the venue in his Popemobile to face a capacity crowd. Yet the new, somewhat delayed, stadium is set to outshine its predecessor in almost every way with its 90,000-seater capacity, improved in-house facilities and greatly enhanced local transport infrastructure. Only people planning to drive to the new home of English football will notice that provision at Wembley Mk2 is less generous than that provided at the original. But this is a deliberate move aimed at helping the venue work more efficiently while making life better for residents.
