BBC Sport Tour of the New Wembley Stadium with Norman Foster

A great tour of the recently opened marvel of architecture with its designer Norman Foster - with a capacity of 90,000 (the 2nd biggest in Europe) and the worlds first arched stadium (apparently!) Unfortunately, the whole project cost £757 million (originally 475) and took almost 4 and a half years (not the estimated 3) to build.

However, it's an incredbibly utiliterian design; shown by the world record of 2,618 toilets in one venue, and the seats being so close to the pitch. Personally, I think it needed more iconic modern architecture and less commercially driven ideals (all designed areas were costed to a business plan of retail/service).
