More than a year after it was originally scheduled to open, keys to the new Wembley stadium was finally handed to the Football Association.
The total construction cost was put at £326.5m back in 2000; by the time the bid had been signed, it had risen to £445m. by May 2006 the price of the stadium had risen to £757m. A year later, and in time for the 2007 FA Cup final, the final figure is estimated at £798m.
Is it worth it? Regardless of opinions about the length of time to build and the cost, the previous Wembley was in poor condition and a new national stadium was necessary. Having once visited the stadium while under construction, I'd say people are going to be impressed.
