Football stadium in Wembley by Norman Foster

Wednesday's BBC reported that the new football stadium at Wembley may not be completed on time. On May 13, 2006, the Football Association Challenge Cup is set to begin on its pitch. You can also listen to an audio recording of an interview with the building's author - Lord Norman Foster - on the BBC's website. The arch, weighing 1650 tons and standing 133 meters tall, is slowly becoming the dominant feature of West London. Its structure will be taller than the famous London Eye in the city center and will support the stadium roof weighing 7000 tons. Another interesting fact is that there are 2000 toilets inside the building, which is more than in any other building in the world.
