I've always loved the idea of the new Wembley Stadium's iconic arch, and since its completion I had often admired it from afar. However I hadn't visited the stadium up close until going to the Coldplay concert there in September.
The sheer enormity of the arch is incredible - it looks massive from far away, but is absolutely gargantuan when you come up close to one of its skeletal feet planting itself to the ground. It really is a stunning design. It also looks absolutely amazing from inside, as illustrated in the above image.
One of the best stadium designs, in my opinion. Giant in its scale, but simple and elegant at the same time. It's not fussy and it doesn't try too hard - it's just cool. Great architecture.
