So our beloved national stadium is finally finished. The general public got their first look at the 90,000 arena over the weekend as it opened some three years later than projected.
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive although it seems there were some grumbles about the food prices.
Simon Dobson, UK managing director at Delaware North, which has a 25-year catering contract at Wembley, was forced to defend the prices, such as £4 for a hotdog and £4.50 for a pie.
"We're not going to serve a £2 pie, because it's rubbish and people don't want that," he said.
Bit like Steve McClaren then.
Dobson expects hotdogs, Coca-Cola and lager to be the best sellers. And it seems annoying half-time queues may be a thing of the past. On a good day, 47,000 pints can be poured at half-time. Given this, it is fortunate that there are 2,618 toilets in the stadium....
