Wembley

Today marks exactly one year till the new Wembley Stadium shall be completed. Hopefully it would be host to the Champions League Final in 2008 after Paris and Athens! The stadium will also be used as part of the 2012 Olympic Games.




Millennium Dome Arena (new offical name: O2 Arena)

Construction started with what will become the world's largest in-door arena (capacity of 26,000) not so long ago, yet actual images have been hard to come by simply because of its encasement: the actual Millennium Dome! This is good news for the London Olympic bid as it only means that London has to build the actual 80,000 stadium to go with the current 80,000 stadia being built and expanded (Wembley - 90,000 + Twickenham -82,500)! The Dome would be used for events such as badminton, basketball and gymnastics....the world's largest arena for the worlds largest athletics meeting! Nonetheless, new images have been released and also its name: the 02 Arena.
