The managers of the Wembley Arena have been busy telling everyone how well things have been going there since the venue reopened following their £35 million facelift. Over half a million visitors have been through the door for some sixty events since the reopening in April. I'm only really bringing this up so I can mention how cool the fountains are outside the new Arena. In fact, if Wembley was slightly more central, I'd suggest a special visit, they're that cool.
Anyway, here's what Wembley General Manager Peter Tudor has to say (about all that success, not the fountains): "We're having a fantastic year. By the time we reach December 31 over one million people will have experienced the new Wembley Arena and 137 shows will have taken place in just nine months. The audience response to the new venue has been excellent, and the 2007 diary is already filling up, with Kylie kick-starting the new year in style."
