Стадион узнаваем своей аркой, также известной как «арка Уэмбли». Эта конструкция является самой длинной однопролетной крышей во всем мире. Ее высота 134 метра, а ширина 315 метров. Ещё Уэмбли снискал славу самого дорого стадиона в мире (на его строительство было потрачено около 1,6 миллиарда долларов), а также второго по вместительности стадиона Европы. На его просторных трибунах могут расположиться 90 000 человек.
Любопытно узнать, что для того, чтобы подняться к Главной ложе стадиона, необходимо преодолеть 107 ступеней. Для сравнения, на старом стадионе Уэмбли в ложу за наградой можно было попасть, поднявшись всего на 39 ступеней. Также примечателен и тот факт, что Уэмбли побил мировой рекорд по количеству туалетов в одном помещении. Их насчитывается 2 618 на территории всего стадиона.
