The roof, the roof, the roof is...... Open or Closed???

Anyone got any idea for this weekend?? I'm sure I heard last season that they said they will always close the Wembley roof for the League Cup final but I can't find anything anywhere about it online or does it depend on the weather forecast?

 

The Wembley roof doesn't cover the pitch
Closed or open

 

Has it got a fully closeable roof?

 

Only to cover seating areas

The pitch is always exposed

 

Wembley doesn't have a roof..

 

Technically it does, it has retractable roof ends that when closed ensure all seating areas are covered from the elements at least the ones behind the pitch

The majority of the pitch is open though

 

Do you work for Wembley?

Good to know though - so I won't get wet?

 

Nah just from when I went

Basically the two behind the goal ends can be completely exposed if the roof is open or covered by the roof which runs on two huge steel tracks, so if you're behind the goal you'll be dry

Tbh I've not seen a match where the roof was open though

Cheers mate - It's my first time at the new one and I always thought the roof closed completely

 

I've heard closed. Altidore's fault apparently.

 

Ha ha!

 

Good news for the parachutists
