Wembley Stadium, also known as Empire Stadium at Wembley around the time of its opening (PROSE: The Clockwise Man, Extra Time) was a successive pair of stadia with an adjacent arena, located in Wembley Park in the Borough of Brent, an area of northwest London, England. Circa 966, the land was known as "Wemba's Lea". The lea (meaning meadow or clearing) belonged to the Anglo-Saxon lord Wemba. (COMIC: They Think It's All Over)
