Here's some statistics. link
''The first event held at the stadium was the FA Cup final of 1923 between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United. This is known as the White Horse Final.''
''With an official maximum capacity of 127,000, the attendance was quoted as 126,947 but up to 200,000 people are thought to have squeezed in.''
So...Queen if they had some 75,000 people there, is probably about the most ever for a music event, I think more than Live Aid which had 72,000.

Arlene was referring to the 'white horse final' figures as 200k
in the modern era the capacity of wembley has always been 72k
the wembley 86 concert couldn't have held much more than that maybe 2/3k more...the reason? -
one complete end was covered by the stage etc which made a sizaeble chunk of what was left 'unviewable areas'
as for the pitch being covered....nah, i was there...about half/2/3 of it was covered - once you got back to the halfway line things spaced out

Three sticks in my head for some reason, but I have no clue if that's right.
The press releases for the DVD say it was four nights... Does that mean they were twice as popular as Queen? :P
You can think whatever you want about the music, but Phil Collins as a frontman is at least as great as Freddie was.

You can think whatever you want, I think Phil Collins is lucky to have a career in music....nuch less "be at least as good as frontman as Freddie" (if not better) as you imply.
