45. Original Wembley Stadium, London

The original Wembley Stadium has a long history, having opened exactly 100 years ago in 1923 in London. It hosted numerous European Soccer Cup finals. It rocketed to fame as the most well-known soccer stadium in the world.

It also hosted Olympics and rugby games, as well as numerous famous entertainers like Elton John, Queen and Madonna. Unfortunately, this iconic stadium fell on hard times and much like other buildings who have a similar experience, was ultimately demolished in 2002. By 2007, its replacement had been erected and served the same purpose.
