Wembley gets licence for NFL fan zone with four-drink limit
Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 13:03 · Archive
Brent Council has approved a temporary NFL fan zone at Wembley Stadium for Sunday's Jacksonville Jaguars versus Houston Texans game.
Brent Council has granted Wembley National Stadium Ltd a licence to host a temporary NFL fan zone in the Green Car Park on Sunday, October 18, for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans match, which kicks off at 2.30pm.
The fan zone will operate from 9.30am to 9.30pm and will feature food, drinks, live and recorded music, live entertainment and competitions. Wembley explained that the car park has been used as a fan zone annually for the past four years. The facility will be capped at fewer than 3,250 attendees to ensure safety, with security maintained throughout the day and noise monitored.
A resident had objected to the application citing concerns about the number of attendees, noise levels and alcohol sales. During the licensing hearing on Monday, councillors questioned the need for alcohol sales. Wembley representatives responded that a four-drink limit would be implemented, with trained staff enforcing a Challenge 25 policy to verify customer age. The resident continued to object to alcohol sales, though the application was ultimately approved.
