Facility Notes: Greg Clarke Issues Reassurance Regarding Wembley

FA Chair Greg Clarke said that the U.K. will not be selling its "crown jewel" if an offer from NFL Jacksonville Jaguars Owner Shahid Khan to buy Wembley Stadium is accepted. Khan wants to buy the stadium in a deal that could be worth up to £1B ($1.34B). In a letter answering questions from FA Council members, Clarke outlined some of the details of the bid and offered reassurances that the venue would "remain at the heart of English football" (REUTERS, 5/24).

The Canadian Formula 1 Grand Prix is "bidding farewell to its 30-year-old garages this year." Once the race is over on June 10, the concrete garages at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve "will be torn down, to be replaced by a shiny new facility" in time for the 2019 Grand Prix. F1 authorities "have been on promoter Francois Dumontier’s back for years to expand and modernize the garage and paddock areas at the track" (CANADIAN PRESS, 5/23).
