Union Jack Classic at Wembley Stadium

Nobody has said what time this starts. The stadium lists the fixture without a kick-off, so the only clue on the page comes from Boxpark: it opens its fanpark at 17:00 and bills it as a post-game party. Take that billing at face value and the football is over by five.

Which matters, because the evening has a second act. Spiritbox play the Arena at 18:00, an hour after the fanpark opens. From five o'clock Olympic Way is carrying a football crowd on its way out, a metal crowd on its way in, and a third group settling in at Boxpark until 23:00. Arizona State Sun Devils against Kansas Jayhawks, in a stadium that holds up to 90,000. The parking scheme takes no interest in which sport is being played or how many seats are sold. Main roads from 8am, residential streets from 10am, both until midnight.

This date carries one row in the card above that most pages do not: the no street drinking order on Olympic Way. That is a police matter on the walk between the station and the ground rather than anything to do with where you leave a car, and it applies to everyone on the road, not only ticket holders.

There is an odd comfort in an unpublished kick-off if you live here. The restriction hours attach to the date, not to the whistle. Whether the game starts at one o'clock or four, your street is inside the window from ten in the morning and stays there until midnight, and the only thing the kick-off time would change is when the noise peaks.
