It's a 10-year venture between Boxpark and Quintain, the team behind the sweeping regeneration of Wembley Park.
Football and music fans are promised an 'innovative fan village experience'. Which makes us picture a breezy village inhabited by forward thinking electric fans. It's almost certainly not that though.
