I recall seeing film (it may have been Pathe News or similar newsreel footage) of the construction of the original Wembley Stadium. Once the stadium had been completed the engineers hired a large number of ex-WW1 soldiers to stamp up and down in unison to ensure the terraces were structurally sound.
And by the magic of the Internets and the all-knowing Google, here's a link to the footage, from 1923.
