All eyes on Brickstand

Chris Smith, the man behind Brickstand, has been generating a bit of media attention of late for his ambition to build all 92 English Football League grounds out of LEGO.

You may have caught some of Chris’ work through his website or when on display at any of the LEGO events he has attended, such as BRICKLIVE.

Edging close to the halfway mark of his target, Chris has generated some notable media coverage recently. The likes of Vice, IBWM and a number of other outlets have featured his work, whilst earlier this week he appeared on BBC Radio 5 live.
