It's not a natural question.

In this case, the tense doesn't matter much. Both are intelligible and acceptable in my opinion. In most contexts I prefer the present, but you might choose the past if you were interviewing a famous but retired footballer, and the present if he was still playing.

It might also depend on whether the stadium still exists- if you were asking about the old Wembley stadium, the past tense would be the natural choice.
