It would devalue the Challenge Cup Final if everyone in SL got to play at Wembley as a matter of course, but apart from that it would make more sense than Murrayfield (for which I personally don't have much enthisiasm for a repeat visit) and I like the idea in theory.
Wembley is clearly for hire to just about anyone in order to recoup its massive construction costs (e.g tarmacadam race tracks laid for a couple of days then ripped up again) but it could be a problem to find a suitable date. Seven matches on a wet Bank Holiday weekend just before the FA Cup Final wouldn't be too popular with the FA, and on the last May Bank Holiday it hosts the Football league play off finals. Maybe Easter weekend could be a possibility; this would also help satisfy the wishes of many people to have just one fixture over Easter instead of a punishing two in four days. (I've probably overlooked some other fixture that takes place there at Easter now.)
I think Arsenal FC would be an even better location for a Magic weekend: not so huge but still big enough and closer to Central London, but that would probably be a non-starter as I believe they're adamant it won't be used for anything other than football.
