That imponderable requires an answer
A smartie is 8mm x 3.5mm and ovoidal in shape.
If you had a sqaure metre tray, you should be able to place them 125 x 125 in the bottom = 15,625 if arranged nearly
at 3.5mm in height, we are looking at approximately 280 smarties to reach 1 metre in height.
Assuming that our smarties are neatly stacked (but not perfectly optimised with a staggered layering) then 4,375,000 per cubic metre would seem reasonable.
If you however were thinking of a "pour fill" rather than a neatly stacked fill, then I would guess this would reduce the storage capacity a little - and for convenience of calculation, I would guess around 4,200,000, or 4.2 Megasmarties per cubic metre.
Old wembley stadium had a design capacity of 1,139,100 cubic metres and from googling, it seems the new one has a very rounded 4,000,000 cubic metres of space to take you to the brim.
So Old stadium = 4,784,220 Megasmarties ( 4,784,229,000,000 smarties)
New Statdium = 16,800,000 Megasmarties ( 16,800,000,000,000 smarties) - or 16.8 Terrasmarties
Not my answer, Google is your friend
