Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Every Detail Information You Need To Know

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is located in North London and replaced the team’s previous home, White Hart Lane. With a capacity of 62,850, it is the largest club ground in London and the third-largest football stadium in England. There is also the world’s first dividing, retractable football pitch, which reveals a synthetic turf field below for NFL London Games, concerts, and other events. The stadium is designed to serve multiple functions.

Although the name “Tottenham Hotspur Stadium” was intended to be temporary and the naming rights to be sold to a sponsor, it has not yet been changed. Some media outlets and fans will occasionally refer to the stadium as New White Hart Lane.

The stadium’s construction was started as the centerpiece of the Northumberland Development Project, which aimed to serve as the impetus for a 20-year plan for Tottenham’s revitalization. The project includes the location of the now-demolished White Hart Lane and the surroundings. The stadium was conceived in 2007 and announced in 2008, but it was revised several times, and construction didn’t start until 2015 because of disputes and delays. Before the first Premier League game played there on April 3, 2019, there was a ceremony to officially open the stadium.

History on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Both the Early Years and Construction

The first games of Tottenham Hotspur were played on public property at Tottenham Marshes after the club was founded in 1882. The club made the decision to relocate to an enclosed ground so it could charge an admission fee and manage the crowd as their matches gained more popularity with the general public and the number of spectators increased. The club rented a field at Asplins Farm in Northumberland Park in 1888, close to the railroad. But the stadium quickly became too crowded, so in 1899 the team relocated to a plot of land owned by Charringtons Brewery east of Tottenham High Road, behind the White Hart pub. This area later became known as White Hart Lane.

In 1905, the club purchased the freehold of the field along with extra land at the northern (Paxton Road) end. Over the course of 2.5 decades beginning in 1909, a new stadium with stands created by Archibald Leitch was constructed. By 1934, the stadium could hold almost 80,000 people. The stadium’s capacity was down to about 50,000 in 1979 due to a number of changes that took place over the years, including the replacement of the standing areas with seating. However, there were still some significant standing areas, such as The Shelf, a lengthy raised terrace that was favored by fans in the East Stand.

The White Hart Lane stadium underwent renovation beginning in the early 1980s, and following the Taylor Report’s 1989 recommendation, it was converted into an all-seater stadium. When the renovation was finished in 1998, the stadium’s capacity was down to about 36,000. By that point, it had a smaller capacity than the grounds of other significant English clubs, many of which also had plans to grow. Tottenham started looking into ways to expand the stadium’s capacity in order to better compete financially with rival clubs since gate receipts at the time made up a sizable portion of the club’s income (before TV broadcast rights deals took over).
The East Stand could be rebuilt as a three-tiered structure, and the stadium could be relocated to other stadiums and locations, like Picketts Lock and the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, London. With the exception of a plan to redevelop the existing site, which turned into the Northumberland Development Project, these plans did not materialize.

Planning

Redevelopment of the current site was one of the options under consideration, the club first stated in 2007. The club disclosed in April 2008 that it was thinking about purchasing the Wingate Trading Estate, which is immediately to the north of White Hart Lane, in order to construct the stadium. The Northumberland Development Project, which involved building a stadium, a club museum, homes, shops, and other facilities, was announced in October 2008.

Early plans called for Tottenham to move into the partially finished stadium at the start of the 2012–13 season, with the stadium finished by the conclusion of the following campaign. However, the project was delayed, requiring numerous plan revisions and multiple postponements of the completion date. The team didn’t fully commit to building the stadium in Tottenham until January 2012, after West Ham United had won the bidding war for the Olympic Stadium. In April 2009, the project’s initial plan which included a stadium with a 58,000-seat capacity was made public.

Then, in October 2009, the KSS Design Group-designed stadium and other buildings’ planning application was submitted. Conservation organizations, including English Heritage, and the Government’s advisory body on architecture, the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, criticized the proposal, which called for the demolition of eight locally listed buildings and two nationally listed buildings. A revised plan that kept some of the listed buildings was resubmitted in May 2010 in response to the objections. On September 30, 2010, the Haringey Council approved this proposal. Later, Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, and the government also approved it. Only the building of Lilywhite House, one component of this plan, was carried out.

A significant riot broke out in an underprivileged area of Tottenham in August 2011. To preserve the economically significant club within the neighborhood, Haringey Council granted planning permission for the project on September 20, 2011, and a week later removed the requirement for the community infrastructure payments that are typically needed for such a project. Tottenham declared in a joint statement with Haringey Council in January 2012 that it would remain in North Tottenham and work with the council to revitalize the neighborhood. In this plan, the Haringey Council’s 20-year regeneration program would be kicked off by the Northumberland Development Project.
Spurs will receive council-owned land in the redevelopment area, including a portion of Wingate Trading Estate, Paxton Road, and Bill Nicholson Way, after Haringey Council approved plans to transfer the land to Spurs in March 2012. It also decided to issue a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) to purchase the last remaining unsold properties on Paxton Road. The CPO was finally confirmed on July 11, 2014, by Department of Communities and Local Government Secretary of State Eric Pickles after a protracted delay. The owner of Archway Sheet Metal Works, the last remaining company with two plots on the development site, then tried but failed to have the CPO decision overturned in the High Court. The development could move forward after the remaining plots on Paxton Road were purchased on March 31, 2015.
The idea that the team was considering a fresh design for a multi-use stadium that could host American NFL games was first made public in October 2013. The NFL and the club announced their 10-year partnership on July 8, 2015, with the club agreeing to host at least two NFL games annually. A revised project plan and a new design team were both revealed on the same day. Populous, led by Christopher Lee, was given responsibility for designing the stadium. Haringey Council approved the updated plans, which included demolishment of nearby listed buildings, in December 2015. Additionally, the plans received official approval from the Mayor of London in February 2016.

Construction

Construction on the Northumberland Development Project began in September 2012, but due to the CPO dispute, the stadium’s actual construction did not start until 2015. In order to allow White Hart Lane to be used during the 2016–17 season while construction was still ongoing, the stadium was built in two main phases. The North, West, and East Stands of the stadium were constructed during the first phase, and the South Stand was built during the second phase after White Hart Lane had been torn down.

While the CPO dispute was ongoing in 2014, a sizable portion of the land to the north of the current stadium had been cleared. After the disagreement was resolved, preliminary work on the basement started in the summer of 2015, and in the fall of that same year, Morrisroe began pouring concrete and starting the ground work for the foundation based on previously approved and modified plans.

In February 2016, the project’s revised plan received final approval, which made it possible to quickly begin building the stadium’s main structure. The northeast corner of White Hart Lane was demolished in the summer of 2016 after the 2015-16 season had concluded in order to facilitate the construction of the stadium’s northern section while games of the final season were still being played at The Lane. This section, which runs from the basement to level 6, is made of reinforced concrete. The three levels above are supported by a steel framework. Instead of the eight expected for a stadium of this size, there are only six reinforced concrete cores for vertical spectator circulation because they had to be built during the stadium’s first construction phase. There are open staircases leading to the concourses in the South Stand built during the second phase.
The day after the final home game of the 2016–17 season was played, the majority of the remaining White Hart Lane ground began to be demolished. By early August 2017, all traces of White Hart Lane were gone. In June 2017, the stadium’s second phase of construction’s foundation work began. While the majority of the northern section built in the first phase is made of concrete, the entire single-tier south stand is supported by a steel frame to enable quicker construction. In December 2017, the two steel “trees” that hold up the South Stand were constructed.
In February 2018, the compression ring holding the cable net roof structure was finished, and in March 2018, the roof structure was raised. The new stadium includes remnants of the old White Hart Lane, including bricks from the East Stand used for the Shelf Bar and crushed aggregate from the White Hart Lane’s concrete foundation mixed with new concrete to create the concourse floor. There are several historical markers around the stadium designating key areas of the old stadium, like its center. Early in October 2018, the pitch was established. 35,000 decorative tiles, 4,801 perforated metal panels, and 2,505 glass panels were used to finish the stadium’s exterior. The final metal panels of the “veil” were installed in March 2019, completing the exterior cladding of the stadium.

Opening

In August and early September 2018, the club initially declared that it would host four test events at the venue. The following two games would be open to the general public, with increasing levels of attendance required for the issuance of a safety certificate. The first two events would only be attended by club staff and officials. These two games were postponed to March 2019 because problems with the crucial safety systems brought on by defective electrical wiring caused a delay in the stadium’s construction.

In its place, the stadium hosted a fan orientation event in December 2018. With 28,987 spectators in attendance, Tottenham defeated Southampton 3-1 in the first game, an under-18s contest, on March 24. J’Neil Bennett scored the stadium’s first goal in that game. The second event, a Legends game against Inter Milan on March 30, drew 41,244 spectators but ended in a 4-5 defeat for the Inter Forever team.

Tottenham had been scheduled to move into the new stadium for the second home game against Liverpool in September 2018, but due to opening-day delays, they were forced to extend their temporary lease at Wembley Stadium for the 2018–19 season until April 2019. At Stadium MK, they also hosted their home match in the third round of the EFL Cup. On October 14, 2018, Oakland Raiders vs. Seattle Seahawks was scheduled to play the first NFL game, but due to the stadium delay, this game was also moved to Wembley.

More Information on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The 62,850-person stadium has an asymmetrical bowl shape. The stadium’s bowl shape was created to maximize hospitality space, and the asymmetry was brought about by building a single-tier stand in the south. The stadium is roughly 200 meters wide east to west, 250 meters long on its north to south axis, and 48 meters high. With a gross internal area of 119,945 m2, or roughly four times the size of White Hart Lane, the building has 9 floors in the horseshoe-shaped northern section above the basement and 5 floors in the southern section. The stadium has a 43,000 m2 area, which is nearly twice the size of White Hart Lane (24,000 m2).

The main entrance for visitors and customers is a projecting, angled, glazed box that is located on the front of the West Stand facing the High Road. This box houses an escalator. The projecting entrance creates a traditional linear frontage along the High Road, as do the facades of the other buildings that make up the Tottenham Experience. For matchday crowd flow on the High Road, a 9.5-m pavement is built in front of these structures. There is a special entrance for NFL events on Worcester Avenue, to the east.

Fans can access two elevated podiums, one to the north and one to the south. On the south podium, a sizable open public square the size of Trafalgar Square has been created as the primary entrance for home supporters. The square can be used for recreational and social events and has a number of ventilation shafts. Away fans can enter the stadium through Worcester Avenue and the north podium from the northeast corner. In the South Stand, a single 7,000 m2 curved glazed facade conceals a 5-story atrium.

Although the structure’s size dominates its surroundings, different glass, metal, and pre-cast concrete claddings can change how the building’s mass appears. The perforated metal panels function as a screen but also permit natural light and ventilation in the open plant areas of the stadium. They also act as a unifying sculptured element in the stadium’s exterior design. Views into and out of the stadium are possible from areas of glazing that are not covered by the metal screen, such as the main concourses and entrances, offices, Sky Lounge, and the sizable area to the south that is covered in glazing. The metal panels can be closed or opened, and they are lined with LED lights that shine at night. The metal panels have LED luminaires lining them, which glow on match nights whether they are open or closed.

An elliptically shaped compression ring holds the cable net roof in place. The 720 meter-diameter roof is covered in standing seam aluminum panels that are finished on the inside with extruded polycarbonate to let light into the pitch but lessen the contrast of the shadow of the roof on the pitch. The roof is attached to the wall by 810 curved aluminum eave cassettes. 324 LED floodlights, mounted to the roofing system’s columns in 54 groups of six, are used to illuminate the pitch. Inside the stadium, there are four sizable LED displays; the two on the south side are the biggest of any stadium in Western Europe. In addition, the stadium has three tiers of LED ribbon displays inside, two facade video displays on the outside of the stadium, nearly 1,800 video screens inside, and more.

To maximize the atmosphere on game days, the stadium was built with good acoustics similar to those of a concert hall. The stands are situated close to the field and the stadium’s corners are enclosed, creating a “wall of sound” that can reverberate throughout the entire stadium. Aiming to produce cleaner and quicker reverberation times that allow fans to sing in unison and produce louder, longer-lasting chants, the design extends to the shape and material of the roof and the seating, such as the roof’s aluminum soffit lining. Although noisier than White Hart Lane, the stadium is intended to preserve the character and promote a sense of “home.”

Stands

The stadium has four distinct stands even though it is shaped like a bowl. The stands’ tiers are positioned at angles up to 35 degrees, which is the maximum permitted in British stadium design, and every seat offers ticket holders a clear view of the field of play. With seating for 17,500 spectators, the South Stand, also known as the “Home End,” is the largest single-tier stand in the nation. It has concourses on Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4, is 34.1 meters high, has a 34-degree incline, and is reachable from the south atrium. The “Yellow Wall” of Borussia Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion served as inspiration for the South Stand’s design, and the stand is meant to be the “heart-beat” of the stadium and a source of intense atmosphere on game days.

The three tiers of the 35.5m-tall North Stand have concourses on Levels 1, 2, 4, and 5. Concourses are located on Levels 1 and 5 of the East and West Stands, which are respectively 33.8 and 33.2 meters high. Each of the two stands has four tiers, with two of them being smaller ones designed for premium seating. For premium members and corporate hospitality, there are about 8,000 of these premium seats as well as 70 private loges and super loges. The stadium’s navy blue seats, which were originally 62,062 but were later increased to 62,850 over three phases, have 42,000 seats set aside for season ticket holders.

The stadium’s previous stadium had seats with a minimum width of 455-460 mm. The new stadium’s seats have a minimum width of 470 mm and a maximum width of 520-700 mm for premium seats. The legroom ranges from 780 to 858 mm. For Premier League games, away fans are given seats in the northeast corner; for domestic cup matches, they may receive up to 15% of the capacity distributed over three tiers.

Should the law that forbade standing in football stadiums change, the 7,500-seat sections of the stands can be quickly converted into safe standing areas. It is one of the five stadiums that will test “safe standing” in January 2022, and it is the first Premier League venue with areas of rail seating. For those coming with their kids, there is a family area in the northwest corner. 265 wheelchair bays, areas for service dogs, and facilities for those with “complex care requirements” are available for disabled visitors. All four stands have accessible seating, and the layouts are conducive to accommodating family groups.

Pitches

The stadium’s association football field measures 105 m x 68 m, which is the same as the fields at Old Trafford and Wembley Stadium but 440 m larger than the field at White Hart Lane. The perimeter between the pitch and the stands is included in the total grass area, which measures 114.58 m by 79.84 m. The minimum distances between the stands and the pitch are 7.97 meters (26.1 feet) on the east, north, and west sides from the front of the stand to the pitch and 4.985 meters (16.4 feet) at the south end of the pitch in order to improve the atmosphere on match days.

Two different surfaces are used to maintain the football field in top condition: a hybrid grass pitch for football made of Desso GrassMaster, and a synthetic turf area below it for NFL games, concerts, and other events. The football field is the first in the world to split into three sections before retracting, and it can be retracted similarly to how the Arizona Cardinals’ home stadium does. To make room for the two columns that support the South Stand when it retracts, the pitch had to be divided. Each of the three sections has a combined weight of 10,000 tonnes and is made up of 99 trays totaling 33 smaller trays.

Together, these 99 trays weigh more than 3,000 tonnes each. The surface can be changed in 25 to 60 minutes, and the retracting pitch slides into the parking lot underneath the South Stand and the South Podium. The NFL field is 1.6 meters below the level of the natural turf, and the elevation difference when the surface is switched also creates ideal sightlines for the front row for both codes (NFL team personnel tend to stand along sidelines in allocated areas which would block the view of the front row if the field level is not lower in NFL games).

Over the field, the stadium has the first integrated grow lighting system in the world. In order to promote grass growth in the stadium’s shaded areas, grow lights are hung from six 70-meter trusses. When not in use, they can be folded up under the North Stand. When the pitch is retracted under the south podium, artificial lighting, air ventilation, dehumidification, and irrigation systems can be used to maintain the grass for up to 5 days.

Facilities

The stadium offers distinct amenities for football and NFL players, including locker rooms, medical centers, restaurants, hydrotherapy pools, warm-up zones, pre-match players’ lounges, and lounges and daycare centers for their families. It also meets the various needs of NFL media and football. On game days, there are many bars open to spectators. The Goal Line Bar, the longest in Europe at 65 meters, is located in the South Stand. The Dispensary is located in the West Stand, while The White Hart and The Shelf are bars in the East Stand. In the East Stand are The White Hart and The Shelf, while in the West Stand is The Dispensary.

The stadium has a large number of food and beverage options (65 at the club opening); the South Stand’s “Market Place” has a variety of food and beverage options, and other stands also have a variety of food options. Another feature is the world’s first stadium-based microbrewery, which can brew 1 million craft beer pints annually and serve up to 10,000 pints per minute. The venue, which offers more Wi-Fi access points and Bluetooth beacons, is the first cashless stadium in the nation and provides stadium-wide connectivity for all fans. There are a few parking spots available in the basement and underneath the stand, but they are not for general admission fans.

Premium members have access to a variety of hospitality amenities in the East and West Stands. These include 65 suites of private loges and super loges, Michelin star level dining, and two Sky Lounges on the top floors of the East and West Stands with views of London and the field. Another is the Tunnel Club, which lets members watch the players as they pass through a glass-walled tunnel from the dressing room to the field. The Sky Bridge is the first bridge in the world to be suspended from a stadium roof.

The stadium is designed to be a year-round destination for sports and entertainment with conference and banqueting options. Visitors can walk up the side of the stadium to the roof, cross a glass walkway around the golden cockerel above the South Stand where they can view the goal line from the roof, or abseil down to the south podium from a viewing deck on the “Dare Skywalk,” which opened on August 31, 2020. The East Stand includes a double-height banquet hall that may be used for conference events. The raised podium creates a sizable open public square to the south of the stadium, which can be used for a variety of sporting and social events.

Visitors can pick up tickets and begin a tour of the stadium at The Tottenham Experience, which is located on Tottenham High Road and features a club shop, archive, and museum. The museum is housed in the Grade II listed Warmington House, and the club shop, which is the biggest in Europe and has a 100-seat auditorium area that can be used for pre-match experiences, is where the museum is located. M cafe, a media room that can be used as a cafe when there are no matches, is located on the northwest corner. The OOF art gallery debuted on July 23, 2021. The gallery is located inside the stadium’s Grade II-listed Warmington House and is accessed through the club store. Other amenities, such as a ticket office, a planned extreme sports building, as well as a community health center, may be provided in ancillary buildings adjacent to the stadium.

Statuary

On November 6, 2018, a 4.5-m-tall, nearly-double-sized fiberglass replica of the spurs cockerel, which was first built in 1909 to adorn the top of the west stand at White Hart Lane, was installed on the roof structure above the South Stand. It is an exact replica of the original, even down to the air rifle dents left behind by Paul Gascoigne. A statue honoring Bill Nicholson will be erected on the stadium’s south-western entrance. An old gate leading to the West Stand from White Hart Lane will also be installed here, and the statue of Nicholson will be placed at the center of the gate to replicate a famous Nicholson photograph from the past.

Other Uses of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The primary function of the stadium is to serve as Tottenham Hotspur’s home stadium, where they play all of their home Premier League and cup games. However, the stadium also hosts other football-related events. For example, in its inaugural season, it hosted the FA Women’s Super League’s first North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal on November 17, 2019, a live broadcast of the 2019 UEFA Champions League Final, a few Under-23s games, and a live screening of the UEFA Champions League Final.

The first and only stadium created specifically for NFL games outside of North America is Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. On October 6, 2019, the Chicago Bears and Oakland Raiders played in the stadium’s inaugural game. The Raiders prevailed 24-21 in front of a record attendance of 60,463. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosted the Carolina Panthers on October 13 of the following week.

NFL Flag Football

On July 3, 2019, the first UK regional flag football championships for students in grades 8 through 11 were held. 180 young athletes from 12 schools participated in the first-ever competitive NFL games at the stadium. Godmanchester’s Houghton Primary School defeated Flintshire’s Ysgol Gwynedd School 32–31.

Rugby Union

The stadium will host the annual championship game of the rugby union team Saracens for the next five years beginning in 2020. However, due to the aforementioned pandemic, the first game that was originally scheduled for March 28, 2020, was postponed. Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and their relegation from Premiership Rugby, Saracens also skipped the stadium in 2021. The stadium eventually hosted Saracens’ first game, which they won over Bristol Bears on March 26, 2022.

Rugby League

The 2022 Challenge Cup Final between Huddersfield Giants and Wigan Warriors, which was played on May 28, 2022, was the first significant rugby league game to take place at the stadium after the pandemic forced the cancellation of the third and final test of the 2020 Ashes series, which was originally scheduled for November 14, 2020. On May 28, this venue hosted the 2022 Challenge Cup Final in place of its customary venue, Wembley Stadium, which was hosting the EFL Playoffs. However, the 2022 RFL 1895 Cup final for clubs outside of the Super League was played that day before the Challenge Cup Final, making it the first rugby league game ever held there.

Hockey

One of four stadiums chosen for a joint bid for the 2026 Men’s FIH Hockey World Cup is the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A finals weekend at the stadium is suggested in the announcement from England Hockey and Hockey Wales made on August 3rd, 2022.

Concerts

Originally scheduled to take place on May 29–30, 2020 as part of their Guns N’ Roses 2020 Tour’s European leg, Guns N’ Roses’ first performances at the stadium were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They eventually took place on July 1-2, 2022. 86,508 people attended Lady Gaga’s concerts at the stadium over the course of two nights in July 2022 after she rescheduled The Chromatica Ball performances.

Boxing

The heavyweight world championship match between Anthony Joshua and Kubrat Pulev was originally scheduled to take place in the stadium on June 20, 2020. The fight eventually took place at Wembley Arena in December after being later postponed. On September 25, 2021, Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk squared off in a boxing match at the new stadium. Joshua was defending his WBA (super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles, while Usyk was a former undisputed cruiserweight champion contesting his third fight at heavyweight. In front of a 65,000-person audience, Usyk decisively defeated Joshua.

The stadium was the first neighborhood gathering place to be established for the delivery of food to vulnerable Londoners during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Women’s Outpatient Services of the North Middlesex University Hospital were moved to the stadium to free up hospital capacity and to keep expectant mothers away from the hospital. It was also the first location to be used as a center for drive-through COVID-19 testing.
