One game a year?
The stadium looks fantastic.
Great 2 minute video released by the club ahead of our first Prem game tomorrow in the new stadium:

But Glaston told us it was a long way short of £1 billion? Surely as Spurs' official PR man he can't have been wrong?Daniel Levy said:
Levy: "the total cost of the project is around £1bn" … i.e. the Northumberland Development Project.
Yes, and it’s a different game.
So this is what all this “game changer” is really all about..
Love the mass end behind the goal, think that's a brilliant "different" aspect compared to all the other new builds which are all three tier identkit in style. Looking forward to seeing if you can really get a great atmosphere going in that area.
Problem as I've said is all those dark seats, just makes things look a bit dull. Milton Keynes ground is very similar. Where are the white and blue seats, those are your colours after all.

Could have done with a few more panning shots of the cock on the roof.... 12 wasn't enough.
Yep more cock please
Imagine one night the pitch just starts retracting whilst spurs are playing a crucial league game, a bit like like when the sprinklers accidentally come on at a regular football ground.
Now imagine that happening but in order to be all outlandish and 'game changey' the pitch flips rather than sliding in-out
Surely the FA would have to fine them if that were to occur - healthy & safety and all that stuffNow imagine that happening but in order to be all outlandish and 'game changey' the pitch flips rather than sliding in-out
So did much people stick around last night out of interest? @GlastonSpur ?
No but all Cheese rooms in the local vicinity were packed to the rafters afterwards.
Its a beautiful stadium but I still miss how close the original white hart lane was to the pitch and just how nice that stadium was as well.
Maybe I'm just being nostalgic.

There was a lot of talk about it on the radio etc last night.
Generally major platitudes like “it’s the best stadium in the world now” and suchlike were used. Having (of course) not been yet myself, but having been to the Maracana, Old Trafford and Wembley I can’t see it even being in the top 3.
But I’m absolutely willing to hear reasons that it is.
Apparently they’ve made the away dressing rooms terrible, which is so ridiculously petty and Wimbledonesque.

I would have preferred some more of those poorly framed shots that don't quite show you the entirety of what they're showing you.
Shit hype video and press releases aside, the stadium looks gorgeous. But it's a new stadium so it's not surprising.
"Regular European challenger"
Can any Spurs fans help me out here, surely Tottenham just rent units out in the stadium, so empty or full they dont make anymore money as the rent they charge is fixed?
Now I'm not sure how many units there are to rent out, it's a clever little way of making more money having businesses in there, but you wont be making money from the food and drink those businesses sell, just the monthly rent right?

Well, the media certainly like it:
The Guardian: "... the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is an astonishing place, a giant, reverberating ball of air in a fine steel and glass case. It is a wonderfully open thing too, reaching up to the moon on all sides, but somehow also airy and uplifting."
Daily Telegraph: "The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – or whatever it will be called once the naming rights are sold – is more than a new stadium. … that name should be the Wow Stadium … the best on the market."
* The Daily Mirror: "How it compares to other stadiums: The best by far!"
* The Guardian: "One word: Wow. … it was to be expected the 62,062-seater venue would raise the bar – and it has done so spectacularly."
* BBC MoTD Mag: "Spurs’ new stadium is from the year 3000".
* Ian Abrahams (TalkSport): “This is the best stadium in this country, and best I have seen on my travels around the world."
Sky Sports: "The stadium is spectacular, its curving stands steep and imposing, but where the club have succeeded most is by creating so many genuine connections to White Hart Lane. … The new home retains the spirit and feel of the old one, but what's undoubtedly different is the sheer volume inside the place. With its 62,000 capacity, the stadium holds nearly twice as many supporters as White Hart Lane. At times, the old songs echoed around it at ear-splitting levels."
The Independent: "... stunning aesthetics and attention to detail …"
It looks brilliant, like they have really thought about the optimum experience and atmosphere for football.
Great decision by Spurs to do this - just look at what West Ham fans have to put up with.

Friend went last night.
They waited around for an additional 90 minutes after the game...
Doubled the capacity. Done close to feck all about the transport links. He was stuck in the cold waiting to get home.
Levy is a genius?

They'll sort it all out quickly enough. These big one off projects always have issues to sort.
Looks cracking.
What's the title about? 'Test events'? Was the Palace game a friendly?
Looks a lot less egg-like than Emirates, Estadio da Luz and Etihad. Still a lot of these new and renewed stadiums look too much alike for me.
It's not in a great place for public transport but they might be redoing WHL Station and building a walkway to the ground. Otherwise its just going to be a lot more traffic for the people of Tottenham.
I think with holding onto Poch (Madrid and United got sorted internally), opening a new fantastic stadium, now is the time for the owners to show the club what their true ambition is and enter the market guns blazing to sign what ever they need.
Next year could really be the year Spurs get out of Chelsea and Arsenal's shadow and overtake them.

I bet Harry was gutted that he didn't score first.
According to TalkSport the biggest complaint was about a 20 min journey to get to the toilets at half time....oh and they ran out of beer, which seems strange as they have their own brewery.

I don’t think anyone has ever said a bad word about the stadium.
I thought they’d have massively increased transport links as part of the renovation. They doubled capacity.
So it's just a massive Weatherspoons then?
There's talk of staging an Anthony Joshua boxing match at our new stadium - which if it happened would be the 3rd type of non-football sporting event to be hosted there, alongside the agreed Rugby Union and NFL deals.
Indeed...
That’s a lot of glowing praise. Hopefully it gives you a few happy memories but never at our expense of course.
I wonder if it’s giving the board of directors at Man Utd good for thought. Old Trafford is a wonderful place to play football and all but if you’re standing still you’re moving backwards in sporting terms.
You have to move forwards to stand still in football.
Hopefully we never leave OT, only update it.
It’s can be very costly and time consuming updating than ou may think. It’s not something that could simply just be done in the off season. I love OT by the way, there is no missing what United have won and the history with it.
I live in London, unlike @GlastonSpur and was on the tube with lots of Spurs fans last night @ about 18:30 - but maybe next time they will visit the stadium and enjoy the TVs in the early afternoon...
That’s why people will start to leave in the 85th minute. Happens everywhere in London. Londoners just want to get home quickly. They won’t be visiting the Olive Garden after the match.
Get 7 more and I think you can choose between a free coffee or a trophy.
Coffee all day mate you seen the price of a cappuccino in London?
