[Football] Spurs New Ground

[8ace]

An increased capacity stadium - up from 56,250 to 61,000 seats, featuring the largest single tier stand in the UK, now increased to 17,000 seats, with an unrivalled spectator experience throughout and spectators closer to the pitch than at any other comparable size stadium in the UK.

Apparently going to have a retractable pitch so they can host 2 NFL games a season!!

 

[Simster]

61,000 then.

Nothing to do with Arsenal's capacity being 60,432 I'm sure.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

That 17,000 seat end behind the goal looks a bit like the North Stand at The Amex.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

Does look bloody fantastic. I think I might have to adopt them as my 'Premiership Team.' Seriously though, decent looking stadium.

 

[Badger]

Biggest stadium in the Europa League then.

Why didn't the artist be more realistic and show it two thirds full?

To be fair, Spurs have sold out pretty much every home league game for about 15 years!

How will other world cities match up with London for decent stadia in a few years time?

Can anywhere else match the likes of Wembley, The Emirates, new Spurs, new Chelsea, West Ham/Olympic stadium and Twickenham?

On the flip side, how many other world cities will have a top flight stadium as embarassingly shithouse as Selhurst Park?

I can't think of one off hand.
Foreign stadiums are often multi-team and/or multi-use unlike in this country. Also London is quite large as cities go.

Should be busy @ Seven Sisters tube

London to host the World Cup on its own?

 

[Dan Aitch]

Let's hope they sort out the appalling public transport access.

Croydon isn't in London it's an entirely different city all together, on it's own. If you listen to them...

Indeed. Spurs tend to have more problems on the pitch.

Nowhere else comes close. The only American city with two NFL teams is New York; they share a stadium (in New Jersey). LA has quite a few college football grounds, but these don't tend to be as high-spec as our modern football stadia.

Black hole of Calcutta is the only other one I can think of
