It’s nice. Looks cool. Some decent gizmos. Not as good as the Emirates though imo

Better than the Emirates in my opinion. The food was fine, seats fantastic, view really good. The stadium is a level or two above Arsenal’s.

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
Brilliant stadium. Didn’t have time to experience the food and drink but the ground looks great both inside and out and the view was superb. The atmosphere was pretty flat like most new grounds but there was a fair noise when they scored their first couple and also when Lennon came on. A cut above the Emirates and anywhere else in the country in my opinion.

Not sure how anyone can think the Emirates is better than that. Quite crowded on the concourse but much better in every other respect than the Emirates.

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
i was there on a corporate jolly along with 3 spurs fan, we had a corporate Loge in the East Atrium stand tier 2 just to the left and above the away fans- tattinger champagne on arrival, prawns, smoke salmon for starters and Lamb rum and artichoke for main- lots of fine wines, great deserts and cheeseboards to follow..........
the footie was crap but the stadium is amazing, the facilities are out of this world- shame we dint turn up today...

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
The ground looks great when you are in it, with good seats and sight lines. However the concourse is really small, much worse than CFS for crushing. Toilets a joke, too small and poorly laid out. The atmosphere was a bit weird the roof is so high it sounds like your outside very difficult to get a song going.
As pretty as it is and it is stunning to look at, personally I prefer Emirates and probably MK Dons.

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
Best stadium in the country, better than City, Wembley and certainly emirates in my opinion.
Looks like every little detail was well designed, concourse easy a bit tight but then I think that due to the score a lot of fans went down before half time and came back late.
Choice of food etc and facilities was good.
Decent view and the stands looked great, combination of a huge kop and the rest in tiers.
However I could many understand how it was so bloody windy in there!

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
Absolutely first class stadium. The crowding and queuing for the bar on the concourse was quite amusing as just up the staircase to the right there was a bar with no queue and plenty of space. I thought all the staff/stewards were excellent. Luckily I was on Row 2 so able to sit down to watch the game but the statement on the match ticket that 'Persistent Standing is Not Allowed' was just fiction. The four big screens, one in each corner, were amazing.

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
I like many others on here have been to every ground in the league. The away concourse at Spurs is nothing to write home about, all the bells and whistles will have been saved for the home ends / corporate.
The stadium though is amazing, the best I’ve been too, the stand behind the goal is absolutely breathtaking. 17,500 capacity, that’s more than Bournemouth’s whole ground!
It far surpasses the Emirates, in fact the Emirates is one of the worst grounds there is for being able to see the action from the away end. The view at Spurs was great.

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
Lower concourse was crazy, but as mentioned above up the stairs was another bar and more toilets which had no queues and loads of space. You could look out over the security gates on the way in. Surprising to see the amount of people the dogs picked out of the line and who were lead away.

The bag drop was appalling. Took about 15 minutes and was terribly organised - clearly an afterthought which is quite surprising.

Sadly, I did not get to test that theory, owing to the standing masses.

The Turf's better!
Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
I had little interaction with the facilities.
Arrived on kick off.
Straight in. Quick wee in poor, small toilets, up the ramp to entrance. Seat nearby.
Rail to hold for standing...which I had to do.
Seat - halftime - not as good as Emirates...which, nowadays is also just a H/T brief experience.
View ok. I think the cover for the lower rows would be useless if it rained. Why?
Big screens excellent. Goal signalling with names etc excellent.
Atmosphere- superb. Much much better than WHL, which was silent.

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
The away entrance is like an hi-tec version of Luton so far round from the train and behind a shop!
The staff had no idea! The security staff searching you were incredibly slow and rude
The concourse floor was as sticky as anywhere even at the worst grounds in the land even in areas where ale couldn’t have been spilt! The bottom fillingbeer idea was made a mockery off by then pouring it into another glass. I expected the biggest bar in the world as advertised and got Fawlty Towers
The advertising at multi levels and the stupid Spurs slogans together with the multi coloured lights in the roof spoilt it for me. Classless
In summary newt special the downsides outweigh the so called improvements

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
Personally loved it. Not usually a fan of new stadiums but ticked every box for me.
Modern. Spacious. Rail seating. Amazing view everywhere. Stewards were great (unusual as spurs have always seemd to have the worse). Kept their soul by staying in the heart of their own community. So was traditional outside. And their fans were great around the ground. Despite the result had a great day and a good laugh with proper football fans.

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
Agree with a lot of what has been mentioned.
As you walk from White Hart Lane Station the giant spaceship of a ground appears, a long walk to get to away end, the home end behind the goal is enormous, concourse too busy, toilets small.
If you are of a inquisitive nature don't touch the widget at the bottom of your pint, I saw a few lose their beers

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
A lot of whats been said about the new stadium I agree with ... but we went straight out and sat down so no problem with the concourse , so can't comment on that ... plenty of seat room for fat b'stards like me ... cracking Stadium and just edges the Emirates.... but wouldn't want that White Hart Lane Station experience every week ....

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
One of the best things about the stadium is that the big screens are accurately synched with the actual play, moreso than any other stadium I have been to. When you are low down behind the goals you can watch the play at the other end better in some parts on the screen....you can’t do this as well when you have a full second of discrepancy between the play and the screen....

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
Great photos, cricketfield. But, what made you get your camera out after they'd scored?
The concourse area is too small for away fans - but, perhaps that's how it feels for away team at Turf Moor.
Fantastic stadium. I've not experienced one better - but how many cost £1 billion?
I loved the rail seating. Is that the (prospectively) legal safe standing when the law is sorted? Was that all the way around the stadium? I thought they'd only installed a limited amount.
I guess we can also say we've proved that safe standing is safe....
Though, our test may not count as so many seemed to have missed their way back after HT.... and many others also called it a day after Kane's second.
Well done to the "longside singers" for the last 5-10 minutes or so.

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
What Spurs have done is installed ‘seating with barriers’ after the change in the green guide to football safety over a year ago. The seats are there and flip up.
Rail seating is different as the seats would be locked up if/when it becomes legal for fans to stand again in the top two divisions.
You could are that when that happens there’s be no need for the seats to be there at all. I know that in Europe stadia has to be all seater but, if England made it legal, I can’t see UEFA sticking to their guns for long.
For what it’s worth I like the fact you can sit down if you choose, maybe at half time etc, so prefer Spurs’ and Wolves’ design, although Wolves have gone for a much cheaper design than Spurs have.
Spurs have it in the bottom section of the large Kop stand (6,000 of the 17,500 seats), and also in the entire 3,000 away end.

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
Why did the away end have barriers to lean on whilst standing, yet on the match ticket it says persistent standing is an offence, surely having barriers there encourages people to stand.

Re: What was Tottenham's stadium like ?
The seating with barriers aren’t there for people to stand and lean against. They are there so that when people stand for short periods, like when celebrating a goal, they don’t fall forwards, or have someone fall on them.
That’s the official line but things need to chance for standing to be allowed officially. Unofficially it’s a standing area, hence why stewards didn’t ask you to sit down. As soon as the law changes they’ll stop printing that on the tickets.

I had long since given up on us by that point. We were abysmal. So was making sure I got some pictures and videos of a historic game.
Got a video of Sons goal as it happens. I saw it coming a mile off.
Stayed to the end mind. Just soaked it all in
