After almost two seasons at Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur fans will finally see the club at their new ground.
London rivals Crystal Palace will be the guests on Wednesday as the doors open for the sell-out Premier League clash – the first at the new White Hart Lane.

Tottenham Hotspur will play the first game at their new stadium on Wednesday
Built on the site of the old ground, the aptly named ‘Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’ – nobody will call it that – is magnificent and pays homage to the famous old ground.
Located in the South Atrium is a commemorative plaque where the centre spot at the old ground used to be.
Levy: Our new ground makes Tottenham a big club
The famous cockerel which perched above White Hart Lane has been scaled-up and now sits atop the South Stand at a height of 4.5 metres.
So how impressive is it? Thanks to The Times, fans can see just how much work has gone into what promises to be a marvellous stadium.

NO CASH
1 – The new ground will be the first in the country to not accept cash, with 878 payment points around the stadium.
6
It is strictly contactless payments only at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Fans without cash on them can put credit onto their stadium access cards and pay via that method.
With the biggest club shop in Europe, there will certainly be plenty of chances for fans to spend their cash.
STELLAR SCREENS
325m – As well as featuring the Golden cockerel, the South Stand will host the two big screens measuring 325m² – the largest in Western Europe.

The Golden cockerel stands magnificently on top of the South Stand
As if that was not impressive enough, there will be 17,500 home fans in the single tier stand and it has been influenced by Borussia Dortmund‘s ‘Yellow Wall’ at Signal Iduna Park.
Acoustic experts have designed the stand to help deliver the best possible atmosphere, so be sure to listen to the booming rendition of ‘Oh when the Spurs….’.
MAX CAPACITY
62, 062 – Tottenham can now boast the second largest club ground in the country, behind only Manchester United.

62,062 fans can fit into the new ground
While their rivals at Emirates stadium and London Stadium can barely contain more than 60,000, Spurs have gone one step further with their new ground.
With a retractable pitch and a sunken artificial surface, the new ground will also be able to host American football games. When the grass pitch is not required, it can stay in the conveniently located car parking garage for up to 10 days thanks to LED lighting, cooling and irrigation systems.
COSTLY MOVE
£850m – The estimated cost for the new stadium comes in just under the £1billion mark, slightly more expensive than the £789million to build Wembley.

Crystal Palace will be the first team to face Spurs in the new stadium
The initial diagnosis from the Northumberland Development Group estimated the construction of the new stadium would incur costs of around £400 million, but in 2017 it emerged it would actually be nearly double that.
HERE FOR THE BEER
10,000 – That’s how many pints of beer can be poured per minute thanks to new ‘bottoms-up’ technology.
There will also be a microbrewery in the southeast corner, with local brewer Beavertown brewing their own special concoctions in the ‘Tottenham Tap Room’.
The South Atrium will also host the ‘Goal Line Bar’ which runs the entire length of the goal line and is both the longest continuous bar in Europe and the largest bar in the UK at a whopping 65 metres long.
CLOSE TO THE ACTION
7.9 – The maximum distance in meters from the pitch to stand for fans.

Spurs fans will be much closer to the action than their London rivals
When West Ham United fans switched from Upton Park to London Stadium, the promise of retractable seating was a huge persuading factor. But some Hammers fans still find themselves 20m away from the pitch.
For some perspective, the furthest distance at the Emirates is 13.8m and 18m at Wembley.
White Hart Lane was a football stadium in Tottenham, North London and the home of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club from 1899 to 2017. Its capacity varied over the years; when changed to all-seater it had a capacity of 36,284 before demolition.
Well, it may have been late opening and come in over budget, but the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been worth waiting for. To say that it is fantastic, would be an understatement. With a capacity of 62,062 it is the second largest stadium in the Premier League. Not only is its size impressive, but the design and quality of build too.
