Going to love the single tier stand. Looks imposing.
For scale reference, you can walk under the stand where the trays come out as that gap is at least 3m.

Looks good but **** off with the NFL logo this is a proper football ground first and foremost

Interesting! I'll have to see if there's any on when I'm over there.

I'll be doing a stadium tour anyway, not sure if I'll get to a game or not though.

Sep 10 - Oct 16.

I think there's a game on there but I thought it might have been at Wembley.

Ha, wouldn't you know it!

Although I'm spewing, would have loved to have been there to see my Eagles.

Aren’t you there whilst it’s on?
Tickets for our game haven’t been released yet as they’re yet to finalise an NFL seating plan, which has far more camera locations which affect restricted viewing seating.

Yeah I am for the Tottenham game. Will definitely be trying to get tickets for that.

Imagine it'll sell out bloody quickly though. Have registered my interest but if they go on sale overnight, I might get screwed :(

Hospitality packages next week.
GA early September apparently.
 
That is what you call a stadium. Hard for me to grasp in all honesty

Not for want of trying. In fact the only reason you're building at White Hart Lane is because you got your pants pulled down by West Ham over the Olympic Stadium.

Cullen said: "Maybe we were mad [to stay in Tottenham]. We are all on our knees – I was in San Diego on holiday and I think Daniel was in Florida.

"The riots happened in Tottenham. We had a telephone conversation and we said, 'That’s it – we stay in Tottenham'. Something good always comes from something bad.

"All of a sudden there’s focus from local regional and national government. We’d banged our heads against that brick wall for so long. Nobody would have spent money in an area that had no commitment from government to support infrastructure and transport.

"As soon as we had the riots everyone came back around the table and it was something we could do. We always wanted to stay in Tottenham."

So it appears as per our director that our mooted move to Stratford was basically down to lack of Government investment in the area.

"We are so worn down by the sheer effort of delivering it," Cullen added of the stadium, which will cost "£350-400million" – with the overall Northumberland Park project, including a hotel and nearly 600 new homes at closer to £850m.

"But it is really quite something. When you do walk into that bowl, it's like a coliseum. You'll have seen Hugo [Lloris] and Harry Kane's faces – there's nothing manufactured about that. It’s going to be hard not to feel the crowd there and for it not to be a great home territory and somewhere where hopefully away teams won’t like to come.

"We’re doing loads of touches that will bring us back from White Hart Lane. You’ve got to keep it real and authentic. You’ve got to pitch it so that a fan walks in and they know they’re in a feisty football stadium, but it is about just having more comfort really when you watch football.


"It’s the little touches. We had some design work that was going to cover the concourse floor and I said, ‘No, don’t do it’. The floor is unbelievable and it’s made of crushed White Hart Lane [bricks]."

For now, the venue will be called The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but Cullen said discussions with potential naming rights partners were "ongoing", while she did not rule out 'Tottenham' remaining in the name.

Cullen also said that snagging work on the stadium would continue even after it has opened, explaining: "Don't underestimate what a huge task we took on in order not to have a second season at Wembley.

"We are going to be saying to fans, 'We've got to where we've got to, come and enjoy and celebrate the opening but there will still be bits that we will want to do better, finish differently and complete'."

Cullen was speaking at an event in Los Angeles with First Star, a charity that helps foster youth. She said: "Children in care is one of the things we're really passionate about and "To Care is To Do" is one of our long-running projects, one in which we invest a lot of time and energy."

jd2010 see temporary name. Still searching for a name. Read the other day that Brexit is a problem as the Six Nations and Cricket having trouble with naming rights.

Also good to get confirmation about the stadium costing 350-400m which means it didn't blow out costs. The 400m figure quoted in 2007 was just the stadium but the one a couple years back was the whole project. Suspect the hotel and housing will be sold off to recoup funds.

Naming rights in all UK sport like I mentioned is struggling big time. Nike is apparently offering an okay short term option Nike London Football Stadium

I wouldn’t pay much attention to anything Moomba says about spurs in all honesty.
 
We were bound to play there in September. Potentially now moved to November. Club is in real danger of being forced back to Wembley if it’s not passed the safety test by the city game at the end of October.
