A world class stadium
Key Facts:
A cut through of the new stadium
• 58,237 seating capacity:
- Lower Tier: 20,811 seats, 26 rows of seating
- Middle Tier: 6,776 seats, 8 rows of seating
- Box Tier: 1,358 seats in 132 boxes
- Upper Tier: 29,292 seats, up to 39 rows of seating
• The oval configuration allows the greatest number of spectators to sit in the middle of the stands.
• The North / South orientation of the pitch is retained.
• The pitch is slightly enlarged to UEFA standard size (105m x 68m).
• All seats have clear sight-lines of the entire pitch.
• The front rows of seating are only 8m from the pitch touchlines and goal lines.
• Modern seating standards will ensure comfortable seats and more leg-room than at the current ground.
• Giant video screens (18m x 9m) will be located at two corners of the stadium.
• Generous concourse areas will contain ample provision of toilets, catering facilities and first aid stations.
• High quality entrances are located in the centre of each stand, with a clearly defined main West stand entrance accessed directly from the High Road.
• The Cockerel will be visually prominent over both West and East stand entrances.
• There is full compliance with FLA "Accessible Stadia" standards, with wheelchair user positions in each tier of seating.
• 276 car parking spaces are provided within the body of the stadium, accessed off Worcester Avenue.
• The team coach arrival and drop off point will be within view outside the West Stand main entrance, as now.
Maximising Stadium Atmosphere
• Proximity to the pitch - Spectators in this stadium will find themselves closer to the pitch that at any other comparable stadium in the UK.
• Keeping fans together - We will seek to keep fans together in groups when we move to retain the camaraderie which has built up over the years.
• Excellent acoustics - We are working with professional sound engineers to ensure that noise is retained within the Stadium.
• No open corners - So the crowd noise is focussed back onto the pitch.
Proximity to the pitch
'Flowing Lines' Design
• The design concept aims to capture the essence of the Spurs identity.
• It uses flowing lines of external cladding, a gracefully undulating roof and the Club colours to create a visually stunning stadium.
• Aluminium shingle cladding to main body of building will give a high quality appearance, with navy blue glazed terracotta cladding to the stairs.
• The entrances at each corner will contain additional arched glazing, with external video screens and information bars to provide a visual emphasis at the natural approach points.
• The roof itself follows the line of the seating bowl and helps keep crowd noise inside the stadium to improve the match day atmosphere.
• At its highest point, the roof is 42m above the surrounding pavement.
"The atmosphere in the stadium and its impact on the players can never be underestimated. Having the fans right up close, on the edge of the action, can lift the team on the day when it matters most and make the stadium a fortress"
