What Football Experience Can Supporters Expect?
One of the best football has ever offered. Uninterrupted views of the pitch which don’t need binoculars, no matter where in the long sides or short sides you sit. For those with an eye on the best seats in the house, an unrivalled tunnel experience will bring you closer to the players before, during and after the match! Although it is a bowl in shape, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has four distinct stands. Two short sides – South Stand and North Stand, mostly for home fans with visiting supporters in the north-eastern corner – run into long sides, the East and West Stands.
South and North Stands
The South Stand is the short side, where the home fans will congregate, will be the largest single tier stand in English football. The club wants this to be the lifeblood of the stadium, copying the effect the Yellow Wall at Dortmund.
Building a red-hot atmosphere for matchdays is something Wembley cannot generate; Tottenham fans can’t wait to get ‘home’ and greet the opposition with a spine-tingling rendition of ‘When the Spurs go Marching in’. If it could make the hairs on your arms stand on end at White Hart Lane, the new home with its’ acoustics designed to add volume to the voices, will have them marching in time with the crescendo.
Visiting supporters will be housed in the upper tier where the north and east stands meet. For cup games, an additional 1,500 seats in the lower tier will be made available. If you want to savour the atmosphere, you can’t go wrong being close to where home and away fans meet.
East and West Stands
The two long sides are where premium seats mingle with the hoi-polloi. Both stands will have four tiers with two set aside for boxes and corporate ticketing. Fans will be able to relax in wider seats than at White Hart Lane, with more legroom as a norm. Everything about the stadium designed for comfort. There will be plenty of concessions on concourses with the club dropping the idea of making it a ‘card only’ stadium. Tottenham’s club shop is already the biggest in Europe and there are more outlets around the stadium; official souvenirs and mementoes of your day are close to hand!
