I went to the new Spurs Stadium yesterday to watch the NFL game between the Panthers and Bucs. I was impressed by Wembley but this ground is mind blowing. We'll worth a visit, pricey once inside, £6.00 a pint but that's NFL pricing, usually £4.50. The best fan experience I've ever had, the concourses are huge with a massive range of drinks and food. The seating is extremely good, I was in the cheap seats but the view was amazing and still felt close to the action. Due to having 4 train stations close by 60,000 fans left with no issues. No long queues and mayhem like at Wembley. Game finished and was back home within 3 and half hours, watching niners game.
Really want to get to this stadium. Not many I haven’t been to. White hart lane I didn’t get to and I’m gutted but can’t wait to get to this one. Also emirates.
I know the building of it ran over but no expense as been spared. They've future proofed it and they'll make the build costs back in no time. The acoustics are extremely good so I'd expect big concerts to played there. NFL tied in for quite a long time.
Have you seen the video on their youtube of how they transform the stadium for NFL games? 49ers are looking the real deal, they're my NFL team - had a tenner on them to reach the Superbowl final.
I was there yesterday and the week before for the Raiders/Bears game. Cheap seats last week but up in the premium seats yesterday. This stadium is everything Wembley should have been. Phenomenal. I also had a presentation from the Head of Marketing at the company who designed the food and beverage offer, and everything has been planned with meticulous detail. Will definitely have live music there next Summer as they're deliberately calling it an entertainment and sports stadium rather than just 'football ground'. Fans hang around drinking in the concourses for two or three hours after the Spurs games.
Yep it's amazing how the transform the pitch. Got home just in time to see the Niners beat up the Lambs. I'm a massive niners fan, we've be brilliant so far. Missing 2 starting tackles, fullback and a corner. Scary thing is they left around 2 TDs out on the pitch, they can get much better. Salah's got the defence playing nasty and calculated plays joy to watch. Shanahan will want to smash the Redskins next week, he hates the owner.
The whole day was amazing, best venue in the UK by a mile. The whole pre game build up under stands was outstanding. Spurs fans must love it.
The 17,000 capacity stand (just one tier) behind the goal is incredible. I'd rather they had four games a year at Spurs than two at Wembley. I'll be there every Sunday when London eventually gets a franchise. I'm hopefully going to the 49ers/Cardinals game next month by the way.
I'm jealous mate, would love to see this Niners team up close. Was a pleasure to watch Christian McCaffery yesterday, one Stanford player wished we signed. Gerald McCoy had a day as well, revenge was sweet. Winston was toilet, complete brain fart. I'm planning on a family holiday to Cal at some point, and try and sneak a game at Levi without the missus noticing.
Are the FA still contracted to Wembley for FA Cup semi finals? Old romantic that I am, I still think they should be at neutral venues. With Spurs new ground, and the Emirates, plus the Olympic Stadium, there are arguably 3 stadiums large enough in London now, add in Millennium Stadium Cardiff, Anfield, both Manchester United and City and say Newcastle, we've got 8 venues that can hold more than 50,000. Just a thought.
Not been to Tottenhams new ground but it looks fantastic. Brother in law treated me to an executive pass at the Emirates when his team ( Sunderland) played Arsenal in the Premiership. The whole ground exudes class. Comfortable seats, panoramic view and excellent catering. A truly memorable experience.
