Has anyone been on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tour?

[Hibbyradge]

I went on Friday and, honestly, my mind was blown.

The thought that has gone into that place is incredible, not to mention the money.


Every detail imaginable has been given attention and that's before you even get into the actual arena.

Those of you who live in London really should take the tour and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone else who visits the Big Smoke.

So good. 😊

This is probably going to sound arsey but it’s not I’m genuinely intrigued, what is so special about the place?

I wouldn't know where to start, tbh, but this video gives you an idea. It really is amazing and most likely it's the best stadium in the world.

It's supposed to have cost £1billion, but I asked and was told that it was actually closer to £2b!

It's a brilliant stadium; I wouldn't mind taking a look around. How much is the tour?

[Pretty Boy]

In terms of attention to detail, facilities, sight lines etc etc it's a phenomenal space. It's much like Wembley, but better, in that regard and the fact it remains in Spurs traditional heartland rather than some out of town IKEA flat pack is in it's favour as well.

Modern stadiums leave me pretty cold though. It sounds daft but the purpose built nature of them detracts imo. When I was in Miami a few years back I went to a Hurricanes college game and a Dolphins NFL game. The Hurricanes were in the old Orange Bowl. Right by Little Havana, it was all faded steelwork, minging toilets and was almost unbearably hot. It was amazing. What was then Dolphins Stadium (now the obligatory sponsored Hard Rock Stadium) was showing it's age a bit, hence a multi million pound refurb recently, but was still light years ahead in terms of facilities. It was cold though and the attempts to make it 'traditional' just made it worse. I was also lucky enough to attend a Raiders game in the Colleseum and that was as close to a football atmosphere I've seen in the US. It was properly hostile and I mean that as a huge compliment. It was falling apart at the seams even then and was arguably even worse in terms of facilities than the Orange Bowl. They now play in a $2bn stadium in Las Vegas. I know where I would rather watch them again.

I get it. The world has changed and in stadium craft breweries, street food vendors, creches and Michelin star dining is where we are. I'd still rather watch a game at Somerset Park though.

[Hibbyradge]

It was £27 each, but we were allowed as long as we wanted in every area and, in addition to a brilliant, interactive audio/video guide, there were human guides in every area ready to give you anecdotes and answer questions.

We were there for over 2 hours and Mrs R, who isn't very interested in football, thought the tour was fantastic. Brownie points collected. 😁

I know what you mean and Fenway Park in Boston is my favourite American stadium, but Somerset Park over the Spurs Stadium? Come on! :wink:

[Hibbyradge]

I'm not a fan as such, eg I don't hate Arsenal 😄 but I have a soft spot for them because I watched them in the late 80s one week and Palace the next. I was "given" (cost me £30) a season ticket with 7 games of the season left by one of the guys who used to stand on the shelf beside us because he signed semi-pro.

As a result I was at the FA Cup semi against Arsenal and the Final they won against Forest in 91. Then I was at Hampden for our Skol Cup win. What a year!

They also probably said the same back in the 30s when concrete replaced cinders and ashes, when main stands became all seated, when the whole stadium became all seated. Things move on and always have. The modern stadiums are said to lack character but thats generally an opinion of an older generation who hanker back to the "good old days" I doubt the under 30s attending matches think the same or would readily go back to the the stadium and facilities of old. I love Hampden Park, in an almost nostalgic way, but there is no doubt Scotland needs a far better facility as a national stadium.

Did you get a £1 rebate on your Arsenal ticket? £27 for a tour of a stadium that’s been around for 5 minutes and you got anecdotes D?

[hibbie02]

It is meant to be some place and specifically designed to host NFL games too, with an alternative pitch I believe. It looks great with the big single end based on German ideas. I love new stadia. Been to the Arsenal ground a few times. Beautiful! Was in the hospitality suite for a Coldplay concert too. Phenomenal. I also love the Raymond James stadium in Tampa with the pirate ship at one end. Great place but no shade!!!

The grass pitch at Spurs is above the American Football one and it slides under the south stand to reveal the plastic one!

There are special lights, wind machines and mowers under the stand too. It's engineering genius.

[Rattler]

From what I remember seeing on TV, they have beer glasses that fill up from the bottom - mind blown lol

I was at the Spurs v Inter Milan game 2 years ago when the stadium was only a few months old. Filling up pint glasses from the bottom was certainly an interesting talking point about the visit, but so too was everything else including live music in the concourse etc

Only downside was the hike to the tube and the queue to get on one.

Would still go back anytime. Head and shoulders above anything up here!

[Antifa Hibs]

I can appreciate the design, architecture and engineering but couldn't watch fitba there every week. Too clean and modern. Give me the San Siro or something any day of the week - or Easter Road for that matter.


Speaking of tours, the best one i've done hands down is the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

[bigwheel]

The Spurs stadium is the best I’ve ever visited. Better than the new Wembley and the Arsenal stadium now seems dated compared to it. It is perfection. An incredible place to visit. Perfect for watching football. Good atmosphere too.

Not been on the tour, but they also have a sky walk around the top of the stadium too as something visitors can do…

I think it's about par for the course for a top end stadium now.

As I said above the Allegiant Stadium in Vegas cost just shy of $2bn. Wembley costs over £700m 15 years ago. The At&t Stadium in Dallas was $1.3bn and that was started around the same time as Wembley. The SoFi Stadium in LA will take some beating though. Not a kick in the arse of $6bn.

I suppose they aren't just building stadiums for football or sports fans now. They are all 'multi purpose entertainment venues' and over their lifetime will generate far more revenue than that initial cost and the upkeep.

Been over to the shop but not done the tour. Did they go ahead with that 'cheese room' that was originally planned😉?

Lived opposite Highbury and Arsenal's new place for years. The Emirates is impressive, although I do find it a bit too 'comfortable' for my liking but the tour there is very good. Must do the Spurs one sometime as it does look to be on another level that place.

[Brummie_Hibs]

Great stadiums I'm sure, but would they feel like 'home'?

ER is special 'cause it's ours. If it was part of Ocean Terminal or whatever it would just be a place to go watch Hibs.

I'd hate the idea that our stadium was being used by every Tom, Dick and Harry doing their weekly shopping or going to the cinema at 'our' stadium.

I'd be delighted with a super-duperr ER with heated, padded seats though, and the beer glass thing should be looked into for sure.

Genuine question, why exactly is the Emirates too comfortable?

[OstKurve Hibs]

I worked at the stadium for 6 months during construction, anyone that visits should try the turkish restaurants on the tottenham high road outside the ground, amazing food they rustle up there and cheap aswell.

I remember visiting my mate in utrecht, holland. One day we were out cycling and went past the utrecht fc stadium, if he hadnt told me it was the stadium I'd have had no idea. Looked more like a shoppin centre/office block than a stadium

Utrecht is a fantastic stadium. Been there since the 30s but had several renovations.

[Baader]

Genuine question, why exactly is the Emirates too comfortable?

Its a very good stadium, don't get me wrong just always found it a bit too corporate. The seats are all padded, there's too much space between rows and fans which doesn't help the atmosphere or make for a particularly intimidating environment. Arsenal were never renowned for making much noise as it was (it was mockingly called The Highbury Library for a reason.) Could have benefitted from fans being closer to one another, bit steeper. A single tier wall like what Spurs done after looking at Dortmund would improve it.

Many a Gunner bemoan the loss of Highbury as the club seemed to lose something of their identity after it (Wenger himself even said so after retiring.) The narrow pitch and fans on top of each other provided a more intense atmosphere that drove the team on. Maybe no coincidence they took so long to win silverware after leaving as the style of play had to change. They finished fourth in the league that final season but made the Champions League final. The Emirates just seems to contribute to that stereotype (partly unfair but probably partly true) Arsenal now have of the 'bourgeois' North London club, the first £1k season ticket holders, some of whom are more interested in networking than watching a game of football.

And seriously I've heard 20k at ER generate way more noise than 60k at The Emirates.

[Keith_M]

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question in some detail it's much appreciated, I lived/worked in Stevenage in the early 70s and my next door neighbour was an Arsenal fanatic, they were also pretty successful with some Scots involved in the team, so I developed a bit of a soft spot for them.
Again many thanks 👍

[Keith_M]

I just checked how much the Allianz Arena (cap 70k when all seated) cost and, in today's money, it's around £490M.

Different location and facilities, I suppose, but I can't really imagine needing anything at a football stadium that isn't provided at the Allianz Arena.


It's not my opinion that counts though, and I'm sure the Spurs fans are delighted with their new stadium.

That's a sign of too comfortable or too far imo. Imagine ER with the Dunbar End in blue or maroon. It's a no from me.

On the other hand, that set up could be used to light up the away end in green and white which would work much better as we could do our entire stadium in our colours.

Except against Celtc, when the Dunbar end would be orange.

Yes and I've also done the skywalk, absolutely epic. Cannot recommend enough. Most modern stadiums are soulless affairs, like Celtic Park. New WHL is absolutely not, its a thing of beauty. Even designed with the help of sound engineers to build atmosphere.

[Danderhall Hibs]

I went on Friday and, honestly, my mind was blown.

The thought that has gone into that place is incredible, not to mention the money.


Every detail imaginable has been given attention and that's before you even get into the actual arena.

Those of you who live in London really should take the tour and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone else who visits the Big Smoke.

Done it today HR - really good. Very impressive. I managed to get to a game last year before lockdown (FA cup replay) and the sound and view is brilliant.

Well impressed with the dressing rooms and the directors view. The view from there makes me wonder why a manager would sit in the dugout when they could see the play from up there.

[lyonhibs]

From what I remember seeing on TV, they have beer glasses that fill up from the bottom - mind blown lol

Having been to a CL game there (they got ridden 8-2 by Bayern Munich :faf::faf:) I can confirm this. It's an incredible stadium for a team of incredible underachievers.

I blanked this thread thinking why would I want to tour a Stadium that has only been here 5 minutes ?

I have underwear older than it

I must say though watching the YouTube VT seriously impressive stuff

Night and day compared to our beautiful wee Stadium that we could only afford to build as star players got sold :greengrin

Think they would miss a couple of giant screens for our corners ?

[overdrive]

Couldn’t get booked on the tour but we did the Dare Skywalk on the roof of the stadium on Friday. What a stadium. The guide was saying it has been built in such a way that the noise from a match can’t be heard from around 200 metres away.

I’d highly recommend the Skywalk, though it was quite wet and I actually slipped at one point. Luckily, I was strapped in!

Next time we’re in London, we’re going to do the tour and go back up and do the abseil down the stadium.

[HibbyAndy]

Any trophies?

:tee hee::tee hee:

[heretoday]

!2 pints filled from the bottom in 20 seconds or whatever. Respect. All they need now is a team to match. Better not sell Harry Kane!

If they get the NFL franchise it could be seen as a good bit of business. Looks amazing on the YouTube video

[Renton1875]

Anyone been to a Spurs home game at the new stadium using a ticket bought on stubhub or similar?

A friend of mine is coming across from the US and has bought tickets for the next home game from stubhub but is now concerned he'll not get in having read that reselling tickets is illegal.

Not sure how he'd be found out if it's a case of scanning your ticket to get in?
