The elegant appearance of the new stadium is one of a kind. With wireless connection throughout the stadium and the societal importance of social media, fans can upload and share their live experiences. The two pitch system allows preservation of the natural turf playing surface for football, while providing the preferred playing surface for American football and a durable surface on which to host large events such as concerts. Spectators are seated closer to the pitch than the average stadium, with stands angled at 35 degrees creating a tighter stadium bowl and generating a ‘wall of sound’. The stadium has been designed with the importance of creating an unforgettable experience for everyone attending, with an acoustic atmosphere inspired by a concert hall. The club's ambition was to create a major sports and entertainment destination which can be used 365 days a year. UK-based engineering specialists Populous worked with Tottenham to design this new revolutionary stadium. With the long-awaited return of the Premier league after a COVID-19-based delay, in this blog, am going to take a deeper look into the engineering of the stadium and why it is so revolutionary. It was officially opened on Wednesday 3 April 2019 with its first Premier League match between Spurs and Crystal Palace. With the ability to seat more than 62,000 people the stadium is the biggest club stadium in London.

In an agreement between the NFL and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club the stadium will host a minimum of two NFL games per year over a 10-year agreed period. The design has incorporated a fully retractable pitch, making this the first in the UK to have a moving grass pitch and the first in the world to custom-build a place to host both football and NFL (American Football) games. The new £850 million Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is multi-award winning and sets a new benchmark in global stadium design.
