Tottenham's new stadium - seven design features

Spurs are finally going to move into their new home.

Tottenham finally move into their new stadium when they take on Crystal Palace on 3 April.

The club has had to play at Wembley for almost two years as the project suffered delays, but the 62,000-seater state-of-the-art stadium will be worth the wait for the players and fans.

Here, Press Association Sport reveals seven things you might not have known about the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Remembering White Hart Lane

Stood on the site of the old White Hart Lane, Tottenham have remembered their famous old home in a number of ways. The concourses around the stadium are made from the crushed rubble of the old stadium, while there is a plaque in the South Stand marking where the centre circle was. Also, the walls around certain areas of the stadium are decorated with front covers of old matchday programmes.

Anfield has the Kop, Borussia Dortmund have the Yellow Wall and now Spurs have their own – as yet unnamed version – in the form of the South Stand. The imposing 17,500-seater single tier stand was designed by acoustic experts with the intention of helping to deliver the best possible atmosphere. When it is in full flow, it should be a real sight to see.

Microbrewery

There are a number of firsts at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, including becoming the first football arena to home a microbrewery. Beavertown, a local beer company, will brew their own blends within the Tottenham Tap Room in the South East corner. Beware of Black Betty, though – a 7.4% Black India IPA.

Goal line bar

If having beer brewed within the stadium was not enough, the new stadium is also home to the longest continuous bar in Europe, measured at 65 metres long. It is housed in the South Stand at the back of the Market Place – a food court area with a host of dining options that will stay open for two hours after full-time.

NFL pitch

Spurs have an agreement with the NFL to stage at least two matches a year for 10 years and because of that they have an artificial playing surface that is sitting under the main football pitch. The grass football pitch will retract underneath the South Stand – a process which will take 25 minutes.

Cashless environment

While there will be plenty of places to spend your money around the new stadium, which also includes the biggest club shop in Europe, you will be unable to spend any cash as the club are only accepting cashless payments.

Skywalk

This one is still in the making, but London will have a new tourist attraction when they open the Skywalk – a glass walkway 40 metres above the pitch. You will be able to walk around the roof of the stadium, taking in stunning views across the capital. Those who enjoy adrenaline-filled activities will be able to abseil from the roof to ground level.
