The famous cockerel which perched above White Hart Lane has been scaled-up and now sits atop the South Stand at a height of 4.5 metres.So how impressive is it? Thanks to The Times, fans can see just how much work has gone into what promises to be a marvellous stadium.

NO CASH

1 – The new ground will be the first in the country to not accept cash, with 878 payment points around the stadium.6

It is strictly contactless payments only at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Fans without cash on them can put credit onto their stadium access cards and pay via that method.With the biggest club shop in Europe, there will certainly be plenty of chances for fans to spend their cash.

STELLAR SCREENS

325m – As well as featuring the Golden cockerel, the South Stand will host the two big screens measuring 325m – the largest in Western Europe.6

The Golden cockerel stands magnificently on top of the South Stand

As if that was not impressive enough, there will be 17,500 home fans in the single tier stand and it has been influenced by Borussia Dortmund‘s ‘Yellow Wall’ at Signal Iduna Park.Acoustic experts have designed the stand to help deliver the best possible atmosphere, so be sure to listen to the booming rendition of ‘Oh when the Spurs….’.

MAX CAPACITY

62, 062 – Tottenham can now boast the second largest club ground in the country, behind only Manchester United.6

62,062 fans can fit into the new ground

While their rivals at Emirates stadium and London Stadium can barely contain more than 60,000, Spurs have gone one step further with their new ground.With a retractable pitch and a sunken artificial surface, the new ground will also be able to host American football games. When the grass pitch is not required, it can stay in the conveniently located car parking garage for up to 10 days thanks to LED lighting, cooling and irrigation systems.

COSTLY MOVE

850m – The estimated cost for the new stadium comes in just under the 1billion mark, slightly more expensive than the 789million to build Wembley.6

Crystal Palace will be the first team to face Spurs in the new stadium

The initial diagnosis from the Northumberland Development Group estimated the construction of the new stadium would incur costs of around 400 million, but in 2017 it emerged it would actually be nearly double that.

HERE FOR THE BEER

10,000 – That’s how many pints of beer can be poured per minute thanks to new ‘bottoms-up’ technology.

There will also be a microbrewery in the southeast corner, with local brewer Beavertown brewing their own special concoctions in the ‘Tottenham Tap Room’.The South Atrium will also host the ‘Goal Line Bar’ which runs the entire length of the goal line and is both the longest continuous bar in Europe and the largest bar in the UK at a whopping 65 metres long.

CLOSE TO THE ACTION

7.9 – The maximum distance in meters from the pitch to stand for fans.6

Spurs fans will be much closer to the action than their London rivals

When West Ham United fans switched from Upton Park to London Stadium, the promise of retractable seating was a huge persuading factor. But some Hammers fans still find themselves 20m away from the pitch.For some perspective, the furthest distance at the Emirates is 13.8m and 18m at Wembley.
