Tottenham’s new 56,000-seat stadium to have single-tier Kop
Tottenham Hotspur confirmed on their official website that planning application for a new 56,000-seat stadium has been submitted to Haringey Council. The club outlined the main features of the proposed development with the following bullet points:
• Inclusion of new 63 row single-tier stand responds to Club desire to create the most atmospheric stadium in Europe
• Planning application lodged with Haringey Council for a world-class stadium, public square, hotel, supermarket, homes and space for the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation
• Delivered on the current site and adjacent land, ending concerns about a move out of the Borough with no need for even a temporary move during construction
• Major investment into North Tottenham to provide a huge boost to the area
• A flagship for the wider regeneration of the area
As the first bullet reveals, the ground’s design incorporates a single-tier stand – like The Kop at Anfield. That’s great news for Spurs fans – I’m a big fan of single-tier stands, as they really do allow fans to feel like part of a whole section of fans (multi-tiered stands fragment fans), not to mention offering a great view of the pitch.
The new stadium, which will probably be named after a big-money sponsor (hey, I like ‘Naming Rights Stadium’) – like Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium – will be built adjacent to White Hart Lane, where the team will continue to play during construction. The site also includes 434 new homes, a 150-room hotel and a supermarket, all of which will contribute to the regeneration of an area of north London that badly needs a facelift.
Tottenham’s website has more info, while you can check out a gallery of the project below. Gotta say, the Kop-like stand looks terrific:

As a Pompey fan, I can’t tell you how envious I am.
Looks lovely, innit.
As Long as they name something after the Great Bill Nicholson
Good 4 spurs!
can we have top steak pies for a reasonable price with a coffee…..at half time!…..marvellous
That single-tier stand looks like the one at the Signal Iduna Park (formerly the Westfalenstadion) of Borussia Dortmund’s.
Rip off Liverpool then losers. Building tradition
That looks incredible.
Nearly as daunting as The Main Stand at The City Gorund.
I think that huge Tottenham Hotspur banner looks pretty rubbish.
Who cares ? They’ll never be in the CL anyway. World-class players coming to London will always choose Chelsea or Arsenal. You can’t break into the Big Four without this kinda player, because MU, Man City and Liverpool will be too big for you as well.
This venue will be briefly seen on TV by a small domestic audience 4 or 5 times a year, when they host a big name in the Premiership. Sorry Ollie, but this is the sad ugly truth, and you know it
There’s some information about the new stadium on this link
