Blue skies thinking: How Tottenham's planned new stadium
should look.
The ground, which is yet to be named, will be built on
land close to White Hart Lane. And chairman Daniel Levy believes
the new stadium will benefit the club's supporters.
He said: "The brief I gave the architects was to design
an iconic stadium that would be one of the best in Europe. "My
over-riding priority is to re-create the terrific atmosphere we
have at the current stadium, within a world class stadium that
offers state-of-the-art facilities.
With the shape of the stadium and the wavy roof, Spurs
supporters could well be forgiven for thinking they are visiting
the home of their hated rivals. But KSS chairman David Keirle
believes the design is groundbreaking and are all about the Spurs
'brand'.
'The visuals of the new stadium show that it’s really seen as a
building which responds to the brand, which we see as representing
style and flowing lines of football.
Virtual Spurs fans walk to their new home.
The roof has been designed to focus the noise back onto
the crowd and onto the pitch. All seating is enclosed, there are no
open corners, so everything is focused back onto the pitch and the
acoustics will maximise the impact of the vocal support from
fans.
"This means designing a stadium which has supporters as
close as possible to the field of play and not simply looking to
chase headline capacity. "Our fans will find themselves closer to
the pitch than at any other comparable stadium in the UK. This
design puts fan experience first."
