Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
If they're right about the acoustics of this thing, then it's going to be a night at the opera for the players. They should be paying us.
Another great video. So good to see the stadium like this as once the roof is up I'm guessing we won't have such a good view into the stadium anymore.
On another point I wonder if the authorities, Spurs or the builders get twitchy about a drone flying around the new build? There are so many rules these days on drone flying.
I really like the way the South Stand sticks out making it more like a boat and less like a bowl.
Hope it stays that way....anyone know if they are going to just glass it all in or will it still lean out when finished?

The ‘trees’ will be inside, so glassed in if I’ve understood correctly.
Bit of a shame that, but who cares
The cheese room’s gotta go somewhere.
Mate its hard to find fault, its just incredible and surreal that its this far up. And it reminds me of the Lane
If it helps, I believe the final result will be a bit of both - yes the trees are glassed in, but in a manner that means the top of the south stand rear will 'stick out' from its base. With the aluminium cladding adding to this effect too.The ‘trees’ will be inside, so glassed in if I’ve understood correctly.
With the sheer scale and size of the stadium and the excitement just watching it go up, its easy to forget about the architectural flourishes like the main West Stand entrance which looks like it will stunning in its own right.
No, but the likeliest scenario would be that we ask for our first 3-4 fixtures to be away, enabling us to sort the finishing touches. Then we’d have our first home game in September

The Premier League has confirmed that the 2018-19 season will begin on the weekend of August 11/12.
On Thursday, the Premier League's top 20 clubs voted to push forward transfer deadline day from August 31 to 5pm on the Thursday before the start of the new season, starting with the 2018-19 campaign.
As part of that announcement, the League confirmed the date on which the summer transfer window would close in 2018.
A statement from the League announced: "Premier League clubs have today agreed to a rule amendment that will see the summer transfer window in any year end at 1700 BST on the Thursday before the start of the season.

"This is for Premier League clubs only and has no bearing on other leagues and competitions.
"The first transfer window in which this applies will be the summer transfer window in 2018 (ahead of the 2018/19 season) and it will close at 1700 BST on Thursday August 9 2018."
That means the new season could begin as early as August 10, with a precedent already in place for beginning the competition on a Friday with last month’s clash between Woolwich and Leicester.
Should the league kick off on a Friday, it would mean the Premier League beginning only 27 days after the World Cup Final in Moscow.
Think its doing the PL a disadvantage tbh
Apparently we have asked for up to the first 8 games, which is the maximum.
Watched the game in the Elbow room yesterday,so wandered past the ground.
Couldn't believe the progress in 3 weeks,amazing.

At least it'll be warmer on the concourse, with it all being glassed in. Lower tier concourse at Wembley has been absolutely fucking freezing at times, with openings letting the cold wind gust in
