History of the stadium
Welcome to the home of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. After calling White Hart Lane home for 118 years, the ground was fully demolished at the end of the 2016/17 season, and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was built on the same site and areas adjacent to it. Between 2017 and 2019, Tottenham played their home matches at Wembley Stadium while the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was being built.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened on 3 April 2019 with Tottenham beating Crystal Palace 2-0 in the Premier League in front of a crowd of 59,215. Son Heung-min scored the first ever goal at the new stadium before Christian Eriksen added the second on the night.
On 12 May 2022, the record attendance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was set as 62,027 supporters watched Antonio Conte’s Spurs beat North London rivals Arsenal 3-0 in the Premier League.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the largest club stadium in London and third third-largest football stadium in England. The single-tier south stand is the largest in the UK, with a capacity of 17,500, standing over 34 metres in height.
The ground is a multi-use venue which boasts a unique, dividing retractable grass surface enabling the staging of a variety of major events in addition to Spurs matches, including NFL, boxing, rugby and concerts.
