When will Tottenham leave White Hart Lane and where will they play in-between?

Spurs play their final ever game at White Hart Lane on May 14 against Manchester United, as they will play all of their home games at Wembley Stadium next season.

We can confirm that, following a Board meeting today, we’ve taken the decision to activate our option with Wembley National Stadium Limited.

What will Tottenham’s new stadium be called?

No name for Tottenham’s new stadium has been announced as of yet.

Some Spurs supporters have been calling it the ‘New White Hart Lane’ during its construction period.

How big will Tottenham’s new stadium be?

Tottenham’s new stadium will seat 61,000.

It was initially designed to hold 56,250 people, but was redeveloped to increase capacity.

White Hart Lane currently seats just over 32,000 spectators.

The new ground will become the third largest capacity stadium in the country, ahead of Arsenal but behind Old Trafford and Wembley.

Why are Tottenham building a new stadium?

Spurs are building a new stadium in order to increase their maximum capacity.

The larger stadium will be able to generate more revenue and help the club grow financially.

By building a new ground, Spurs also hope to regenerate the entire Tottenham area and enhance its local economy.

The new stadium has a 60,000-long season ticket waiting list.

How much will the new stadium cost?

Spurs believe their new ground could eventually cost them £750million.

The club made the forecast in their planning application, which would make it the most expensive stadium in the country alongside Wembley.

It was previously thought the new stadium would cost £400m but that figure has risen drastically.
