It looks fantastic.
Unfortunately whenever li'l ole Brighton & Hove Albion head to one of the big boys, the atmosphere is always going to be somewhat muted.

Spurs ground will be great when its finally finished (presumably some time in the new year). But when it comes to stadium design, the ones going up in the USA these days are leaps and bounds ahead of stadiums like theirs imo.

I went to the Superbowl Final this year at the US Bank Stadium. Incredible place. Really.
Obviously I've not been inside the new Tottingham Stadium, but driving past it looks impressive.
I always smile when driving back to Eastbourne after coming down the M23 as I pass our ground though. I do confess that most times, if the car is empty, I let out a little 'AAAAAlbi-ooooon, AAAAAlll-bi-y-onnnn' to myself

I've got a little visit to the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta on my bucket list. Stunning place.

Likewise. If I ever find myself somewhere around the southern states I'd love to take in a game there, or just pay a visit and gawp.
I love a bit of stadium porn, me. Spurs ground looks very "meh" in comparison.

I didn't want to lower the tone.

It looks a stonking stadium. Will Spurs ever get a team to do it justice?

Agreed. To me it looks how West Ham wish the London Stadium should have been. Big home end, close, tight and steep stands all helping to retain that intimate WHL type feel - within the confines of modern health and safety regs re minimum distances etc.
That was my one wish for the Amex that we haven’t quite got right. The rake of the lower tiers should have been steeper to make it feel like the crowd are on-top of you as a visiting player.
I love Rotherham’s New York Stadium for this reason.

As this thread has now diversified into other stadiums, I was driving on the M4 into London yesterday and noticed Brentford's new ground has started appearing out of the ground.

Fairly obvious I'd have thought. They'll be going from 36,000 to 62,000 capacity, along with the plethora of corporate money-generating facilities built in. It might not be what we, as older fans would want to see, but its the way the game is going. All about the money innit. And the majority of fans do seem rightly excited about it.

There’s a Super Bowl FINAL now as well? That’ll annoy the winners of the mere Super Bowl.

Apologies. I'm not really a fan of American Football. I was offered corporate tickets through a US company I deal with and couldn't say no.
