Tottenham Hotspur to give fans direct access to new stadium with pioneering interactive portal

Premier League football club, Tottenham Hotspur, have launched a new interactive online portal to give fans unrivalled insight into the development of the club’s new stadium.

The updated and revamped online portal, which has launched today, is to give Spurs supporters live streams, timelapse images and interactive features to help them stay up to date with the construction of their new £400m stadium.

The club have also unveiled new interactive flythrough animations to showcase how the completed 61,000 seater stadium, which is set to open for the 2018/19 season, will look during Premier League games, NFL fixtures and concerts.

Spurs say that the new interactive portal will bring ‘new and better-positioned live stream cameras’ from across the Northumberland Park development site, as well as five high definition timelapse cameras that will give supporters the latest photos as and when they appear.

Most notably for the future plans for the stadium, NFL branding is given equal billing as the the club’s crest and Premier League logo, chiming with some of the noises coming from the North London club’s hierarchy about the potential for basing a full-time American franchise at the new stadium.

Speaking back in September, Tottenham’s chairman, Daniel Levy, admitted the club was open to the ‘enormous benefits’ that a partnership with the NFL would entail, with the potential to recoup some of the costs for the new stadium.

He said: “The NFL, a number of times when they’ve come to the UK, has used our training facility and, when a foreign organisation goes to another territory, I think being in partnership with a local operator brings enormous benefits.

“I think the NFL has understood that one thing we’ve got is we’re a well-run organisation and we really believe in the word ‘partnership’.”

The club’s new interactive portal is now live at http://new-stadium.tottenhamhotspur.com/.
