October 25 – Tottenham Hotspur have made a statement of intent with the opening of the largest club shop in Europe at their new stadium.
The shop is the first section of the Tottenham Hotspur stadium to be completed and accessible to the public and was opened on Tuesday morning at 10am.
Measuring 23,000 square feet, the store on Tottenham High Road at the south end of the new ground contains a 100-seat auditorium featuring a 36-screen video wall which will host events before and after matches, plus special appearances and promotions.
The shop is part of the Tottenham Experience, where other visitor attractions will be offered when the construction project is completed, including stadium tours, a sky walk, the club museum and archive, and it is all housed inside the repurposed Grade II listed Warmington House.
The club hope that the stadium will be finished before Christmas, with a Premier League match against Burnley on December 15 being the last home game before the holiday period.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino said in September he was assured that the stadium will open before Christmas, while chairman Daniel Levy told the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust that the rising costs of the new stadium will not effect the club’s transfer budget.
The club have said that an update on the stadium will be made public in the coming weeks.
