Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

The engineering on the plinth that holds the pitch must be crazy to hold all that weight. There can't be colums with the pitch sliding in and out, so how is all the weight of the towers supported? I guess the towers are on the periphery. Unlike a lot of these developments, the ground floor commercial spaces should be attractive and filled easily plus enhance the stadium - with places to eat, bars etc.

But pretty ugly and uninspiring design. Almost a copy and paste template of these cheap to build cash cows. Not much invention or flare to them imo.

Looking at all the pictures the concourse looks unchanged (few extra flower beds :rolleyes:). So you're right. Built around not on.
The wind'll fair be a' whippin' around on matchdays!

The pitch splits in 3 so it can pass around the pillars holding up the south stand and south podium.
When the pitch is outside, that area under the south podium is used for car parking and the F1.

Worth a watch if you have never seen how the pitch splits, just the two columns supports the whole south stand , when pitch goes under south stand , centre part goes between the columns and the two outside sections on either side.


Another video explaining the columns that hold up the south stand.
