Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

You jest, but that is the way it's going. Expect not just wifi but an app that can help navigate the stadium. Order your half time snacks/drinks etc in advance from your seat, etc, etc.

It's all about having the easiest experience for the fan, and particularly making it easy for you to spend money.

I've just googled, and there is no 'Paypal Stadium'.. yet.

There are lots of articles online about how the American stadiums (mainly NFL) operate so it's worth reading up on.

Can't imagine the demands of the WiFi network when we score a goal. 60,000 simulationeous connections, including pics and videos... that's one big fat digital pipe.

That's a bit harsh mate, lets be honest if fans can not go without their teletext and phones for a couple of hours they must be really sad. Its like those who complain and bitch about not having a pint during the game. ;)

Wi-Fi access is pretty standard everywhere now. Doesn't really cost much either. Not having it would just be silly.

Where did I say wifi won't catch on? Your quotes have nothing to do with my post.
The point is, it takes peoples attention away from the game, which they've paid to see. There's enough idiots looking at phones filming what they can actually see as it is.

My post was tongue in cheek, personally i do not give a brick if its there or not. The ones i laugh at are those who get upset if its not.

Some like the daughter, some like the mother, some like both. I for instance would welcome the opportunity to maybe losely follow another game on the phone without having to use several Gb of data. Dictating what other people should or should not do is something that mostly occurs in countries we don't want to be associated with. Also, I like to arrive at the ground some time before kick-off, and at the new stadium with vastly superior facilities, that becomes an even more tempting option.

i like to check the scores of the other games - if wifi makes it easier to do then its worthwhile for me.

some people turn up quite a while before kick off, would be useful for them and might get a few others in early and have them spending more money in the bars or whatever.

Taken from the Wembley Stadium Planning Application to increase the number of events >51K capacity:

3.0 Proposed Amendments
Condition 3
3.1 The amendment to Condition 3 of Planning Permission 99/2400 will allow
THFC to use the full capacity of Wembley Stadium (increasing available
spectator capacity by c. 39,000 from 51,000 to up to 90,000) for up to 31
additional major events for a temporary period during the 2017-18 football
season (i.e. from 1 August 2017 to 31 July 2018); in addition to the 22-25 full
capacity sporting events currently allowed per season.
3.2 There could be up to 36 THFC home fixtures in the 2017-18 season. In
practice however, and based on recent averages, the total number of THFC
games likely to be hosted at Wembley Stadium is expected to be in the region
of 30. The “temporary cap” figure of 31 allows for the possibility that THFC is
first, very successful in all cup competitions and secondly, drawn at home for
all of its games (with up to 5 games to be accommodated under the existing full
capacity sporting events cap).
3.3 For the avoidance of doubt, because the “temporary cap” relates to THFC
events, in the anticipated situation where fewer home games than the
maximum are drawn, the temporary cap does not allow for additional full
capacity events for other purposes to be hosted by Wembley Stadium.
3.4 It should also be recognised that the Wembley Stadium schedule for the 2017-
18 season allows for up to five THFC events to be hosted within the existing
full capacity event cap (of up to 25 major sporting events and 9 major nonsporting
events), thereby minimising the overall number of additional full
capacity events hosted in the 2017-18 season (while maintaining commercial
and contractual obligations).
3.5 Within the year of the proposed THFC events, Wembley Stadium’s event
schedule is currently expected to contain at least 31 further major events,
comprising:
1 20 sporting events utilising the full capacity of the stadium;
2 At least 2 sporting events with under 51,000 spectators; and
3 9 concerts.
3.6 Given Wembley Stadium is unrestricted in terms of the number of events for up
to c. 51,000 spectators, the application is, in effect, seeking permission for
additional events where up to an additional c. 39,000 spectators are in
attendance; although not all matches are expected to attract a full capacity
crowd.

36 home fixtures???

Jeepers, that would need a home draw in every round of the FA Cup and League Cup

Looks like they are having everything ready for when Chelsea play there....
