Tottenham Hotspur FC has unveiled updated designs for the club’s new stadium which will be shortly submitted to the London Borough of Haringey.The capacity of the stadium has been increased from 56,250 to 61,000 seats.
The new ground will feature the largest single tier stand in the UK of 17,000 seats. The stadium will also host American Football matches with ten NFL games a season.
