the Tottenham stadium is the facility of desires – Corriere.it

There is even the craft brewery inside this architectural jewel costing over a billion euros that is the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the futuristic facility in North London where tonight Milan will look for the Champions League feat worth a season. The dream of the quarterfinals, in the stadium of dreams.

Inside Gerry Cardinale’s head
the number one American manager of RedBird, there is indeed such a modern and functional stadium, inserted within an eco-sustainable urban redevelopment project, capable of becoming a global icon, generating revenues and retaining fans seven days out of seven. Built between 2016 and 2019 on a project by the Populous studiothe same one who conceived (on paper) the Cathedral, the New White Hart Lane much more than a stadium: his retractable lawn it can leave room for the field below for American football and rugby matches, for rock concerts and for all kinds of events.

The experience that can be lived in an innovative stadium like that of Tottenhamas in many stadiums in the United States, allows us to understand the potential and opportunities that a modern stadium can offer a city, a world-class club and all its fans – the words of the AC Milan president Paul Scaroni —. We need to speed up the project for a new stadium which is a fundamental element in our growth process, essential to be able to compete internationally. The old San Siro is full of memories, but we feel the responsibility to look to the future of our club, to offer new successes and unforgettable experiences to all our fans.

There are 62,000 seats here, some of which are heated: they will come in handy tonight, when temperatures should drop below zero. This stadium produces money like a factory, because after all it is an entertainment factory: only from stadium revenues in the 2021/22 season Tottenham collected 125 million euros. A real multifunctional facility, given that it has now become a branch in the Old Continent of the American football NFL, with two games a year. It only takes 25 minutes to go from the soccer field to the football field. Not to mention the concerts: Beyonc, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lady Gaga, Guns n’ Roses. And if you remove the green lawn, a boxing ring appears.

The latest find the agreement with Formula 1 for an electric kart track. In short: a real amusement park. With a lot of brewery.
