Lore & Background
The stadium was conceived in 2007 and announced in 2008 as part of the Northumberland Development Project, intended to catalyze a 20-year regeneration plan for Tottenham. Construction did not commence until 2015 due to disputes and delays, and the stadium opened on 3 April 2019. The name 'Tottenham Hotspur Stadium' was meant to be temporary, pending a naming rights sponsor, but it has still not been renamed. It is sometimes referred to as New White Hart Lane by fans and some in the media.
