Spurs’ 61,000-seater ground will have a retractable pitch for up to 16 non-football events a year, including concerts and NFL games.
And the largest single-tiered end in Europe — bigger even than Borussia Dortmund’s ‘Yellow Wall’ — will accommodate 17,000 home fans behind one goal.
The incredible new stadium will also allow wealthy punters the chance to boldly go where no fan has gone before by letting them watch the players in the tunnel through a giant glass window.

It will also have a number of lounges and bars, including The Tunnel Club where for £9,500 a season you can watch matches in an environment Spurs claim is the closest you can get to playing.
The tunnel itself will be the UK’s first with a one-way glass wall, allowing fans to take in the view before going outside to watch the game from plush seats just behind the dugouts.

Tottenham insist their stars love the idea of fans watching them in the tunnel.
But boss Mauricio Pochettino had a wry smile as he admitted yesterday: “It’s dangerous, very dangerous.

“A lot of things have happened in the tunnel — it is for that reason the price of sitting there will be very expensive!”
Yet that is not the stadium’s most expensive area.
The Tunnel Club is where paying punters can watch the players tunnel through glassTottenham HotspurCosting £535 per person, you can have Michelin starred food in the H ClubTottenham HotspurSunSport's Paul Jiggins was given a virtual reality tour of the new stadium
The H Club, with its Michelin-starred chefs and cheese waiters will set you back £15,000 a season, which Spurs are quick to point out is less than the Diamond Club at Arsenal’s Emirates.
Tickets for the Tunnel Club and The H Club come in pairs — and to be eligible to buy those, you must first stump up £30,000 for a couple of memberships.
It is a pricey private members club - though Spurs point out it is cheaper than Arsenal's Diamond ClubTottenham HotspurIt also offers chances to entertain while in corporate hospitalityTottenham Hotspur
Work on the stadium might not be finished for another 16 months but I was among journalists given a virtual reality tour of the complex yesterday.
While you need binoculars to see the pitch at West Ham’s London Stadium now, hi-tech goggles let me see how Spurs’ new home will look when it opens.
You will be able to dine at the chef's table or with a Spurs legend - probably not Roberto SoldadoTottenham HotspurBuilt on the site of the old White Hart Lane, the stadium will be the biggest club ground in LondonTottenham Hotspur
The club’s marketing gurus are using these to sell packages to sponsors and wealthy punters.
I explored the stadium without having to leave my seat in the club’s offices.
