History
If you want to compare English soccer clubs to American football teams for perspective, may we suggest the Dallas Cowboys. They were kings of the world a few decades ago, remain very popular today, are famous for wearing white at home, and have an amazing stadium, but they haven’t won anything in a while. For Spurs, that means just one League Cup…

Rivalries
Arsenal, whom they have played more than 200 times in the North London derby, are the huge rival. The rivalry started when Arsenal moved to North London after Spurs were already well established there, then got voted into the Football League ahead of them. They also hate any other London club, Chelsea in…

Stadium
The new, 62,850-seat, $1 billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was late, over budget, and Spurs had to endure a longer than planned exile at Wembley. But it was worth it, as the place is simply astonishing. There is no way it will ever live up to White Hart Lane for atmosphere, but that one only had 36,000 seats, and Spurs needed to grow. The new…

Going to a Game at Tottenham
GETTING THERE: All of the transit in the immediate area was swept up in the stadium redevelopment, but this much didn’t change: the closest rail station is White Hart Lane on the Overground line, just a couple of minutes away. You can get there from Liverpool Street Station. The closest Tube station is Seven Sisters on the Piccadilly line. From…

Tottenham Hotspur Tickets
Even with this new stadium, tickets are tough. Like most clubs, Spurs have a membership and loyalty scheme, and like most big clubs, a membership is virtually required for each ticket you want, and even with one, you will probably have to deal with the members’ resale area. Adult memberships started last season at £48. Groundhopper Guides has regular tickets as well as hospitality options for all Spurs home games.
