Ah, ok thanks. Then, for me anyway, the jury's still out as to whether it's a photo or a photoshop! :geek: :cautious: :unsure:
Nah, no jury out here, it's 100% a computer generated rendering. It's a reflection of how good these things are that is fooling some, but definitely a CG image.

Not disputing what's been put up at all, so please don't take this the wrong way. If that is the Press Room in the new stadium, it just shows how much work is going on on the interior already. I would assume that once an area is properly enclosed they are really cracking on with the internals. It is the obvious thing to do, but nevertheless it's very encouraging to see such good progress.

:woot::woot:

I totally agree! Where I think we haven’t seen any information however is the broadcast facilities. For example, espn owns a broadcast bay at Wimbledon, but the bbc runs the whole facility, provides all channels with the footage, permissions, access etc. I think the emirates room is also quite large but I’ve never been. A friend was telling me how broadcast trucks are being sent less and less to premier league games because BT sends all its broadcast down the phone lines so I’d imagine we be building a flipping huge bandwidth physical connection to somewhere. Sky still send trucks but not as much to the smaller games even though every match has a live camera/camera operator/commentator team from a broadcaster, maybe several. We used to put the broadcast trucks on the east/south corner with cables running across the street, or over it iirc.

The Wimbledon setup is much more village like, because parts of the building have been there so long. It feels like an expensive golf club, but actually they don’t have much razzmatazz. Its a tennis facility, that’s it. And the Wembley press room is a few feet from the changing rooms. But the press culture is very different for England internationals. FA press conferences are largely pointless token event and I’d imagine the NFL would require a huge room where real news happens. Or a boxing event, or any international media event really. It’s very encouraging to see the ambition at spurs. On the one hand we have the dedicated football stadium, but if you invite the worlds media and they are impressed with scale then the profile naturally will have huge room to grow. And this is what happened with Emirates.

Have to consider as well it will probably be involved in World Cup/Euros bid which is all Kudos for us. But tbh if you’re building a state of the art stadium the media centre was always gonna be something special. Wait till you see the toilets lol.

There’s a huge press room on the east side at E1 as well. I never looked before but the nfl changing rooms take up the entire east stand pretty much. There’s also a lot of car parking under the south which is a little hard to work out, because the trees are going in and there’s nothing under there space wise

Is the south where the pitch retracts under revealing the artificial pitch?

So when Chelsea (sorry for lowering the tone by mentioning them) complete their stadium in the next few years, London will have 4 x 60k+ seat club stadiums in the city, plus Wembley.

Can any other citiy in the world boast such a 'footballing presence'?
