Tottenham Hotspur move in to their new 62,062-seater stadium

Chairman Daniel Levy believes he has built a stadium that can make Tottenham one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Spurs open their new 62,062-seater home, part of a project Levy confirmed will cost around £1billion, against Crystal Palace on Wednesday as an 18-year dream finally comes to fruition.

There have been several stumbling blocks along the way, not least the frustrating delays this season which put back their moving in date from August to April.

But Levy is hoping Spurs can now concentrate on winning trophies in their new home.

Levy has had to balance the rising costs of the stadium with building a team to challenge at the top end of the Premier League, and going through two transfer windows without making any signings has seen him come under heavy fire from supporters.

Boss Mauricio Pochettino has often told how Levy had suffered sleepless nights in his quest to deliver the best.

The new stadium, built on the site of the old White Hart Lane, is the flagship development in the proposed redevelopment of the Tottenham area.

Along with a hotel, there will be 258 residential properties built along with schools, a gym and a supermarket, with over 2,500 jobs being created.

Costs spiralled from a starting £750million, but given the facilities inside the stadium, which will attract spending on both matchdays and non-matchdays, they will soon start making money back.
