Didn't hear about the nfl player making a joke. Could you elaborate?
The quote from the article:
"Excited to play in front of everyone across the pond! Hopefully Spurs stadium is done by then so we don’t have a schedule conflict at Wembley."

Wow, he really stuck the knife in didn't he? How dare he hope that the stadium is ready so that he can play in it.

The NFL pitch is permanently marked, if you remember, the NFL logo in the middle of the pitch is one large velcro patch. The white lines are also individual elements i believe. I think the idea of the black rubber pellets is a) to give volume and lift to the astro turf blades; b) provide a soft landing. So it's black pellets all over, but because they get combed beneath to astro turf bristles, they sort of vanish and leave only the coloured bristles.

Yeah Tunnel Club members have been invited to a special super bowl screening. Spurs will use the occasion to go full-NFL mode to promote it's readiness is America - esp after an NFL player made a joke of the stadium.

I remember the logo going down, but I can't remember seeing all the yard lines ect going down.
Also not sure it's a velcro patch. Looked like it was transfered on, but could be wrong.

Yeah - the only "permanent" markings on the NFL turf were the sidelines and endlines.

It's odd, there's a video from Sporf about how NWHL may be the best stadium in world football...and it says the first game is against Crystal Palace in March.

Yes I fully understand that they don't know anything about when the first match will be.

But what if they do?

Speaking to a guy working on the site (yeah I know) for tyco been there for a year for various companies I think.
He’s a Utd fan reckons it’s coming together nicely he’s well impressed with the finish lighting the whole build he said it has been a bit of a nightmare with various problems all mentioned at one point in the thread but they seem to have got a hold of it now.
Said something about a 30000 event soon.
I mean he probably doesn’t have a clue but he seeing it coming together
Gentlemen were in the end game now

It could very well be that the fix on the software wasn't as much of a bear as they thought it was going to be and JC was able to knock it out. I texted my buddy who's pretty high up at JC and asked him if they were going to "save the day" on the new stadium in London and he said "fuck yeah". I don't know why I didn't think to shoot him a message earlier, didn't put 2 and 2 together about him working for JC and JC working on the stadium.

Apparently there's a post on SSC too, stating two test events before the end of Feb, second of which (or maybe just one of which) to be a legends game for 30,000. Palace or a home FA Cup tie the proposed opening date.

Would be pretty annoying if we've done two test events, are as good as moved in, but have to play the derby at Wembley. I'd still take it, of course!

A feature wall depicting the now iconic image of Bill Nicholson holding open the famous iron gates that once sat in front of White Hart Lane has been installed in the East Stand on Level 5.
