Think I massively underestimated what we’d make on food/drink. Obviously got there early to have a look around. Had a lovely lunch with a few drinks and half time snack spent close on £40 for 2 of us. Would I do the same routine again for a 3 pm yeah the food and environment were great. Old WHL I’d maybe spend a fiver. Left via the south stand and was a like a massive party going on lol I think that’s the market place. This stadium is gonna be a whole new experience can’t even imagine after a big derby win or European they will literally have to kick people out. The stadium is a massive game changer on lots of levels from revenue to the fan experience. Levy is actually a bit of a genius.

It was an amazing day today- had my grandson and son-in-law with me - only sad the 1882 club wasn't ready but so many other places to eat and drink and the cashless machines worked a treat. Sadly, can't say the same about a few of the staff in the Tap Inn bars who were pretty clueless about they were selling. Beavertown Beer isn't sold at these bars on Level 2 and 3 even though it's advertised on their bars.

Good football in the first half as well from the kids but a very typical spursy performance in the second half.

Yeah I think they’ve got the balance perfect between it still feeling like a football stadium but yet also being an entertainment venue. The market place is a stroke of genius. Having a communal area like that to celebrate a win. Levy be fleecing us but we won’t even realise or care cause we will just be having so much fun lol.

I'll post this here and in a couple of threads so everyone sees. So proud to have him as our manager:

He's on the pitch, and here's what Pochettino has to say...

We all feel the same. It’s so exciting. I got the same feeling on the last day when we left White Hart Lane. We were crying. The same feeling here at the new stadium. We are almost crying.

It’s going to be a massive impact for the team to have all fans and that feeling. It’s our new house but we’re going to create a new home and that is different.

White Hart Lane was magic but I feel that this new stadium is the best in the world. I really believe that the future of the club is going to be fantastic.

Great feedback guys. Keep it coming. Like others, I’m waiting until C Palace for my first experience (although kinda regretting it just at this moment!). I visited stadium in Dec but today must have been something else. Sadly abroad next week so can’t attend Legends match.
How was the entry admin ? Speed of access, level of bureaucracy and general entrance experience (not transport but one you’d reached stadium). And exit experience too ? Be keen to hear. Especially given today was only half full and sunny afternoon versus full and 8.00 pm Wed night kick off.

It sounds like fun and the videos are great.

I think the club's income from the food and drink is going to amount to a fixed rent from each of the concession-holders. There may be some element of the rent that is related to turnover, depending on how the lease agreements have been put together, but normally the leaseholder takes the receipts at their own risk and pays a fixed rent to the landlord.

Also, it is common for these leases to start with a rent-free period, to reflect the fitting-out costs incurred by the leaseholder.

EDIT: I'm told that all the food and drink outlets except Beavertown are set up by THFC solely to sell in the stadium - they don't exist outside. That would change the risk/rental/turnover arrangements, in ways I can't guess, but I still reckon THFC would have each one set up as a company, with a lease-type interest in its own space.
