New White Hart Lane Stadium this is the brand-new home to Tottenham Hotspur
Football Club and it hosts several NFL games per year but is it all this
cracked up to be
new White Hart Lane is the newest stadium in England holding just over
60,000 spectators and I'm here to watch an NFL game
admittedly I live 200 miles away and getting to the stadium proved to be a
pain in the ass they actually closed the London Overground station and made all
the fans march from Seven Sisters tube station all the way in the pouring rain
for 40 minutes towards the stadium so not a good start so far the weather was
so bad that they actually canceled all the fan events because it was just too
wet to perform they obviously never heard of the crappy weather here in
England but when you actually come to the stadium you'll be in shock because
this place doesn't look like any building that you've ever sin in fact it
kind of looks like a spaceship of some kind definitely more of an American
Stadium than an English one as you can imagine it's pretty busy here and the
queues are just outrageous this is the queue for the shop and sadly I actually
decide to queue in not to buy anything but to show you that the NFL has the
biggest shop here outside Tottenham whilst walking towards my gate I bumped
into this man they call him the boogey man he's sort of a celebrity in Tampa
allegedly for his rather unique appearance and you know what he was
actually kind of a cool guy but once I took my picture with the boogie man I
decided to go in through my gate I'd actually spent a fortune on corporate
hospitality tickets and I got to admit this place is pretty damn swanky the
lounge is absolutely massive albeit filled to the brim full of people it was
a lot busier than I thought it would be the food was fantastic
and yet I ate my body weight in burgers the view from my seat well as you can
imagine from a premium ticket it was actually very very
and because of the design of the stadium the views are pretty much good
everywhere so even in the nosebleed section way up there you can pretty much
get a decent view as you can tell from a brand new stadium it has some amazing
amenities such as giant TV screens raucous fans yep go bucks and there's
lots of displays and lots of pageantry on show everywhere if you've never been
to an NFL game before I highly recommend going to one particularly here in London
even if you can't see which I very much doubt you can always watch the
highlights on the TVs the action in the field is actually pretty good and you
definitely won't be bored here especially here at an NFL game
these fans are pretty much fired up and we're all waiting for the free halftime
beers and there's a lot of thirsty fans out there so queuing up for the beers
that took a while but that was actually kind of fun
the lunchtime food was also very good I'm pretty sure I've gained half a stone
from eating all of this stuff but even if you don't want to watch the game from
your seat you can actually watch it from your lounge which is kind of Awesome and
unlike any other stadiums that you might go to in America everyone here is a fan
of another team and it's quite nice to mingle with other fans talk to people
because there's no animosity like you get in America or like you get in
English football as for the play on the field
Tampa Bay really sucked and Carolina ended up tasting them pretty heavily but
that doesn't detract from the overall game experience because this place is
pretty damp amazing this is probably one of the best stadiums I've been to and
the after party was pretty swinging everyone was in a fine mood the banner
on point she was lovely by the way and it was a great party atmosphere to just
sing along and just dance around with complete random strangers seriously this
is what we do here you know you could be a fan of any other team and just dance
with complete strangers but after the dancing and the singing is time to say
goodbye and try and meander your way back to the nearest tube station
which again is 40 minutes away thanks for closing the London Overground really
appreciate that not okay knit I'm sold what do I do well you need to get here
to either Wembley or Tottenham now Wembley is significantly easier to get
to the tube station is literally right outside the stadium
whereas with Tottenham you're gonna have to take the tube and an overground train
or bus in order to get here to the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the cost
tickets range from about forty five pounds which isn't too bad and give them
that Wembley and Tottenham are relatively new stadiums it's great views
pretty much everywhere in the stadium I pay for corporate hospitality tickets
and about I think goes about 270 plus please it was nice having a nice seat
for change as opposed to sitting in the nosebleeds and the free food was good
but if I'm being honest it probably wasn't worth the money for me but you
know horses for courses each to their own and as far as tickets are concerned
the sky's the limit especially if you purchase it on the after sale market to
get tickets you're gonna have to sign up to the NFL website and literally buy
them as soon as you get them because quite frankly they go in about 30
minutes so they sell out pretty damn quickly when I apply for tickets it took
about 30 minutes for him to sell out completely in corporate hospitality and
it took 40 minutes to sell up the normal tickets so there's definitely a demand
here for the NFL in London is there anything else yes you'll be queuing for
absolutely everything from the shop to the queues to get in the stadium to to
get the food so use the loo I mean I suppose it's no different to any other
NFL stadium the queues are just massively longer here in London don't
get me wrong tom is nice and as you can see from the ground it's brand spanking
new and very suited to the NFL however it's a pain in the ass to get to so
better in mind if you are coming but guys
I highly recommend that you do this especially if you're either a casual fan
or you're an NFL fan and you just want to slice of the action right here in
London gasps if you have enjoyed this episode
please be sure to like share and subscribe comments on the comment
section below and if I get enough suggestions for another bucket list
ideas to eat the mountain by the way if I get more suggestions I'll go ahead and
make a video about it so guys thank you very much for watching we'll see you in
the next episode failing that you can buy tickets on the after sale market but
if I'm being honest they're just gonna gouge it you know if you buy it from a
ticket scalper outside the stadium they're going to gouge you some more
