Tottenham announce name of new stadium… and fans think it is very boring
Spurs have announced two test events ahead of Liverpool's visit for the 62,000-seater stadium's first Premier League game on September 15
SPURS have revealed their new ground is called 'Tottenham Hotspur Stadium' - a decision quickly mocked on social media.
The club have announced two test events ahead of Liverpool's visit for the 62,000-seater stadium's first Premier League game on September 15.
Spurs fans have many reasons to feel chuffed with their new £850million home — not least because it has its very own MICROBREWERY.
And queuing for a pint shouldn't be a problem, with one bar set to be 86.8 metres long. Crucially, they can pour 10,000 of them a minute.
Those willing and able to splash the cash can watch the players through a giant glass wall in the tunnel, then pick the cheeses they want to scoff at half-time.
And for those who miss the old days of standing on terraces, Spurs should be able to convert 7,500 seats into safe-standing areas in just one hour, according to .

Harry Kane - £8m
Netted 30 league goals last season and totted up 376 points.
Keiran Trippier - £4m
In-form defender picked up 18 '7+ ratings' last term.
But how do fans feel about the new name? Some point a finger at a lack of imagination.
Others will be delighted that — with NFL games, concerts and eSports coming to the stadium — Spurs haven't yet flogged the naming rights.
Effectively, it is their own brand that will be promoted. But they are forgoing income from naming rights worth around £15m a season.
That could change over the coming weeks, however, if chairman Daniel Levy gets the right offer.
A Spurs statement read: "We are delighted to unveil our new stadium brand identity.
"As well as becoming a new, world-famous home for Tottenham Hotspur, our new stadium will also stage NFL matches, concerts and other major events, as we look to create an iconic global sports and entertainment destination in Tottenham.
"Our new stadium will currently be known as Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the 'A' of the word 'Stadium' stylised to create an arrow pointing north, to represent our proud North London heritage.
"Further nods to our history can be found throughout the stadium, with club mottos adorning the elevations of the building along with our distinguished cockerel crest cast in concrete around the stadium perimeter.
"Inside, you will find feature bars such as The Shelf and The White Hart, as well as the polished concrete floors made from crushed aggregate taken from our beloved former home, White Hart Lane."
Some supporters are not having it. Not necessarily Spurs fans, but...
