David Keirle, KSS Project Director, said: “Throughout the whole design process we have continued to refine the designs to maximise stadium atmosphere, including a reduction in the space allocated to corporate areas in order to deliver the new single tier stand. “The acoustics will be excellent, with the bowl design helping to reflect sound back onto the pitch whilst the stadium architecture itself responds to the Spurs identity, using flowing lines and a gracefully undulating roof to create a visually striking building. “It will be an exceptional place to watch football and a fantastic addition to this part of the High Road.” Andy Anson, Chief Executive of England 2018 Ltd, said: “Tottenham Hotspur Football Club’s provisional designs for their new stadium are very impressive. Potential England 2018 Host Cities will deliver their final bid submissions to us in November and we fully expect the stadium to be one of those included as a potential host venue for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bid. We wish the club every success with their plans.” KSS have worked with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club for over seven years. As well as being architects for the new stadium, they are also responsible for the Club’s new training centre, which commenced on site in September 2009. KSS have also worked closely with the Club in preparing proposals that will enable the stadium to act as a candidate host venue as part of England‘s 2018 World Cup bid.
