West Ham's New Stadium Experience Is a Taste of What Is Ahead for Tottenham

The landscape around White Hart Lane has been gradually changing for a few years now.

The painstaking process of securing and preparing land for Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium has meant that familiar sights—from the last local business holdout Archway Sheet Metal Works to the iconic gates on Bill Nicholson Way—have been removed one by one.

In anticipation of a 2018-19 opening for the 61,000-seat stadium, the project has firmly moved forward to the building phase in recent months (as seen below). A removal of the north-east corner of the ground has been a backdrop to home games all season, but even more jarring was the first use of the rerouted West Stand entry point for Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Leicester City.
