White Hart Lane is the home ground of Tottenham Hotspur FC. It has a current capacity of 36,240 seats.
The stadium opened on the 4th of September 1899 with a match against Notts County which Tottenham won 4-1. The initially small ground was quickly expanded, and after major developments early in the early 20th century it could hold 50,000 spectators.
Further improvements to the ground increased the capacity to almost 80,000 and on the 5th of March 1938 a record attendance of 75,038 visited a match between Tottenham and Sunderland. The introduction of seats reduced the capacity in the 60s and 70s, and the stadium obtained its current shape in the 80s and early 90s with the refurbishments of all stands, coming to a completion in 1998 with a new upper tier for the Paxton Road Members Stand.
White Hart Lane has hosted several England international matches, however was never venue at the World Cup and European Championship tournaments that England organised, mainly due to the competition of other London stadiums, most notably Wembley.
In recent years the club has feverishly tried to either rebuild the stadium or move to a different site as capacity and facilities have not been able to cope with the club’s growth. Among several plans was a move to the 2012 Olympic Stadium, however West Ham United won a first tender to rent the stadium (a re-tender is currently considered after irregularities in the first one). The club therefore currently continues with plans to build a new 56,250 stadium adjacent to the current one.
