How Tottenham Stadium Moves Its Massive 9000 Tonne Pitch | Richard Hammond's Big 

24 trophies

Oof size: Large

@@birbbirb4830 Arsenal has 44...........................

@A James what does that even mean?

Francis Gray mate you forgot about the glorious audi cup. Some say it’s better than that champions league

Well, not at legal speed limits 😂

*Rimac has joined the chat*

One could hear a few croatians laughing in the distance...

Can you drive in a straight line Hammond: yes

XD

I agree it's pretty impressive..but in modern engineering terms it's not that complicated. Just the equivalent of a big radio controlled train set really.

Schalke's stadium has this feature for almost 20 years

@@zargonthemagnificent330 its not really the same at all. Stop trying to downplay the engineers here.

Sheldon: cringe

@@jakebrown729 he has a fair point. It’s not exactly the most complicated thing ever

Update: Sorry to announce guys that we have had to postpone the live episode. John McAvoy is unwell, and the right thing to do is to do at another time. Get well John.

They say the money needs to be spend on the pitch/field, Spurs took it to literally.

@@Markuden ye dude. i didnt even realise this stadium was so insane. Props to them for doing it. it may pay off in future.

They'll get that NFL money to sort that out tbf

Next 20 years for Spurs will be a Penny pinch.

This season spurs have been one of the highest spending teams. That’s because of Levy’s financial genius and the return from the stadium, so yeah it has been a pretty wise move for them.

is this a joke?😂i can’t tell

@@aidanLVbeats no there is one they're scanning it online for the virtual go kart races in 2021

@@aidanLVbeats it will be a feature for spurs season ticket holders

It's true you know

And the hockey rink beneath that

The colour is horrible though

It’s cool but it’s spurs

@@Alig-07 surprised they didn't bottle it

@@Alig-07so?

Real Madrid’s stadium which is currently being renovated will have a mechanism that allows the ground to open up and have the pitch go undergound for other ones to go up in it’s place. No dragging fields all the way out of the stadium. Also when they’re undergound there is an automated watering system that takes care of the pitches down there.

@@HK1_11It’s the same engineering, just vertical instead of horizontal. The same company is doing it.

Well he did crashed some vehicles.

Sssssssssstonlen comment

He has

Yeah the guy totally missed that joke.

He is a car , now on life 211

I think the yanks helped pay for it that's why

@@sdprz7893 yea they did, the stadiums been designed for NFL games probably more than football. E.X. The changing rooms are at the other side of the stadium as in NFL teams walk out on opposing sides and so thats how it was designed as the yanks apparently couldnt handle walking out on one side at Wembley.

You gotta take in consideration that its just not Spurs pitch only but the national Team pitch as well. So you have to take care of the most impoertant pitch in England, and probably on of the most important places for soccer

J Carlos the international team plays at Wembley not here

Claret and blue army yeah they wouldn’t make the England team play in this shithole

The colour is horrible though

Chris Gouidas and an Olympic swimming pool under that!

And a racing track below that

@@amazingworld1255 And a boxing ring under that

Surprised no one's mentioned the replica of Wembley within the stadium

@@braulioacosta6816 And a cricket pitch under that LOL

I know right calling football "Soccer" we live in very strange times 😒

Great analogy

Coincidentally, the Colosseum holds about as many spectators. And the sand floor was on top of removable wooden boards, because they also had all kinds fancy machines in the basements.

@@erickeane471 yes it was a anally analogy

I bet the tiger pits were the equivalent of the moving pitch

they did everything right what the emirate got wrong lol its nothing like emirate's in design lost with that comment

They got a stadium and u guys got a legacy (and a non empty trophy room)...and that part my friend, can't be bough with money. and this is coming from a Liverpool fan.

The debt seems enormous but with pl money champions league etc etc in 15/20 years it will be paid off and after that its all profit.

Why would that be painful? I've never heard someone saying om going to this club because they have amazing stadium

You do know that trophies aren’t only official after the 1992? Tottenham have won lots of trophies in the clubs history, obviously not as much as the top dogs but it’s still a legacy

Its ironic how they (some places) call a ball game where you run with a ball in your hand football, buy a game where you use the ball 99% with your feet is called soccer. Well, both works.

Football was around before Australia and the USA by the way, so it's football not soccer. More to the point their games they use their hands on the pitch, we don't so they shouold cal their 'games' soccer.

Jerome It’s called football because the ball is a foot long.

They call it football in aus

no excuse, and most in aus call it football anyway

He is a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take him away!

@@glaringoddly7119 😂

but he keeps calling it a "pitch" instead of a "field", so kind of

The channel is Discovery Australia so I'd suggest they're the audience.

Future Drive Games Australians are British Texans, so I’d like to think that it’s a mix of both.

It's absolutely awesome.

Have a look at Real Madrid's new renovation. Amazing. Removable pitch too.

@@mashinajoe Just checked it out its not finished yet and if they dont get extra funding it never will be

It will be completed in the summer of 2023

@@jameswatters9592 like funding is ever an issue for them 😂

just need the team to match the stadium quality now

AlmightyStarfire Oh dear , a palace with no furniture .

As both a spurs supporter and a huge nfl fan I’m amazed

@@ScrewInTheTuna_ Now we got Conte, and team is quality.

They did that in Wembley stadium. But not anymore, bcoz they've got this place.

They do that in older stadiums for sure

habeeb aga there are actually 2 London games. Well actually 4. 2 in the Tottenham Stadium and 2 still in Wembley.

Yaz yeah every other stadium on the planet paints the pitch, Tottenham’s is the only one in the world to do this

Everyone else does, this is the only one that doesn’t but it was only built the other year and it cost them a few billion so you’d expect it tbh 😂

Yeah but this is Tottenham.

Yes, one of the biggest differences between these two clubs, is that Real Madrid's museum is full of trophies and Tottenha's is empty.

As an avid fan of plants, I will give full credit to the wonderful grass within the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

Agreed

👀

well you’re not a proper arsenal fan then

Whoopie, Stadiums have been doing this for 20 years in America.

CheeseSteak17 Hahahahahahaha was expecting that.

best comments

Oooo.... that one might leave a mark....

its in the basketball court

With the 27 major trophy’s?

It actually uses a carpet-based hybrid grass called Playmaster by Tarkett Sports.

Thanks for the explanation because he didn’t say where the NFL pitch was stored.

@Nufc Magpies 123 you're no where in the ball park with that guess.

@Nufc Magpies 123 The entire stadium can cost upwards of 1 billion dollars. The field is 1 million to replace

The reason they did it this way was so both premier league games and NFL games can be played on the same weekend.

Pitch pitch pitch get it right

@@MikeTheGreat1994 was never designed for the same weekend. 1 nfl takes Wembley as first choice 2 it takes a bit of time to get the pitch fully ready it’s not just removing the football pitch there’s adding the goals and painting extra

It as a shocker to hear Hammond call football "soccer"...

Pav 1 That’s what it’s is.

Soccer is an english word. The yanks got it from the English.

How can you not believe that? The nickname of his nation's team is Socceroos!

Different targeted audiences you simp

Nah he's a chelsea fan,he'd shit on it.

Why did I read that satement in Jeremy's voice?

@@VarunKumar-ro4ll with the way the stadium is shaped, he would literally do it

It’s the best stadium....(pause) in the world

@@stevencvisuals Because it's Jeremy's line

🤣

Underrated comment 😂

There are multiple NFL games played in London every year. They were previously played in Wembley Stadium, but the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium became the new permanent host for it starting in 2019. Each game sells out, so there is a market for it.

Money

There's something wrong with hearing a Brit call his national sport soccer

@@Deckzwabber Probably because he spent waaay too much time driving pickups.

@@Deckzwabber but that's what it is. I grew up in Britain in the 60s and 70s and it was quite normal, common, for people to call it soccer. In fact, the term is English and the Yanks got the term from the Brits.

Australians probably refer to the sport as soccer as well

It's football

The name soccer originated in England. Deal with it.

@@tonyc9793 just searched. Fair point. But it still triggers me coz ive been hearing everyone call it football. And Richard is British. They are the ones who call it football

Umm no the worst is him call the soccer and football FIELDS a pitch

Have you ever been to Allianz arena ?

@@bass9052 why is it when people say “most” others take the meaning to be “all”?

Herbal G it is. By a country mile

Real Madrid stadium (Bernabeu) does this process automatically, storing the pitch underground.

Annoying

Frisbe And your mums called a slag

It's because it's distributed for multiple markets where it's (unfortunately) known as soccer. Notice that he calls it football in a lot of the footage shot in the stadium. The "soccer" lines are recorded in voiceovers afterwards.

Frisbe n no it’s not mate

Frisbe it’s called football because you kick the BALL with your FOOT. Got it buddy?

nah

It translated the Brazil flag to USA’s flag.

Irônico ser logo o estádio do Tottenham, time que só decepciona

Camp nou>

@@aaroningl yet the atmosphere is better

@@elis6770 Camp Nou is not even in the TOP 20 of the best sports stadiums in the world and this one is officially the first.

​@@FuzzyDlopafter Bernabéu...

Camp No

Better than being made redundant... you have a job even if your not working

Bro the nfl probably had something to do with making the pitch moveable

Imagine sacking your mascot

we didn sack them lol. that was just fake news. you guys sacked 55 staffs to pay for willian's wages. have some shame

There is no room outside the stadium for that to happen at Spurs, that is why this system was designed, people keep saying that Stadiums in Holland and Germany have had removable pitches for many years, and we know that, but this is the first pitch that splits up and is stored inside the stadium.

Jealous little prat.

Who cares lol

@@user-wg1cu1jx8b The whoe world but EEUU, we should call the NFL rugby then

at the cost of one endzone having very little seating. This is much crazier because they have the entire supporters' stand supported on just two beams and the field split to fit around those. Same with all the support beams in the parking lot spaced out to allow the field to fit in there too. At State Farm stadium, there really isn't a use for the area the field is stored in. Having a parking lot that doubles as a growing environment is very smart. Same with the suite featured at the end of the video. All elegant but ready for a whole different use. It's an amazing design.

ADY Masters their Planning For The Future And Their Going To Double The Transfer budget With All Tye Revenue In the pitch

well they just prefer to sign new big pitches instead of these guys who are destorying there big signings :p

they spend the budget on stadium, etc. Before signing big name players or the best youngster.

London stadium, stadium of light?

Tim Casey Real Madrid were in the Spanish second division when they built their stadium.

Bit quiet now eh.

@@alistairjohnson177 It will be packed when they get knocked out of the group stage of CL

Would 'like one year' be 12 months?
