The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a super modern sports ground in north London. It's the home of the Tottenham Hotspur football team. This stadium replaced their old home, White Hart Lane.
It can hold 62,062 people. This makes it one of the biggest stadiums in the Premier League. It is also the largest club stadium in London.
This stadium is special because it can be used for many different events. It has the world's first football pitch that can split and slide away! Underneath, there's a different field made of artificial grass. This second field is used for NFL London Games, music concerts, and other big events.
The name "Tottenham Hotspur Stadium" might not be permanent. Many people think the club will sell the naming rights. This means a company could pay a lot of money to have the stadium named after them. Fans and some news reporters sometimes call it New White Hart Lane.

It's easy to get to the stadium using public transport. You can use London Overground, London Underground, and National Rail trains.
