Following several delays, Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium opened to the public for the first time yesterday (Sunday 24th March 2019), to glowing reviews - both from the press and from fans across social media.

The stadium which was originally scheduled to open in September against Liverpool, has had its opening pushed back several times since but was opened Sunday for the first test event, a Tottenham Under-18s match with Southampton.
