Spurs’ New 61,000-Seater Stadium Has Been Engineered To Make Chants Sound Louder Than They Are

Published on:

Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur had revealed images that showed a plethora of luxurious hospitality options their new stadium.

And according to reports the new 61,000-seater stadium has now been engineered to make chants sound louder than they actually are.

The club has taken help from ‘Acousticians’ to design the new 61,000-capacity stadium so that fan chants sound louder and clearer than ever before, according to architectural firm Populous.

Architects say the stadium is designed to make chants and songs sound louder

The dazzling new stadium is more like a concert hall than a football stadium and is specially designed to facilitate ‘more clean reverberation’ of sound and thus songs and chants will sound even louder.

Christopher Lee, Populous’ managing director EMEA, said: “The studies we’ve done show when you start breaking up acoustics everyone gets out of sync so they stop singing.”

“So once they create acoustics where they don’t break down, the reverberation times are quicker, they last longer and get louder. The louder people get, the louder people around them get, and so the atmosphere and the noise builds.”

The hi-tech stadium has been scientifically planned and the curvature of the roof will be wrapped with aluminium so that sound waves get deflected back into the stands.
