Detroit lions amongst others
The Detroit Lions and MGM Grand Detroit have teamed up to build a luxurious private space at Ford Field for approximately 100 annual members. Now under construction in the Lion’s existing stadium, this season the MGM Grand Detroit Tunnel Club will provide an exclusive premium experience for fans combining the excitement of Lions football with the luxury and service associated with MGM Grand Detroit. The inaugural season cost of membership? A whopping $9,500…unlimited food and sodas included.Adjacent to the Detroit Lions locker room, the MGM Grand Detroit Tunnel Club will accommodate over 100 fans and MGM Grand Detroit guests during home games and stadium events.
Looks like there is no glass seperation?
The Philadelphia Eagles have added a premium space to Lincoln Financial Field, as the Axalta Tunnel Club debuted on Thursday.
More NFL teams have been jumping on board this trend. Previously restricted, tunnel areas are commonly being repurposed into exclusive clubs that are designed to put the fans closer to the players. The Eagles are the latest team to undertake this overhaul, adding a club that will come with some special perks.
And the minnesota vikings too

I'm all for new ideas but let's not kid ourselves it's all for money....the real fans will still be the ones that wait for players to arrive and leave and go to the training ground etc. Not buy access through their seniority at a big company.Detroit lions amongst others

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4143886/FA-set-apply-capacity-matches-Wembley.html
The Football Association hope to cash in on clubs using Wembley for 'home' games by asking for an additional 20 full-capacity matches at the stadium.
The current agreement with Brent Council allows for 37 full-capacity games to be played at the national stadium per year. However, the FA want to increase this by 20 to 57 to enable Tottenham to play in front of 90,000 for all home games.
The idea of no restrictions on fan numbers is also likely to appeal to Chelsea, who are looking for a temporary home from next year.
Bringing more games, and greater attendances, to Wembley will be attractive to the FA, who face the financial drain of servicing the loans taken out to build the £757m national stadium.
The FA made a presentation to Brent earlier this month and are set to formally lodge the application, possibly this week.
A Brent Council spokesperson said: 'Any application to temporarily increase the number of major events at Wembley Stadium for the 2017/18 season will be subject to a consultation with local residents and businesses. Following this, the planning committee will make a decision based on the merits of the application.'
It is unclear whether local residents will oppose the plan, but should the FA application be refused, Spurs would be forced to play a number of games in front of a reduced capacity.
Under the terms of the current Wembley agreement with the council, an unlimited number of matches can be held at Wembley if the attendance falls under 50,000.
Spurs are expected to move out of White Hart Lane after completing the final game of this season, scheduled to be against Manchester United on May 13.
Last May, Spurs announced a deal to use Wembley for this season's European fixtures, which included an option to play all home Premier League and cup matches at the national stadium next season while construction work continues on their new 61,000-seat stadium.
Wembley has long been earmarked as Spurs' favoured location, although the club have not yet officially confirmed the move. However, the Mail on Sunday understands Spurs will take up their option to play there.
An official club announcement is expected be made in the spring, before renewal forms are sent out to season ticket holders in April.
The club last year signed an agreement with the Football Association to use Wembley next season, before moving to a new home for the 2018-19 season.
However, club officials want certainty that the new stadium is on schedule before making any announcements.
Sources close to the club state that construction work is currently on schedule.
Chelsea are also expected to move to Wembley from next year for three seasons, after the RFU this week ruled out Twickenham as a temporary home.
Local residents opposed Chelsea using the home of rugby due to fears of increased traffic and anti-social behaviour.

GQ interview with stadium designers Populous: "6 reasons why Tottenham's new ground will be better than Arsenal's"
SIX REASONS THE NEW TOTTENHAM STADIUM WILL BE BETTER THAN ARSENAL'S EMIRATES
From designing the roof like a concert hall to chairman Daniel Levy getting hands-on with lifts, designers Populous talk us through Spurs' new home
STORY BY STUART MCGURK
MONDAY 23 JANUARY 2017
As Tottenham announce detailed plans of their new 61,000 seater stadium – complete with its own beer brewery and “Tunnel Club” private members’ area (above),which will let you see the players through two-way glass – GQ spoke to Christopher Lee of designers Populous about taking inspiration from Germany, designing the roof like a concert hall, and how chairman Daniel Levy is so hands-on he’s spent hours with him looking at lifts.
1 Borussia Dortmund’s stadium was the inspiration for the 17,000 single tier south stand
“The single tier came in quite early, we were very focused on this idea of referencing and what we thought made great old stadiums and I think Dortmund’s is fantastic. If you’ve ever been to a game at Dortmund it’s incredible - just seeing the stand full of yellow is phenomenal. The atmosphere was really important for us, so the idea of the single tier really drove the idea of that atmosphere. We went to Dortmund, we’ve been to the Kop [at Liverpool's Anfield stadium], we’ve been to lots of single tiers to design an incredible single tier, 17,000. It’s going to be awesome.”
2 Despite being a bowl stadium, they’ve kept the feel of separate stands
“If there was any great fear from us it was not to create a generic stadium. We all wanted to create something that had personality, its own identity, its own nuances. We spent a lot of time thinking about the stadiums we all loved and why we loved them, what makes White Hart Lane special. Proximity to the pitch is incredibly important for that, noise is incredibly important, but also having an identity about where you sit. I think if modern stadiums, or some modern stadiums have a justified criticism is that you end up with this extruded seating bowl, and once you’re in there you never know where you are – whether you’re in the north, the south, the east or the west. Do you have an identity? Are there a bunch of people around you who come week in week out? So to create a bowl with atmosphere and personality was important.”
3 Acoustically, it’s been designed like a concert hall
“We worked with a company called Vanguardia, who bring in acousticians, guys who are sound engineers. Atmosphere is made up of a bunch of things – a bit of science and a bit of art. One of the really important things we spent a lot of time with them on, and part of the driver for the [17,00 single tier, the largest of its type in the UK] south stand was about creating more clean reverberation times so songs last longer. The studies we’ve done with them shows when you start breaking up acoustics everyone gets out of sync, singing 'C’mon you Spurs' or whatever the song is, and so they stop singing. So once they create acoustics where they don’t break down, the reverberation times are quicker, they last longer, they get louder, and the louder people get, the louder people around them get, and so the atmosphere and the noise builds.”
4 ... in everything from the roof to the seats
“It’s about the material the roof’s made of, the shape of the roof, where it inclines and where it doesn’t. We’re lining the underside of the roof with an aluminium soffit lining and it ends up working a bit like a concert hall, so we have sections where we’re adding more absorption where we need it so we have perforated bits with acoustic lining. I mean, it really has been considered much like a concert hall's acoustics would be considered, in order to get this incredible clarity of the acoustics within the seating bowl. The level it’s been taken to is unique. I don’t think we’ve ever done the amount of studies, the amount of work, the discussion of materials – where absorption is, where it isn’t – even how much padding do we have in the seats, where do we have that padding in the seats, which also deals with acoustics.”
5 It’ll have as many food options as American sports stadiums (i.e. a lot)
“We’re developing a huge food court in the south stand which will bring food trucks and street food in, we’re looking at being able to brew our own craft beer on site, so you get these incredible options. I think as a football fan if you come 30 times a year, it’s a lot of games to go to and eat same thing. I think it’s a failing of English football, as opposed to I think American sports. What we wanted was options that you can do so you can say, 'I’m going to have a meal' or 'I’m going to go and drink beer with my mates' or 'I’m bringing my girlfriend this week, I’m bringing my mother next week'. It’s very easy to say ok so he sits there, he comes in this gate, he goes to that seat and that makes the design simple. But when you’re saying ok, you can come in that gate or you can come in that gate then you’re allowed to go round to this area or you want to go up to a bar up there, those complexities of movement were quite challenging to design a stadium with that sort of free flow.”
6 Chairman Daniel Levy has been micro-managing everything… including the lifts
“Daniel’s got quite a reputation as being a hard negotiator and everything, but I found him really enjoyable to work with. He’s incredibly detail focused. Two weeks ago, we spent six hours looking at the insides of lifts. And I don’t mean the cars, the mechanisms. We went up the Cheese Grater [Leadenhall Building] and he spent three hours talking to one of the Richard Rogers guys who designed the lifts there, with him saying, 'So what about those counter weights? How can we change those?' I mean how many chairmen do that? He’s the kind of client who continues to push you, saying is that good enough? Can we do better? And he’s not afraid to change things. We changed an entire façade of the building post-planning. He spends so much time thinking about it, working with you. I mean, I’ll meet Daniel three times a week, I’ll get a dozen emails from him a day saying, 'Have you seen this, look at this, what about this?' He’s always trying to make it better

I love the idea of Levy going around London's various skyscrapers, riding up and down their lifts for hours on end and grilling the maintenance men over the state of their counter-weights, lol
By the way, if anybody is unfamiliar with the lifts at the Leadenhall, they're bloody quick and smooth and supposed to be "the fastest in Europe". That's dedication to detail right there!
I'm guessing this is what Levy is hoping for our lifts in the new WHL:

This I feel is where football stadia have missed a trick I think?if I understand correctly what he is saying.Most people dont arrive inside the stadium until less than 30mins before kick off,and most of those in the last 15mins from what I experience.Why do we do this now?In ye good ole days we used to go in the east stand have a beer or five,go up to the shelf or round to the park lane or into the paxton if you had your missus with you!!You say to your mates I am going on the shelf,some would go in the park lane,dont think any of us ever said we are going in the paxton?except maybe one time some hammers kicked off in there.
Now the stands are not only segregated by north south....,upper and lower is segregated,blocks are segregated,now we all meet friends up there?I presume....So what do we do now?well I go to the gilpin maybe seem Mal or dorset,paul smith and the spurs odyssey guys,I ll have a couple there and go to the brikkies to meet others,maybe the brown eagle 10 doors down to collect someone else on the way.Because you cannot get tickets together even if you wished to,so people are in the paxton,west stand east,south,upper/lower,if you want to have a drink together you do it elsewhere because at WHL (and everywhere else) you cannot move around inside the stadium because of segregation.So no atmosphere,not all of you can share the time together so you go to a pub close by. Or if your weird and just want to eat a cafe or food place nearby.
Maybe if there is this free-flow they are speaking of?I may start going in the ground before the team just comes out? but then that depends on price,quality,atmosphere and a helluva load of other things THFC have to get right.

That's never going to happen for fans that want to have a few beers before the game, a fag maybe and a sing song etc. and to be honest I don't think the club really want the Brikkies or even the general pub crowd. They wouldn't spend enough dosh. The environment will be more tuned for families and groups and corporate etc. They will also factor in their income generating football tourists, that will buy and photograph everything in sight and finally the NFL fans.
That's fine, the club has been run as a business for a while now and it's really going places judging by the success on the field, as long as they don't forget the 5-10,000 or so, that will make all the noise, generate the atmosphere and fill the South stand. Because without that you might just as well watch on TV.

Steve is now good mates with some of the brikkies workers,do you have any idea how many tens of thousands they take on a match day!then think gilpin,coach and horses,No 8 or whatever its called,(bell&hare),antwerp arms,Bill Nic,the irish centre,beehive,two brewers,corner pin,pride of tottenham..........that is easily over half a million in sales every match day (just those pubs),Levy will be into that!! Why else build a 86m long bar in one of the stands!It happens on away days in the concourse bars,its a huge sale opportunity.Who wouldnt turn it down,he will make sure whatever lounge he is in will never see whats going on there.He`s heard the sol campbell songs enough a few dozen times more prematch isnt going to kill him

.....and in proper glasses. I don't think it's ever going to happen unless you are one of the elite in the posh sections, and I don't think I'd want to mingle with them buggers even if I was flush with wedge. I like the tradition of the pre-match pub, I don't think any stadium can ever recreate that, it would be like this 'traditional pubs' they have in airports and the Irish pubs in Spain. Fake, fake pubs, they are not real, I am telling you that you will be so happy with the real pubs that I will make available to you, yes so happy, you will be happy, so happy that you will not bother with the fake pubs, these false, fake pubs that Hilary would have given you would have been fake and she's so ugly and crooked, not even a bit orange, false woman, totally fake ... oh yes you will be so happy with my pubs, so happy..

I am a bit partial to uncle Don Julio,at over £50 a bottle only partial!!Someone told me it was the mutts nuts,I always thought tequila made you do that "oh fuck" shiver thing everytime and made your arm hairs stand up,but no some tequila`s are more equal than others,smooth as a newborns buttcheeks and just as effective as the white spirity tequila which I am very partial because its 90% cheaper !!

This gives you an idea of how much larger than WHL its going to be,if you compare the old girl in the background.Look at the crane by core 6 (the demolished corner of the north stand),The new stadium will be up to just below the cabin on the crane,the old stadium is about two thirds of that height!
