Spurs to open new stadium with Palace clash

Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed they will play the first game in their new stadium against Crystal Palace on Wednesday, April 3.

The opponent for Spurs’ first game at the stadium was dependant on Brighton’s FA Cup campaign – they beat Millwall to advance to the last four.

That Premier League match with Brighton will now be played on April 23 or 24.

The new stadium will also host Spurs’ Champions League quarter-final first leg against Manchester City on April 9.

Tottenham, who have played home games at Wembley this season, were scheduled to move to the new White Hart Lane stadium in September but construction was delayed several times. –BBC
