Facility Notes: Tottenham Manager Calls See-Through Tunnel 'Dangerous'

Tottenham Hotspur Manager Mauricio Pochettino joked that plans to allow fans to "peer" into the players' tunnel at its new stadium are "dangerous." Tottenham is "selling 104 corporate seats directly behind Pochettino and his dugout that will have separate access to a glass-walled restaurant that will be adjacent to where the players line up to walk out of the tunnel." Pochettino said, "Dangerous, dangerous, because there have been a lot of things in the tunnel. I can't tell you [what happens]. It will be a very expensive [seat]." The seats will cost £9,500 ($11,761) each but must be bought in pairs -- in addition to a "one-off" £30,000 ($37,140) membership fee for the two tickets (LONDON TIMES, 1/20).

China has "ordered the closure of more than 100 golf courses, the powerful state planner said on Sunday, after a multi-year campaign to tackle illegal development in the sector." Beijing banned new golf courses in '04 to "protect scarce arable land and water resources but new projects continued to be built to meet growing demand from China's wealthy." The National Development & Reform Commission said that "of a total 683 courses in the country, 111 have been ordered to close following a crackdown" launched in '11 (REUTERS, 1/22).
