Populous Exec Says Tottenham's New Stadium Engineered To Amplify Sound

Architecture firm Populous said that "acousticians" have aided the design of Tottenham's new 61,000-capacity stadium to "help fan chants sound even louder and more clear," according to Pete South of the London DAILY MAIL. The acoustics experts "claim the new venue is designed to be more like a concert hall than a football stadium" to create "more clean reverberation times" so songs last longer. Populous EMEA Managing Dir Christopher Lee said, "The studies we've done show when you start breaking up acoustics everyone gets out of sync so they stop singing." Key to "boosting the atmosphere is the curvature of stadium's roof," which will be lined with aluminum "to help deflect sound back into the stands." Lee added, "[We've even looked into] how much padding do we have in the seats, where do we have that padding in the seats, which also deals with acoustics" (DAILY MAIL, 1/23).
