'Acousticians' have aided the design of Tottenham's new 61,000-capacity stadium in order to help fan chants sound even louder and more clear, say architectural firm Populous.

They claim the new venue is designed to be more like a concert hall than a football stadium in order to create 'more clean reverberation times' so songs last longer.
