NFL Reportedly Eyeing Premier League Side Tottenham's New Stadium

Tottenham Chair Daniel Levy has held discussions with "numerous companies and potential sponsors over financing for the stadium" and the NFL reportedly "is interested in the development, although Tottenham insist there have been no talks," according to Matt Law of the London TELEGRAPH. It is "widely anticipated that an NFL team will eventually relocate to London." The FA is interested in "making Wembley the London base for an NFL franchise, but may struggle to accommodate a season of eight matches without moving England out." That leaves the possibility of an NFL franchise "splitting their games between Wembley and Tottenham's new stadium." Hosting the NFL at its new stadium "could be highly lucrative for Tottenham, as it is estimated that Wembley makes a profit" of between £500,000 ($766,400) and £1M ($1.53M) per game. The "biggest challenge for the NFL in wanting to use Tottenham's new stadium would be ensuring the pitch was not damaged as a result" (TELEGRAPH, 1/2).
