GOOD NEWS;One of the most powerful men in sport hints £300m event could come to Tottenham
Never one to place a ceiling on Spurs’ commercial ambitions, chairman and co-owner Daniel Levy has continuously attempted to bring the biggest events in the world to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Who knows how many other artists will have graced the stage at the 62,850-seater stadium before then, with Beyonce, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Lady Gaga among the superstars to have already appeared.
The stadium has also been the go-to London venue for blockbuster heavyweight boxing matches between Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora, as well as Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.
Levy has also overseen an unsuccessful effort to stage the 2026 Hockey World Cup final at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and a 15-year deal with Formula One has seen a karting track installed at the ground.
Some fans have understandable tired of hearing about Tottenham’s commercial success in recent years.
That is entirely understandable given the North London club’s ongoing silverware drought, which will be into its 17th season if Ange Postecoglou fails to win something this term.
But with the number of non-football event hosted by Spurs set to double thanks to their capture of a new license from Haringey Council, those fans may have to get used to it.
And Spurs’ biggest commercial triumph at the money-printing stadium may still be yet to come.
Tottenham to host the Super Bowl?
Over the last two weekends, Tottenham have hosted matches at the NFL’s London Games.
More than 120,000 spectators in total descended on N17 to take in the New York Jets vs the Minnesota Vikings and later the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Chicago Bears.
The NFL is the most lucrative sporting competition in the world – and by a massive margin. Spurs have capitalised on that.
