Yes. Surely it’s simple - 10 year deal for 20M per year equals 200M for players on contract signatureWhy are people still sooooooooooo hung up on a naming rights deal?
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has it's own social media - https://twitter.com/spursstadium
Are naming rights THAT important?
There’s has to be value in the stadium being called Tottenham Hotspur tbh I think it was a bit of a genius move. If there’s no value why do people pay £15m a year for naming rights. For sure a lot more people in the states are aware of us than ever were and that all has a knock on effect in other areas commercially.
What a trolling fool you've become - "not exactly dripping with Spurs"It's called the THS for a number of reasons. First is so that people don't get too attached to a name before we get a deal but also I guess, so that we don't forget who the current key tenant is. Other than a shiney cock on top, when you're inside it's not exactly dripping with Spurs, is it?

Tottenham Pie, One of Our Own beer, images from our history all round the walls of the concourses, old WHL centre spot marker, Come on You Spurs above the players tunnel, cocks on the facade of the building,....no you'd never know who's stadium it was.What a trolling fool you've become - "not exactly dripping with Spurs"
In fact it includes materials from the old stadium ... so it is literally made with Spurs history
all homages to our history ... have you noticed the colour schemes throughout? if you were a fan you'd know that they're all based on Spurs traditional colours.
- The Shelf (East Stand, Level 1) ...
- The Dispensary (West Stand, Level 5) ...
- The White Hart (East Stand, Level 5)
But hey - "not exactly dripping with Spurs" - that might just be the dumbest post of the year.

I'm a season ticket holder who has also bought tickets in all the other stands.You’ve never been inside have you ? I mean the concourses are literally head to toe with Spurs memorabilia.

I don't watch football in the concourse.
More often than not, there's 3 tiers of red AIA ads blasting around the stadium making it look more like the Emirates than a Spurs stadium.
When empty there is zero Spurs identity on show. All absolutely deliberate to make it a neutral venue. Especially for the TV cameras.

It’s hilarious the crying over other event hosting. The old WHL hosted all sorts.It is an absolutley fantastic stadium and the fact we have other events hosted there is great. The fact is, it is everything else with the club is the problem and the stadium is the one shining light at the club at the moment.
Yep WHL hosted boxing back in the 80's and 90's nobody moaned about it then. Hosting other events at the stadium is the very least of our worries.It’s hilarious the crying over other event hosting. The old WHL hosted all sorts.
Old Trafford when it was the top venue hosted rugby, England intls, Olympics etc.
If you did the tour, you'd know the attention to detail that referred to our history the design included. The cockerel is emblazoned all over the exterior, the tiling includes 1882 and our motto.

Actually, I agree with you re the AIA ads, all that red infuriates me. However, they now list all the Supporters Clubs from around the world, which I love, especially as Malta comes up in front of meI'm a season ticket holder who has also bought tickets in all the other stands.

The shop was built around Warmington House, which is full of Spurs history.
Bill Nick's ashes are buried under the pitch, together with his wife's.
People can hate Daniel Levy as much as they like, but once the stadium build was envisaged, the actual design was well thought out and included lots of references to our history.
From your remark, it makes me think that you haven't been to the stadium, for whatever reason.![]()
Sorry, wasn't clear that you weren't referring to the stadium as a whole. I still think that on match day, there is no doubt whose stadium it is. I don't see the problem with having a multi purpose use stadium in the area, Tottenham isn't exactly a thriving place when it's not being used, the local restaurants and bars must love it when there's an event on.I've done the tour.
Still maintain that from inside the actual stadium, you could be anywhere. Watching any team. And that's by design.
