SUPER IDEA

Tottenham lining up stunning bid to host 2026 SUPER BOWL in £1bn stadium in first-ever NFL showpiece on foreign soil​


TOTTENHAM are reportedly preparing a stunning bid to host the 2026 Super Bowl at their new £1billion stadium.
It would be the first time ever the NFL showpiece is staged on foreign soil.

As first revealed by SunSport back in 2019, the North Londoners are lining up their offer should the grand finale be taken overseas.

Spurs already have a ten-year contract in place to stage two matches per season at their new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

However, as reported by the Daily Mail, they may face hurdles hosting the 2026 Super Bowl due to the time difference.

It would need to be a very late kick-off in London to hit the prime US viewing slot, with more than 100million usually watching the biggest event of the year.




That could cause problems with Haringey Council - but an earlier time may put off advertisers if viewing figures will drop.

Therefore Sydney could be a more suitable option - with an afternoon start Down Under meaning an evening slot in the USA.

Hosting the Super Bowl is said to generate £300m for the city according to the NFL - although that does not factor in the high costs of staging such a huge event.


It could also provide a major boost in Tottenham's search to find a naming-rights holder for the stadium.

Chairman Daniel Levy has had plenty of offers but is said to be holding out for a deal worth £400m offer across 20 years.

The American football league chooses the venue for the match after an Olympic-style bidding process, based on meeting various criteria rather than a financial offer.

This Sunday's showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals is taking place at the SoFi Stadium in California.


The subsequent Super Bowls will be in Arizona, Las Vegas and then New Orleans with one more in the USA before the possible overseas venture.

Spurs will stage another two matches this coming autumn while the Jacksonville Jaguars have one 'home' match at Wembley.

Germany are going to start hosting one fixture per season from 2022, alternating between Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena and Frankfurt.

And there will also be one match played in Mexico next season, too.
Levy's moving the club to Sidney is he....The Sidney Hotspurs. Its has a kind of cast-iron inevitability....

The context was he was at a presser for the stadium specifically targeted at the American market and the NFL.

The people he was talking to were mainly reporters during a panel where NFL UK's Vice President was also there.

John, bless his heart, has no idea why, during a panel with the NFL, he'd market how the NFL could use our stadium.

He's never been bright.

Funnily enough, during a similar event aimed at commercial partners in the U.K, he marketed the Football and Rugby uses too.

Guess what he did when he was talking to possible commercial music partners?

:levylol:
“It is an NFL stadium and that’s the key message. From the very start during the design phase, we have had the NFL in mind. The anchor tenant is Tottenham Hotspur, but this is designed to be a permanent home for the NFL outside the US.

“This building will provide brand exposure globally, both with the Premier League but by also pointing deep into key regions and key cities in the US as well.”

 
Right now it’s a food and drink monopoly whose aim is to take out local businesses so that Tottenham the area can effectively be bulldozed and replaced probably by a Westfield North, The London NFL franchise, and yet more luxury apartments that will be owned and developed by Chinese and Arab companies. The UK has been sold out.
