Tottenham’s new stadium is still two years away from completion, but that hasn’t stopped them carving out some pretty crazy plans for their new home.
On the face of it, the new ground – which, incidentally, still doesn’t have a name other than ‘Northumberland Park’ – is all about transforming Spurs back into one of the biggest teams in the country.

The club have made an agreement with the NFL to host American Football, which already sounds ridiculous enough given the impact that could have on the pitch.
Spurs are planning to have a surface that retracts with an NFL pitch underneath, however that works, and Levy has now revealed a further twist.
