    Seems to have gone quiet on that front, for some reason.

    Bizarre to me

    Surely now is the time when companies would be most likely to offer the most

    The longer it’s not sponsored the more it will be forever known as ‘Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’

    I think that the neutrality of the name and the fact that a lot of people still call it White Hart Lane helps with that, though.
    I'm surprised that nobody has jumped in before the NFL games, but I guess there's still time to get that sorted.

    By whom ??

    I call the place "new WHL" , and N yrs from now (assuming I still live)
    the "new" will probably be gone. Also another reason for TfL not to rename
    the train station.

    I will be adding to the bar bill tab as taking 3 mates* to the NFL on Sunday - 2 are Spurs fans and it’s there first ever visit to WHL (old or new)

    *would have loved to have taken my sadly departed dad, as his 2 loves were Spurs and American Football, oh the countless trips to Wembley to watch the London Monarchs.

    Could you do us a favour and update us on the bar prices afterwards?
    I've been wondering whether the fairly reasonable costs will go up for non-Spurs events and this is a chance to find out.
    American NFL fans might have a heart attack at not having to remortgage their houses for a beer.

    £4 for most of the beers, although the beavertown stuff (brewed in the stadium) ranges from £4.50-£5.50 iirc.

    I'll let a fat West Ham fan do the work:


    Amstel, Bulmers (bottle): £4
    Heineken: £4.50
    Bulmers (pint), Guiness, Old Mout, Wine, Beavertown Gamma Ray/Neck Oil: £5.
    I think there's something for £5.50, too.

    Cheers, I will report back. Look normal price.

    I have tickets in the west side/stand on the half way line. They cost £85 plus fees, what do the normal football price be for that area or are they similar in price.
    in comparison I went to the baseball in June at London Stdm and the ticket prices were very high (the views very good tbf) but the food and drink prices took the ****ing piss - not all sports fans have endless pockets or are corporate freebies - saying that I paid for everything lol

    If you’re in the West then that sort of price is similar to a Spurs ticket mate. West is always the most expensive. Should also have a great view.

    £85 for the middle of the West stand sounds about right to me for a Category B or possibly A game.
    Not a massive hike anyway, which I'm a little surprised by. It's one of the most expensive areas of the ground.

    All the West Stand is either Premium seats or season tickets. It is the most expensive part of the ground so I think it will be £120 per match minimum. I seem to recall premium seats in the lower stand middle being £6000 per season.

    Just let someone know that you're a Goon on the way out, so that we can have the seat thoroughly disinfected. <ok>
