Why Spurs' Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is perfect for NFL games

Why Spurs' Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is perfect for NFL games

As one of the biggest Premier League venues, Spurs' relatively new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium home has been selected again to host NFL fixtures for the 2025 NFL International Games. As an impressive sporting arena, it should come as no surprise either.

While games could also be hosted at other English venues, Tottenham's home is undoubtedly the best. After all, it's a stadium that has already welcomed NFL crowds, with American football fans seemingly enjoying their experience in the only purpose-built NFL stadium outside of the States. As a club, Spurs have therefore played a part in the growth of the sport in this part of the world, with an increasing amount of UK sports fans now having an NFL team they follow.

The NFL's all-around package is complex and difficult to resist for fans who enjoy sporting occasions. As the playoffs and the subsequent Super Bowl highlight, it's a great spectacle. Today, UK fans are gearing up for one the greatest shows on the planet, with fans selecting players for their fantasy teams and assessing any Super Bowl odds before having a bet on the action. These same fans will also be keen to sample the NFL games at Tottenham's spectacular home.

As many Premier League fans have already discovered, it's a great venue. With that in mind, below are some notable reasons why it's the perfect venue for this year's NFL International Games.

Great transport links

First and foremost, any stadium hosting major sporting events needs to be straightforward to get to. Thankfully, for NFL fans, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium meets the criteria, with numerous train and bus links making it easy to travel to the venue. Four stations serve the stadium; people can get there via the London Underground, London Overground, and Greater Anglia services. Likewise, there are numerous TFL buses to use, plus cycle parking. For people considering driving, though, there is a distinct lack of parking spaces in and around the stadium, with the Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) closing the roads surrounding the stadium. It therefore makes a lot of sense to rely on public transport, with the services above running smoothly.

A stunning external look

For a stadium to appeal to fans, it must have an eye-catching external look. Tottenham's new home delivers in that respect, with its modern design full of glass and shaded paneling making for a stunning overall structure. It also looks huge, creating excitement among supporters and making them feel like they're about to witness some of American football's finest players in a truly world-class sporting arena.

A fantastic atmosphere

As Spurs fans themselves have created on numerous occasions, Tottenham's lush new residence is also capable of offering an unrivaled atmosphere. The noise can be like a cauldron in a stadium designed to keep chants and music in, with 62,850 fans capable of creating a fantastic experience. NFL fans have also made a similar impact. While it might not be accessible on the day of the game, some fans even get themselves in the mood by taking a tour of the stadium or tackling the skywalk.

Delicious food to devour

Finally, Tottenham's stadium has also received further plaudits due to the top-notch food on offer. A key part of any NFL experience, fans can try English favorites like fish and chips alongside some new dishes with an American flavor. From wings to corn dogs, fans can taste America in a venue packed full of delicious grub.
