Finance guru: Tottenham ‘raising the bar’ with new multi-million payout
Tottenham are continuing to “raise the bar” at their world-class stadium by keeping the facilities up to date at every available opportunity.
That is the view of finance expert Doctor Dan Plumley, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the latest mooted upgrades at the 63,850-seater arena.
The stadium, which has this week been the subject of reports regarding a potential naming rights deal with tech giants Google, opened its doors to the public in April 2019.
It features a retractable pitch which can be switched out for an NFL playing surface, allowing Spurs to host several lucrative American football matches per year.
The Daily Mail reported last Friday (7 October) that the North Londoners are now planning a multi-million upgrade of the retractable pitch.
Plumley saluted Spurs for constantly being on the lookout for infrastructure improvements.
“You have to maintain your position with these things,” the Sheffield Hallam University expert told Football Insider’s Adam Williams.
“The stadium cost over £1billion to build in the first instance. They have to pay that off in the long run, but they have to maintain that at a cost.
“But you have to consider the long-term play in terms of what you can earn from that in the future. You can’t build the stadium install the two new pitches and then just leave them for 10 0r 15 years.
“It will have been built into the costing model. Now they have raised and set the bar, you have to keep raising it.”
