Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

SubZero said:
That said, I really would like for us to incorporate White Hart Lane in some capacity at the new stadium. For all the British' aptitude for naming things something cool, many of your football stadiums have sort of, well, less than common names. Like Potato Field, Cowshed Stadium, The Outhouse, The Pigs' Pen, Highbury and such. White Hart Lane on the other hand, is a name that expresses something elegant, something genuinely British, royal almost. I can quite objectively say that it's the most beautiful name for a stadium anywhere. Every stadium loses some of it's soul when the corporization of the sport goes too deep. Who the hell can love an Emirates, JJB or Duncan's Radio Repair Stadium? I know that it's a business, but I don't have to have it rammed down my throat. At least the Americans call it what it has become, a franchise.

Typically English in that it's named after something actually aristocratic/royal and 600 years old (White Hart, the livery badge of Richard II)

I dont think American Sport is that well known outside of America.

Sure, Sky show the super bowl now and people tune in, but outside isolated pockets I dont think American sports are consumed outside of America (and Canada?) in a big way at all.

Its massively growing outside the states and is already massive in Asia etc
 
The thing about MSG is that it's right in the heart of Manhattan, where space is at a premium. It's not huge and it looks kind of like a round box whose purpose is to contain brick (that's what the Knicks are anyway). Obviously, it's an indoor arena but I would agree that most of its fame probably comes as an events venue in addition to being the home of the Knicks and Rangers.
 
This thread has really taken a turn for the worse, all because some bored Aussie decided to have a crack at Wembley's place in the world stadium pecking order.

Can someone just please announce a fcuking test event or two!
