Daniel Levy delivers update on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium naming rights deal

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been open for six months now.

And the gleaming new ground continues to impress visiting supporters.

The ground has hosted two NFL games in the past two weeks, as part of the club's deal with the American football corporation, and the stadium has been well received.

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera told football.london : "It's terrific, it really is. Whatever they did, they did it right. The field, the players talked about it being a fast surface, thought it was a good field to play on.

"The amenities in terms of the locker room, the way the locker room is set up, structure as far as the training room, the hydrotherapy room for the guys, it's top-notch. I think if you come here, you should be able to appreciate the situation."

But so far, the ground remains in the name of the club.

When Arsenal built their new stadium across north London, it had a mega sponsorship deal already in place, with the ground named the Emirates after the airline.

Similar happened when Manchester City opened their City of Manchester Stadium - better known as the Etihad.

It is commonplace in football these days for a club's stadium to have a sponsor. But as yet, Tottenham's ground does not.

And chairman Daniel Levy issued an update on the naming rights of Tottenham Hotspru Stadium during a meeting with the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust.

The minutes from the meeting have revealed that "Regarding the naming rights, Daniel Levy once again stated that the club would only do a deal when it was right for all concerned".

Co-chairman of the THST board Martin Cloake then stated: "Having Tottenham Hotspur Stadium all over the US last weekend wouldn’t have done the brand any harm as it is!"
