Tottenham and NFL Agree to Host at Least 2 Games Per Season at New Stadium

Tottenham Hotspur and the NFL announced a 10-year partnership on Wednesday that will see Spurs host at least two annual games at their new London stadium, set to open in 2018.

The new ground will have an artificial turf installed beneath a retractable grass field, making it easier to schedule matches, while facilities will be installed to accommodate both sports.

Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the news via the NFL's official website, saying:

With growing enthusiasm for the NFL in the United Kingdom, we are committed to hosting NFL games in world-class venues and are excited to partner with Tottenham Hotspur to play games at their future stadium.
