Being from the UK i can't see Levy who owns Spurs letting NFL happen on it, unless there is a crazy amount of money being offered to him

On that previous thread someone asked about whats a Hotspur.. taken from Wiki.

The Hotspur Football Club was formed in 1882 by a group of school boys, mostly aged 13 to 14, from Tottenham Grammar School and Saint John's Middle Class School who were members of the Hotspur Cricket Club formed two years earlier.[1] The idea for the club was conceived by Robert Buckle with his two friends Sam Casey and John Anderson so they may continue to play sport during the winter months. It is said that the boys gathered one night under a lamppost along Tottenham High Road (around 100 yards from the now demolished White Hart Lane ground below the junction with Park Lane), and agreed to form a football club.[2] It is not known when this meeting took place, the date of formation of the Hotspur Football Club is therefore taken to be 5 September 1882, the date the eleven boys had to start paying their first ever annual subscriptions of sixpence.[3][4] They had 18 members by the end of the year.[1] Although the name "Northumberland Rovers" was mooted, they settled on "Hotspur" as the name for the club. As with the Cricket Club, it was chosen in honour of Sir Henry Percy (better known as "Harry Hotspur", the rebel of Shakespeare's Henry IV, part 1), whose Northumberland family owned land in North London including Northumberland Park.

It’s already agreed on.

I think the NFL put some money down to help build the new White Hart Lane.

Its not known exactly but in company figures there is a payment for 10m, some believe this is from the NFL. The whole stadium and surrounding projects will be paid for by the football club. The local authority will be paying 15m towards new roads and facilities around the stadium, which is long overdue.. some would say the Tottenham area is the most deprived area in London and the London riots a couple years back started in Tottenham. Not a penny is coming from the public purse towards the actual stadium project.

The new training ground facilities will be completed soon, the main building and training areas were completed five years ago, but since the second phase has started with a hotel like facilities at the training base. In order to get planning permission on green belt land the club got letters from clubs all over the world willing to use the facilities should they play in London. These facilities have attracted the premier football country of Brazil who have from yesterday signed a deal to use these facilities for there pre world cup warm up games prior to the world cup. The facility is big enough to home an NFL team too.

I might become interested in soccer if the electric motors that move the real pitch over the NFL artificial turf were kept on and moved the three sections of grass back and forth during a Hotspur match.

so what is the official plan here? Just have a few games each year played in London? Or are they actually going to have a London team?

If, it would fail gloriously. Europe is getting more into football but we support the team we want based on other facts than if they are located in Europe or not. I rather pay much more and fly to the US and get to know the the country, culture and everything than some soccerlike experience in London. Not to mention that team would suck! I mean you think you'd attract decent free agents moving outside the US?

The official plan right now is to continue having 4 games a season in London. Tottenham will host 2 games a year over 10 years. No one knows what the NFL truly wishes to do, but there is no smoke without fire regarding an actual team in London.

Yes

England is a beautiful country.

The stadium looks pretty full when the NFL plays over there. There is interest in American football. Who thought hockey would take off in Dallas?j

The new team can't be worse than the world cup team from England. The USA soccer team is supposed to be bad.

Tottenham has England captain and current leading scorer at the world cup playing at the stadium, he has also recently been called the most valuable player in world football at a value of over €200m having just eclipsed both Messi and Ronaldo in scoring this past season. Tottenham have three players in the top 20. Harry Kane is also a massive Patriots fans and has recently become buddies with Tom Brady on social media with Brady wishing him well at the world cup on Instagram. Kane has used the same Brady mantra to get where he is today, Harry Kane was loaned out to 9 clubs in about 3 seasons as a youngster but he never gave up and now finds himself not only a Talisman for his club Tottenham but also England captain. He also has taken on Brady's dietary advice, loves avocado's and pretty much worships the ground Brady walks.

Because of the draw, England have a fantastic chance.

People aren't going to support a London franchise, they'll have very few fans. People who follow the game in Europe are already fans of other teams. And European fans are a lot more tribal, they're not just going to abandon a team because of a London franchise...

Those fans follow US teams because they don't have a local team. People in Mass used to be diehard Giants fans before the Pats arrived.

A British NFL team vs a rival NFL team would draw interest. I don't know who England's biggest rival is. Ireland?

The NFL is looking at heavily populated locations with high income. London has both.
