The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium may be one of the best footballing venues in the world, but the club will now be allowed to use it for far more than that and far more often, too.
While the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has already hosted NFL games, boxing matches, and music concerts fairly regularly, it will now be home to up to 30 non-footballing events per calendar year.
The club has released a statement regarding the news that planning permission has been granted by Haringey Council to extend the use of the ground, pending an S106 agreement.
The statement added: “It follows an extensive consultation carried out by the Club with local residents and businesses. As part of the application, the Club made a series of commitments in response to resident and business feedback.
“The Club will maintain its hugely popular community ticket scheme, ensuring local residents and community organisations continue to have the opportunity to experience events at the Stadium through the provision of complimentary tickets.”
It is highlighted that through the various events and activities at the stadium, Spurs already contribute roughly £900m of gross output to London’s economy, generating an additional £478m of GVA in London.
According to the statement, a report found that the stadium also offers £344m GVA (£296m in Haringey specifically) to the tri-Borough area of Haringey, Enfield and Waltham Forest.
It is also thought the club will generate 4,300 jobs during the 2026/27 season, with 3,700 of them being full-time equivalent.
The statement closes by claiming extra revenue generated by these new events will be put back into the club for footballing purposes.
Spurs Web Opinion
This is great news for the club, and means we should have much more money to spend on players. Now if we can just see the transfers actually happening sometime soon, that would be brilliant.
