Tottenham are planning to sell the naming rights for their new stadium.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is hoping to raise £400 million for the club by selling the naming rights to their new stadium, The Times report.
Spurs new stadium is being build adjacent to the current White Hart Lane ground, and will not adapt the same title.
This is Tottenham’s final season at White Hart Lane before they play at Wembley in 2017/18, before moving into their new state of the art ground for 2018/19.
The Times report that Tottenham have held talks with more than 300 companies about a potential deal, which could enable the club to get more than half back of the £700 million they are spending on the stadium project.
The new stadium will seat 61,000 fans, narrowly more than the 60,000 seater stadium Chelsea are constructing, and Arsenal’s 60,432 capacity Emirates stadium.
The Gunners sold the naming rights to their ground when it opened in 2006, replacing Highbury. This was extended in 2012 through to 2028, with Arsenal receiving £150 million, The BBC reported.
Tottenham’s stadium plans have won praise since going on show, with ex-player David Ginola taking to Twitter to praise the soon to open ground this week.
