Tottenham are planning a multi-million-pound upgrade of their retractable pitch just three years after opening their new £1billion home. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the only purpose-built NFL ground outside America, with a state-of-the-art grass surface in three sections rolling back to reveal an artificial pitch used for NFL games, such as tomorrow’s clash between New York Giants and Green Bay Packers.
The process takes 48 hours, leaving little margin for error this week, as Tottenham and Eintracht Frankfurt’s players are due to train at the stadium on Tuesday before their Champions League clash the next day.
