Interesting. I would imagine that makes us the first team to have a stadium named after a brand of sauce...I guess it depends whether you count Heinz Field or not.

Could give Bazza from SSC some credit...HP announced Monday apparantly.

We’d all be happy with Hewlett Packard I should think?
I don’t really care about the money, but they are a good fit given all the current and historic corporate ties.
It gives them a bit of an edgy vibe to re-import back to the US (London, high tech funky stadia, NFL).
Very smart. Hoping it’s not a Bank.
The White Hart would be my sponsor of choiceI wish San Antonio's basketball team would sponsor our new ground.

I think we'd need a name like that anyway because unless the sponsor happens to also be a UEFA partner, we can't use a sponsored name in European competition. For instance, in the Europa League Arsenal play at "Arsenal Stadium", not the Emirates.Reading through the THST minutes from 20 Feb 2018 point 3.19 says that the club will refer to the stadium as Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until a naming partner for the stadium could be found. So I guess, for now at least, that's the name of our new stadium.
Also, seen a few mentions of a 20-year deal over the last few pages. I hope that it's a 5 to 10 year deal max. Preferably 5 years. Can you imagine how much sponsorship deals will move on in 20 years time? We'd be completely left behind. Got to keep up revenue growth and not tie ourselves into something which will give us short-term gain and long-term pain.

I also think a 20-year deal can make sense just because re-naming a stadium is never as valuable as naming a new one - see the disastrous attempts to rename St James' Park for an example. Fans and media will often just keep using the old name. Ideally you want a long-term deal, but at a variable rate e.g. increases in the sum due based on the level of commercial exposure delivered - essentially bonuses for securing Champions League football, more NFL matches, or better viewing figures.

Looks like it might have been. As is a load of the stuff spouted in the Houses of ParliamentSo was all the HP stuff a load of bollocks?
Don’t think it was taken in the way it was intendedSo was all the HP stuff a load of bollocks?
