Will stadium success Spur on United?
The Journal
|October 17, 2025
NEWCASTLE United have a major decision to make when it comes to their stadium.
The choice facing the Magpies is whether to expand on the current St James’ Park site or build a new state of the art stadium on nearby Leazes Park.
Tottenham Hotspur demolished their White Hart Lane Stadium and built the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on the same site, which opened in April 2019.
It is widely seen as the benchmark for modern stadiums in England and its multipurpose status allows Spurs to bring in huge amounts of extra revenue through non-football events.
A dividing retractable grass surface enables the staging of a variety of major events in addition to Spurs matches, including NFL, boxing, rugby and concerts, creates a recurring source of revenue for the club with up to 30 non-football events per year. That is crucial as they look to maximise their ability in the transfer market against the backdrop of the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules.
