Levy give something away cheap? how much have you had? .... they are contributing a 'nominal' amount to the build costs, basically the changes to the East stand for larger changing rooms, very much doubt that cost 10m ... the second pitch is multi-use not just NFL .... the 'value' for Spurs is in the additional naming rights, media, PR exposure the NFL will bring ... that's already been significant before a 'ball's' been thrown in anger .....

It's a speculative investment. If the stadium is able to develop a second anchor tenant whether it's a more significant NFL presence, a London franchise best of all, or perhaps rugby or whatever, it will pay off in spades. Or maybe in 20 years the existence of a plastic pitch underneath the stadium will be a trivia question and we'll have wasted the money. Remains to be seen.
 
Isn't here supposed to be a test event on this weekend? I hope they didn't plan on using the pitch for anything.

Maybe it's just Levy's way of getting more people on site...:levystare:

For better or worse said:
The NLF will have global pitch standards for synthetic turf as it ensures players don't get injured – they have a duty of care and don't want to get sued. In the contract a small point would have covered the synthetic turf supplier being of the NLF choice. In the scheme of things a relatively small point and not worth discussions in a boardroom (been there with sports and it's rarely a contentious point). So the NFL picked a supplier they were happy with which we're perhaps, not the best out there - that's all i'm saying

The real turf and trays are apparently several suppliers coming together to deliver one solution but there are issues unfortunately. I'm hearing the guys involved are decent and they will resolve things but as you can imagine with things of this scale and such new technology there are a few issues.
