Two games at a packed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will allow the city to get reacquainted with live top-level American football for the first time since before the pandemic
The NFL’s return to London after a two-year hiatus because of Covid-19 looks as well-timed as a Tom Brady flea flicker. With no Premier League matches due to the international break, the biggest sports crowd in Britain on Sunday – about 60,000 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – will be hollering away when the Atlanta Falcons take on the New York Jets.
Next weekend, another sell-out crowd will revel in the pompom-waving, XXL-jersey-over-hoodie-wearing, lite beer-slurping experience all over again when the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins come to town.
