Offseason 2015 - pijaca, dojave, suskanja , tracevi i ostalo

Tottenham have announced a deal with the NFL that will see them host a minimum of two games per season in their new stadium once it opens in the summer of 2018.

The Premier League club's 61,000-seater arena will feature a retractable grass field with an artificial surface underneath that will be used for NFL games.

Both sports will have dedicated facilities as part of the 10-year partnership, while Spurs have released new pictures of how the stadium will look hosting a different kind of event.

he option of extra-large changing rooms, to accommodate NFL squad sizes that can amount to as many as 70 players at a game, is also being explored by architects.

Tottenham, who will have to relocate - possibly in Milton Keynes - while the stadium is being completed, are set to move in ahead of the 2018-19 season and could be the hosts of the new NFL London franchise.

'We have an opportunity now to deliver one of the most unique sporting and entertainment venues in the world, bringing together the Premier League and the NFL for the first time,' Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said.

'The socio-economic benefits this will bring to the area will be immense and demonstrates our commitment to the regeneration of this priority borough in London.

'We have always underlined the importance of public sector support for the long-term regeneration of the area.

'This was an important factor for the NFL when they agreed to bring their hugely popular sport to Tottenham. I am delighted that we have succeeded in attracting them. We have a compelling and exciting partnership that will play its part as we begin transforming this area of Tottenham.'

The deal is not exclusive and NFL games can take place at other venues in the UK - with Wembley issuing a statement shortly after the Tottenham link-up was announced, detailing their hopes of a continuing relationship with the sport.

'Wembley has enjoyed a unique and successful relationship with the NFL since the International Series commenced in 2007,' it read.

'American Football has been embraced by fans in the UK and Europe and has grown year-on-year.

'Amongst the numerous successes has been the growth of the Jacksonville Jaguars whose community engagement and annual appearances have given a sense of the NFL's long-term commitment to the sport in the UK.

'Wembley Stadium has a proven record of hosting some of the world's biggest events, from record breaking concerts, UEFA Champions League Finals, to the upcoming Rugby World Cup fixtures and the UEFA 2020 European Championship Semi-Finals and Final and we look forward to the NFL remaining part of this iconic venue's annual schedule.'

Retractable grass pitches are nothing new in modern stadia design. England have played on two: at Gelsenkirchen in Germany during the 2006 World Cup and in the Sapporo Dome in Japan four years earlier.

The Gelredome in Holland also has a retractable pitch, as does the University of Phoenix Stadium that hosted this year's Super Bowl.

The NFL will return to Wembley for three games this autumn, with teams looking at how quickly they can have their players back in the USA and ready to play again.

The clash between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars on October 25 will kick-off at 1.30pm while the New York Jets vs Miami Dolphins game on October 4 and Detroit Lions vs Kansas City Chiefs contest on November 1 will both begin at 2.30pm.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell added: 'With growing enthusiasm for the NFL in the United Kingdom, we are committed to hosting NFL games in world-class venues and are excited to partner with Tottenham Hotspur to play games at their future stadium.

'We share a vision and commitment to creating the best experience for our teams, fans and the local community.'

Nije najbolji risiver u diviziji, ali najglasniji svakako jeste. I nikako ne mogu reći da je u pravu neko kome su malo milioni godišnje.

Ne volim ove hold-outove jer su čista glupost. JJ nije sisao veslo pa da odmah nasjedne na ovo. Naravno, Dez zaslužuje pare, ali opet, to je JJ .Ovo više škodi Dezu. Džabe što on priča da će preskakati i utakmice regularne sezone kad svi znamo da će da se vrati u predsezoni.
