Tottenham will also face stiff competition from other bidders if NFL moves the Super Bowl overseas. With Sydney’s Australia Stadium showing interest, they could face a serious dilemma. The afternoon kick-off in Sydney is more convenient for American TV viewers, as it coincides with their prime-time viewing schedule.
