Daniel Levy certainly had a broad vision for Tottenham despite all his shortcomings as chairman.
The Lewis family are now in charge at Spurs, but they will arguably want to make the most of the foundations that the previous management has laid.
While Levy wasn’t a popular figure among Tottenham’s fanbase and they wanted to see a change in the hierarchy, the 63-year-old’s legacy will remain in N17.
The New York Jets recently played the Denver Broncos at the Northumberland Development Project, and bigger and better things are expected in North London in the near future.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to host Super Bowl
Levy always wanted Spurs’ home to host the Super Bowl after the tie-up with the National Football League, John Wenham says.

The multi-million deal with the NFL has led to the emergence of the NFL Academy, which the Lilywhite Rose owner believes could potentially serve as a training base as well.
With American football trying to make inroads in the UK, there’s always been an ambition among the North London outfit’s hierarchy to host the Super Bowl in N17.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Wenham said: “I think there’s always been an ambition of that when Levy was at the club.”
He added: “Obviously, we’ve got the tying with the NFL over that multi-year deal. We’ve got the NFL Academy in London as part of the development of the women’s training ground that they’ve bought in Enfield in Whitewebbs Park.
“I imagine part of that will be an NFL training base as well. They haven’t confirmed that yet, but that’s the impression I get. So I think we’ve always been working towards that ambition and that goal.”
Super Bowl prospect will be down to Daniel Levy at Spurs
Levy should be praised as the architect for the Super Bowl at Spurs if the Lilywhites do end up hosting the biggest game in American football.
Tottenham must surely be generating a steady income from NFL matches recently, with ticket sales, merchandise, food and drinks all contributing significantly to the revenue in N17.
The North London outfit’s former chairman had the foresight to make the only purpose-built NFL stadium outside of the United States, and they are now reaping the rewards.
If the Super Bowl does come to Spurs, it will arguably be down to Levy’s vision.
