Justin Jefferson has revealed what he thinks of the NFL pitch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he and his teammates have even given it a name.The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been a major talking point since it was fully completed in 2019. Although the state-of-the-art arena came at a huge cost to the club, it is quickly generating that money back.One of the issues regarding the stadium relates to the atmosphere. White Hart Lane did not have a reputation for being one of the loudest grounds, but there was a passion for Tottenham Hotspur there.However, the new stadium has boosted the reputation of the club on a global scale. It has hosted big-name artists such as Beyoncé, as well as rugby and NFL matches.Photo by SpursWebNFL stars name the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium pitchThe NFL matches show just how impressive the Spurs Stadium is because all matches are played on the underground surface beneath the football pitch.NFL wide receiver Justin Jefferson has revealed the Minnesota Vikings even have a special name for the pitch due to the speed it generates.Not one for those who have an aversion to anything else taking place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but NFL star Justin Jefferson admits the Vikings players have a name for the surface at Spurs' home. https://t.co/Kyq8IWskaE— Alasdair Gold (@AlasdairGold) October 6, 2025 He told Football London: “We call it a speed track. You know, it’s pretty much thinner than normal, than what we’re used to. I love it!” “It makes you run faster. It makes you look like you got a little extra speed on you, but I mean, it really doesn’t matter about the surface. It’s just all about your technique and your footwork and getting in and out of your breaks. I will never blame the turf or the surface.” Spurs are struggling at homeThe Minnesota Vikings have won their past two matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which is a better record than Spurs themselves have recorded. Thomas Frank’s team have picked up more points than any other Premier League team away from home, but they have the fifth-worst home record.This is because Tottenham have been defeated by Bournemouth and dropped points against Wolves. If Spurs are to maintain a high position in the Premier League table, it is crucial they get back to winning ways when in North London.READ MORE – World Cup winner could make a two-year return to football against Tottenham Hotspur  The post NFL star reveals the players have a nickname for the Tottenham Hotspur pitch appeared first on Spurs Web.
