on july 8, 2015 it was announced that the nfl had agreed to stage a minimum of two games a season for a ten-year period at tottenham hotspur's new stadium in northumberland park, which was initially due to open in 2018 but has since been delayed to 2019. this was interpreted as boosting the chances of an eventual london franchise. as a result of the deal, the stadium is to be specifically designed for both american and association versions of football. it has a retractable natural grass pitch over an artificial surface to be used for nfl (which should allow both soccer and nfl games to be played on the same weekend), and with locker rooms of sufficient size to accommodate the 53-man size of an nfl team roster. its proposed capacity of 61,000 was described a being more appropriate for the day to day requirements of an nfl franchise than wembley's 84,000. it has been suggested the design will also eliminate the issue at wembley whereby the lowest 5,000 seats cannot be used because spectator's view of the pitch is obstructed by the various officials, coaches and players who stand on the sidelines during an nfl game. the architect, populous, has previously designed 14 nfl stadiums.

the rose bowl in pasadena, ten miles (16 kilometers) northeast of downtown los angeles, was built in 1922. it is used by the ncaa's ucla bruins football team since 1982, but has never been a permanent home for an nfl team. the rose bowl instead has hosted the super bowl, and with five editions (xi, xiv, xvii, xxi, and xxvii) has the second most tenants of any venue. during the two decades without the nfl in l.a., a renovated rose bowl was a strong candidate to host a relocated or expansion team. however, after many years of varying offers, no deal could be struck between the nfl owners, the stadium's owner, and the city of pasadena. on november 7, 2006, pasadena voters overwhelmingly (72% opposition) rejected a financing package that would have allocated money for a renovation of the stadium that would have accommodated an nfl team in fear of greatly increased traffic. while in 2012, pasadena officials approved a proposal which could allow an nfl team to temporarily play in the rose bowl, once the nfl asked in 2015 whether the rose bowl was open to being a temporary home for an nfl team, the stadium operators declined the offer.
