I went to an NFL London Game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and these are the things I wish I knew before going

Don't drive to the stadium.

The bars around the arena are packed.

As is the club store.

The food and drink inside is very expensive.

You can drink in your seat.

But be prepared to stand.

Dress for two climates.

Upon arriving in Tottenham, the sun was out. I quite happily stood watching the game in a t-shirt for a couple of hours.

However, as the game and day went on, the temperature dropped to the point you needed a jumper or jacket.

Luckily there was no rain, otherwise I would have been really cold.

Expect lots of breaks.

It's a long and pricey day out.

Including travel to-and-from the stadium, the match itself, and a drink in a bar after – the day was a solid 12 hours from start to finish.

That's much longer than any sporting event I'd ever been too. By the end, I was tired and couldn't wait to get home and clamber into bed. 

But one that's worth it.
