    DescriptionAs Premier League soccer grows more expensive, clubs are embracing American luxury to boost revenue. Tottenham’s £1 billion stadium regularly hosts NFL games and concerts, while Manchester City’s £300 million North Stand fan zone, opening next season, comes with high-end bars, restaurants and a hotel. Hospitality packages, tunnel clubs, and DJ events are all part of a push to chase commercial income outside of the clubs’ football games. But some fans are worried that the pursuit of profit is leaving them behind. Its not likely to change, either. Next season, more than half of the clubs in the league will either be fully or partially owned by American investors, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Fulham, Chelsea, Leeds, Burnley, Bournemouth, Everton, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
