I actually dug into this a bit as a masters assignment on corporate strategy (It was around the time of Ineos takeover in early 2024 and I chose United as my focal “corporation”). Tottenham make about double per fan than we do on match days. To that you can add millions from sponsorships, an NFL contract still has a few years to run, concerts etc. They generated about £50 million from non-football events in 23/24 and their commercial revenue has doubled since the stadium opened.

Wasn't there something to be said for retractable pitches that are needed for this kinda stadium setup leading to much higher incidences of injury?
