As others say whether people are prepared to eat and drink at the stadium will depend on various factors such as price, convenience, time to get served, etc.
I don't buy any of this crap about people who can afford to eat and drink at the stadium being quieter fans. I'm sure there are a lot of well off people who sit in the cheap seats and contribute to the atmosphere and vice versa.
How is it a missed marketing opportunity? The transfer window isn't over yet, we're going to have the world cup winning captain in the team, the world cup golden ball winner, they'll no doubt be loads of media interest as we open the stadium, and who knows what he's got planned for the first game. We can't afford to sign megastars just to get good publicity.

We will see. I am very much a "hope for the best, expect less" kind of guy.
I think the stadium, and the concept look great. I think it will fail in execution - and it certainly has been a missed marketing opportunity for Spurs heading into the stadium. There is no denying that.
