The BBC have spoken to Tyson’s business partner, Alki David, about the possible deal between the cannabis company and the football giant:
It’s a great stadium.
It’s something we’ve specifically been looking for to adopt in our company and it seemed like an amazing idea.
My company is a cannabis company and Spain has a long tradition within the European Union as being a leader or a liberal in the road towards legalisation, so it’s evolved quite naturally.
The world is born on ideas.
