Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Tottenham will be under increased pressure to deliver on the pitch if they move to a new stadium.
Spurs plan to redevelop their current White Hart Lane ground to accommodate a new 56,250-capacity venue.
North London rivals Arsenal moved to a new £400m stadium themselves in 2006.
"If you look at English clubs who have built a new stadium and look at where they have finished, then it tells you how difficult it is," said Wenger.
The Gunners have only recently begun to reap the benefits of the switch to the self-funded 60,000-capacity Emirates from Highbury, after years of having to set aside significant funds against a long-term fixed interest rate repayment bond.
During that time, Wenger was required to deliver Champions League football while also balancing the books.
