Meis Architects/Architect Dan Meis began their workshops for Everton’s new stadium this evening and attendees have been sharing snaps from the event.
Speaking at a workshop for #EFC fans @Meisarch confirms the club plan to have a large home end at Bramley-Moore Dock that will hold 12-15k based on Dortmund’s ‘Yellow wall’ depending on final capacity. Template of new stadium shown in grey over Goodison (blue) pic.twitter.com/X7rjPB4BiJ

Meis, who met supporters at St Luke’s Church next to Goodison, also revealed there was scope for the largest stadium ‘big screen’ in the UK, a feature he hoped is kept in the final design. pic.twitter.com/QJ1gS0EjCC

Meis spoke on the issue of capacity. While 99% of Evertonians want 50k plus, he is cautious of 60k. Says he believes in scarcity and the importance of selling out a venue. He pointed out that the last 10k seats in a stadium are the most expensive and bring in the least revenue. pic.twitter.com/yQyDeqoLbJ
