New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium


revised capacity cited as 52,769


I did say it looked like we lost quite a few seats when they extended the media section (close to the roof - the section to the right).

I wondered, too, about those temporary TV camera positions in the middle of the stands... but I've not been paying enough attention to see if they are still there or have been removed.
 

Even in this 'bowl', there's far too much wasted space. Seats for example, seem too big. If only they could 'tighten' up.
It’s not just about getting more seats in. If the capacity increases then the concourses have to be built according to that capacity and additional turnstiles/exits need to be considered, all that in turn increases the build cost and the footprint required to build.
 
That's two NFL teams that have visited now, right?

One could be considered a coincidence... do we start taking notice now we've had two?

I'd been under the impression that we hadn't the correct facilities to host NFL games, unlike Spurs... maybe the Friedkins are testing that assumption?

We don't, the NFL is just putting a lot of effort in to expand their game in various countries across the globe.

Maybe they future proofed the amount of turnstiles and the size of the concourses to account for 61878 attending.
