New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

If Americans take over read the average prices in NFL and weep!!

I know that NFL matches are a longer 'occasion' for fans than soccer, but if the US investors do get in charge and can force through significantly higher ticket prices they will do just that.

No sentiment there I'm afraid.



Edit - link not working automatically but you are talking well over $300 per game with the Cowboys dearest, averaging $399.

In the NFL there is only 8 or 9 guaranteed games at home every season so there is much less opportunity to gain money from fleecing fans . Prices in the PL wont get to the equivalent of the $300 mark for 1 game for many many years if ever.

But that’s because they only have a few games and the season is short so people are happy to pay that price for like 8 games.

Americans also have MLB and their average price is $40. Some teams actually have tickets at about $25. NBA is around $95.

We won’t be getting anywhere near the NFL’s ticket prices.

Carpet bagger or no carpet bagger, it took an outsider like him to realise a dream.

I know the fans will pay for every penny of it one way or another, but Moshiri's determination was crucial in making this happen.

In the same way as James Clement Baxter's financial guarantee was enough to get Goodison built, so was Moshiri's for this one...although, of course, the comparisons stop there!

Glad you admit it mate.

As much as we won the oligarch lottery (albeit a Temu version compared to Chelsea) we were so close to being the Mersey billionaires until Putin decided to lose the plot.

Rightfully or wrongfully, I believe the Usmanov period would have been more morally better than an oil state.

I know it wont be to everybody’s tatse, but I would like to see Moshiri at the ground for the first hime game, to come into the pitch and get a round of applause for delivering this wonderful stadium. Gullible and misguided he may have been, but without him none of this would have happened.

I don't think Friedkin (in attendance or not) would be happy with that. I would like to see Moshiri at a game though, (I heard he has a box?).

If that's the case then I think he would generally be well received and would be delighted to acknowledge it, too. There was never any questioning of his good intentions.

Is there going to be a covered area in the fan zone?

There was in the concept drawings. Even if they don't make it happen in the summer, if it's what is being demanded then I'm sure at somepoint it will happen.

Remember that there are overhangs North and South and the under Western terrace, so there is at least something to get out of the worst of it in inclement weather.
