Dyche would have the grass grown in the corners to lump the ball into for our players to chase
That's correct. It's another way of generating income, and to be fair if people are willing to pay it then so be it, I guess. For me, it ain't worth it.

They can have a lower rake because they are usually further away from the pitch for American football. Plus they need that to accommodate the larger capacity over multiple tiers. The bottom tier will probably hold as many as the whole of BMD and the C-values will be as high, so it is a bit of a strained comparison tbh. That said, sometimes the pitches need to be raised for use during association football, so some of the views can be compromised if not..... which we saw at the MetLife stadium, which is going to be used for the world Cup final.

I agree. I find that a monstrosity.
I'm sure a certain type of American would love that - but to me it's a typical, vulgar temple to commercialism that looks pretty similar to all of the similar franchise venues in cities across the US.
The internals look cluttered and, yes, ugly.
Ours may be a relatively modest structure, but its's got a lot more character than this and fells less...dystopian.
That Atlanta stadium looks like it wants to eat you.
Lower tier looks too flat, too.

Only going to reply once to this pathetic argument. The club nearly going out of business is down to the owner and the board. Their mismanaged.
The stadium funding included in that the stadium design come before that they could have built bigger with a different roof. The owner screwed it up not the stadium.
Blame the stadium may as well gone to Stonebridge Cross bigger and cheaper. Or don't build at all!
Completely down to the way the club was run. Mismanagement.

I don’t like the look of it, looks totally unsuitable for football and more like an entertainment arena, which is what it is. I prefer ours, a purpose built football stadium any day of the week.

Everton Way is clear of the barriers.
All that needs to be done is finish off the Nelson Dock fence, clear away the protective mats and give it another jetwash (and maybe seal it).

I have been to a fair few US stadia down the years. They do not really compare easily with European football venues so are best judged on their own merits. The only ones I have truly enjoyed are the better baseball venues including Fenway (the closest thing to Goodison), Camden Yards and CitiField (which is a far better fan experience than Yankees stadium!). I am a Giants fan (family in NYNJ) but MetLife is awful. Atlanta is simultaneously over the top design and boringly corporatist. Dallas (Arlington!) is a temple to greed over practicality. Indianapolis is better outside than in. I quite like the new Minnesota stadium (US Bank) though and I’d like to visit SoFi and Allegiant to see if they live up to the price tags.

I much prefer the baseball stadia in many ways too. No interest in the game itself but there is a greater onus placed on intimacy in them (for obvious reasons), which is probably more inkeeping with how we see our football grounds. The whole evolution of stadium design is clearly laid bare across the full range of these places. From the often failed attempts to modernise with new multi-purpose cookie-cutters, to the whole retro-ballpark movement, and back to the few remaining old ballparks that still survive. Wrigley Field reminds me of Goodison in many ways, and is generally still rated top 3 and much higher than the far more modern White Sox stadium in the same city.

And close to half of that $1.6bn came from the government, because US sports owners are corporate welfare parasites who exploit people's emotions and use the threat of relocation to line their pockets with public money. Everton should be proud it didn't build one of the these.
that mercedes benz stadium is insane.
Look at the way the roof opens.
The whole thing is spectacular IMO!

Just been past Sandhills. The place I mentioned that had been getting work on is nearly complete, it’s a two story set of steps.
More space to queue I guess, tried me best to mark it. I think the work they are doing directly opposite to it is to extend it to … queue.

Stadiums in the US have a very short lifespan. I suppose when owners are putting pressure on the city they are based in to provide a venue for them to play at you can afford a new stadium every 30 or so years. Over here we think of our home ground as very much part of the club and expect to stay long term. Every new US stadium looks to outdo the last big stadium just to grab attention rather than be the best it can be for regular fans.

The technology is impressive. However for me it’s an eyesore, our new home will stand the test of time and fits in with where it is and what is likely to come to the area in the future.
