New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[PhilM]

They are turning the WiFi on!

There is 5G integration too, so there should not be an issue with getting a signal, or at least much less of one.

So you can't buy merchandise before a game then ? Make it make sense Everton.

The transparent bags from the shop will be fine; this is a policy about bringing your own bags (backpack etc.) to the game.

How are the lights here different from the ones in the image of Dan Meis posted a couple pages back? What am I missing?

Same. I think people don't realise his model is literally completely white plastic so lights will always look more prominent.

Can't see why you can't bring a reasonably sized bag as long as you're prepared to have it searched.

They REALLY meant it didn't they? Up to now I was kind of hoping that while we have to reluctantly accept it will be called the Hill Dickinson, it would in practice be rather understated compared to the original images, but nope that lettering is plastered BIG all over the thing. Squint and you'll make out an Everton logo.

Everyone calls arsenals stadium the emirates, one thing that does impact the Everton identity at Hill Dickinson is that we've gone for a design which is generous to the area, the brick cladding.

Arsenal at the emirates have plenty of glass space round the stadium so are able to put up a lot of Arsenal stuff like the legends wall.

Only place we could do that really is the south stand window, but I think it will look tacky apart from a complimenting Everton badge either side of the HD logo.

The white stanchions behind the Hill Dickinson sign, will they be painted black?

They stick out too much

Looks like the LED screens have been fitted on the stands now

Anyone else seeing ads for the RS kit on here?

They stick out too much

I suspect they will be barely visible once complete and illuminated.
A lot of the images are from a funny angle so the supports at 45deg to letter brackets looks more apparent than I think (hope) they will be.
Highly doubt they will be painted after the lettering goes up, and I’m fairly confident the designers know what they’re doing!

 

[WelshBlue92]

Yes, I think it needs to be addressed

Quite an easy fix I guess so I assume it'll get done in the near future if deemed necessary - I'm guessing it lights up anyway so at night you wont notice the supports behind.

Were you around for Peter Reid and Andy Gray?

Yes.

But most gambles dont come off.

Even straight on it looks a bit like spaghetti.

Night time won't be an issue when all lit up and to be fair the thicker Hill Dickinson letters look like they won't have the same issue as the stadium wording during the day.

I think they will have to do something about painting the fixings of that part.

because not everyone drinks fizzy lager perhaps?

exactly, and not everyone drinks flat lager, so yoy can never please everyone

Can't see why you can't bring a reasonably sized bag as long as you're prepared to have it searched.

Does that mean ladies also cannot bring their handbags? Can't see that.

Well, I don't think both parts of that sentence can be true.
