New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Good listen that. I know Dave hates him, but Dave hates everything and everyone so I suppose that's no qualifier, but I'm really glad that Meis designed the stadium. I like how thoughtful and invested he is in the building as not just a structure but as a community asset and as a social space. I didn't know about him losing his home to the LA wildfires as well, that's a real sickener for him.

I dont hate him. I just think he bought into the sentimental mush of a handful of 'heritage' fans who got in his head and told him that cramming as much of Goodison's iconography into the the new stadium and around its exterior was the wisest thing to do.

He's a designer/architect and had a blank canvas to work with but chose not to fully do that.

The roof of the new stadium is what gets him out of trouble, IMO. Just.

Basically though, he was weak and was mugged off by the tragical history tour bores who think they're better than other fans and the carrier of the torch of the club. They most definitely are not.
