New Everton Stadium Discussion

It's the one we are building, the 60k went higher again. There is a cross section a few pages back (prob like 40 now how quickly this gets added to!) showing the overlap of the 60k version to the above drawing.

Edit: Here it isView attachment 175368

when you see that picture you can start to understand why those extra seats weren't built, they will be a long way away and high up so, compared to the other seats, harder to sell. Hopefully we can squeeze 55k seats into the current footprint/roofline,

I don't think the viewing distance was the reason for the reduced size. The extra cost and the so called "sweetspot" economics of capacity/demand/construction-cost/ticket-pricing were almost certainly the key deciding factors. Several other clubs have more distant rows than those and have no problems filling them. They may have also felt that emergence of safe-standing will have built in some capacity flexibility for the future.

…25mins from Liverpool One to the site for Mrs Eggs and I yesterday. We’re active in our 60s, a very pleasant stroll.

10 minutes on one of those e scooters... There's going to be designated lanes all the way there

Is that some mega crane being delivered or mega crane offloading huge preassembled stadium elements?

Is that some mega crane being delivered or mega crane offloading huge preassembled stadium elements?

my guess would be the latter.

In the comments of the twitter post it's said they are these...

They hold up the roof.

 

[Onwards Evertonians]

They're ruining this sandpit.
