New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

It'll be the best ground in the championship

Why will it?

The amount of exposure it will receive being on the waterfront and part of a wide regeneration project.

Being on a waterfront will not come into the equation when it comes to sponsors.

Dull, boring and instantly forgettable.

I don’t like the ring of corporate boxes all the way around but I would probably take the San Mames in blue if offered. It has good steepness and pitch proximity

I think being on the waterfront would be a lot more desirable for sponsorship than if we were to build in Stonebridge for example.

If you were in the sales team of Everton that would be a major potential advantage, and if you were competent at your job should be the sort of thing you could turn to your advantage. I am not sure we have those people involved currently though.

^^ Yeah, it looks stupid from the aerial renders. Ground level looks much better, definitely unique and pretty amazing architecturally, not sure I like it completely though. It's a bit....dour (pic below).

Anyway, posted that article for context really. Chelsea have got on board starchitects H&dM whose designs will always cost a bomb (and the club are apparently looking to buy a brickworks to guarantee the supply of bricks needed for the exterior ). We've gone somewhere down the middle with Populous (high quality but nothing that's going to shatter the mould), whilst in Meis you've got someone who insists modern stadiums cost too much and are too bloated so would maybe expect something lightweight, minimalist but still high quality when the designs are shown. But that's what he's up against.

Three new c60k stadiums, three different approaches (four if you throw in West Ham's athletics jobby). I hope Chelsea's costs don't spiral anymore though, that'd be a real shame.

looks like the front cover of a crap 60's sci fi novel

Not if we are still in the league it won't be.

It will be a sad day to see Goodison go. It's all about moving forward though, I suppose.

Don’t suppose you saw a massive 60,000 seater football stadium?
