New Everton Stadium

'Iconic' is going to be the most apt description of our new stadium.

It will become an iconic building, let alone stadium in its own right. It will provide the city and the club the sort of identity the Sydney Opera House provides Sydney.

Over egging the pudding springs to mind.

Yeah it just suits Goodison. One of the first things I noticed on my first visit and still visualise it when Goodison is mentioned.
I like the fact that Dan Meis has given us some clues to the design.
Gives me a good feeling that we're not just going to get a stock/soulless stadium.

Yeah totally agree, all the noises coming out of that design house are positive. Coupled with what Esk is saying this could be sensational.

What you say about Goodison is bang on....every single EFC legend has been pictured in action with the Leitch in the background. You just know it's Goodison instantly.

Oooh. I can't wait to see their little faces.

Never noticed sorry, I go all the way to the buffers at Limey.

I've been thinking about the latticework. As iconic as it is, and as much as I love it, would it suit a modern stadium?
Obviously it will have a modern take on it but I just can't see how it would fit in.
Saying that, there's more artistic brains than mine on the case so I'll have to wait and see..would love some brickwork though.

The Leitch lattice work could be used around the exterior of the stadium, like whats been done at the Stadio Della Roma.

I think you're right to be optimistic, but tend to agree with this lot:

Unless you are privy to the stadium design I'm at a loss how you can make such a statement.

He seems to post educated guesses quite a lot

They are the words of someone very much part of the process

I'm bored of waiting for this to be announced now.

Sorry mate, as much as you're a very respected member of the forum, I'm gonna take what you say with a pinch of salt after the debacle of last summer's transfer window predictions.

Not that you'll be one bit arsed about my opinion

The Mr. Testicles Arena?

I really hope that the latticework is retained, it is a great way of linking the old with the new. It would be interesting to see what a modern take on it would look like.
