New Everton Stadium

Peraps like me you were blown away by the fantastic images of Tottenham's new stadium which came out recently. I have thought for a long time that the stadium should incorporate alternative usages. Here's a few suggestions. I'd be interested to see what other people thought:
1. Perhaps most importantly I have thought that the stadium should incorporate a pedestrian track at roof level around the circumference of the stadium, allowing views across the City, the river estuary out to the West, across the Mersey to the Wirral (and on a good day North Wales), up towards Southport/Fylde coast. Access to the track could be gained by a curving walkway up the side of the stadium. For me it would be an iconic tourist attraction. If you haven't been to the Eiffel Tower then you should go. A magnificent memorable moment in your life. And what does it involve in terms of an individual's experience? It is walking up innumerable steps and gaining an unfolding magestic view of the city of Paris. A physical experience you never forget. Imagine that as a tourist attraction for the City of Liverpool. The Eiffel Tower is one of the greatest tourist attractions in the world, the symbol of a city. Perhaps the stadium could be the same for the City of Liverpool (and give immortality for the architect as it did for Monsieur Eiffel).
2. A running track on the actual roof which is part of a fitness club / centre. Where else in the world could there be such a track with the views it could afford? Perhaps a separate route could be built curving up the side of the stadium for the use of anyone. Imagine living in a flat at Liverpool Waters and going out for a run, up the side of the stadium and around the track at roof level. If there is a fitness club It could include windows looking out across the Mersey - nothing more boring than running on a treadmill, but doing it with a view of the river?
3. A restaurant built into the stadium at a high level looking out to the mouth of the estuary with huge windows providing a panoramic view. The sun goes down in the West, perhaps it could be called the 'Window on the West' - (a small nod to Tolkein there). It could include reference to America in particular as so many of the settlers in America left from the city of Liverpool. And a reference to Ireland where it wiĺl look towards.
4. A hotel - surely this is an obvious inclusion in the design. Liverpool has a shortage of top clas hotels. It could include viewing rooms looking into the stadium on match days, access to a walkway around the stadium when matches are not being played, a restaurant with windows on one side looking into the stadium and on the other side windows looking out on the river - not a bad place to have your breakfast I would imagine.
5. Off the wall idea here, literally - as a fan of climbing walls a climbing centre could be incorporated enclosed within the structure. The problem with climbing centres is finding buildings with sufficient height. No such problem with a stadium.
6. A swimming centre - I was thinking of a fun swimming centre with high speed slides - again the height of the building gives great scope for an inventive designer.
Just a few ideas for people to think about - if anyone has other ideas then perhaps put them forward. You never know, possibly someone from the architect's firm may just see one and take it on board.

Good video. Agree about integrating the stadium to the area for every day usage (restaurants, bars, hotels etc). If it's possible for Everton to be making money daily via different routes, then it's imperative Mr Moshiri goes this way.

Surely this will also be the aim of the Peel as they'll want the stadium to contribute to their macro-plan rather than be a micro element.

Lots of restaurants, hotels, bars and other amenities could support the match day experience but would equally benefit from it financially.

Also if the stadium ends up being versatile, say large concerts that the Echo Arena can't hold or conferences, then it would further support the club.

As long as Everton get a share of the pie, I'm happy ;)

So it's basically Alton Towers with a footy pitch then?

7. A pitch.. on the roof


Jokes aside I think a walkway and river facing restaurants will be the way forward.
