New Everton Stadium

[nsno-chris]

Full on designs are a good way off I'd say. Whenever planning permission is sought - I'd say early next year as a realistic point for that - then we'll see designs.

The concept design will be made available; but with regards to everything else, I'd say you're correct

 

[Lanolin]

Agreed. It's like making a footy stadium out of Battersea Power Station. Dodge.

I'm sure Chelsea were considering doing that at one point. When I say sure, I mean have a vague recollection.

No no no no. Each to their own. But it's an example of how to consider the environment and history of what and importantly where you are building. No unoriginal bowl, or metal monstrosity. The look is rather industrial granted, and it needs to look more like a 'Stadium' on the outside. But I do like the Lucas Oil stadium.

Like I said, I hope it's just inspiration, more so how it merges with the surroundings rather than saying 'yeah just copt that'.

We could do it on the cheap too. Knock down Stanley Dock and use all the bricks.

I agree, that design would probably fit in better with the current architecture in the docks area. But remember Peel have plans to make that area into more of a Dubai type skyline, so it would then probably look out of place. I'd like something more modern, original and stand out. Something to get the red half jealous. Don't know what that would be like. I wouldn't particularly be against a bowl shape from the outside as this tends to be more aesthetic, provided it's more traditional on the inside with the fans close to the pitch to ensure the right atmosphere.

If his stadiums are as embarrassing as his tweets it'll be a shed.

He sounds like a hippy. All talk about 'inner city stadia flowing into the urban landscape where it merges to make a glorious communal space...'.

'kin ell. Just build a friggin stadium with 4 sides to it.

We should be going with Herzog.

Like Kirkby

 

[boris]

I think we're definitely getting designs and knowing the ITK from the Everton forum who posted it, I assume it's definitely paid for already as he has stated.

Like Kirkby

Good god. Just imagine......

 

[koolblue77]

I hope they put a big outlet on it that dyes the Mersey royal blue when we're at home, just to add to their fume lol

The outside of Chelsea's new stadium looks absolutely incredible in my opinion. It's a proper marmite one tho, I reckon many people hate it.

I have a feeling ours will be similar to Roma's new one.

 

[Straq]

Ok, maybe you haven't, but at the risk of being told "we've all seen these!".........
Can you imagine Rogers Moan-in on Thursday from the unspeakable a if its like this

[billytoffee]

I've booked the day off on Thursday just in case.

You got your mates hiding in the bushes around USM FF for this one????

Yeah, I like Chelsea's as well.
I just want plenty of brick on ours. Probably unlikely due to more cost though.

I'm not just singling you out here Friend because it gets mentioned quite a lot by other posters, but honestly, that Lucas Oil stadium is an utter monstrosity, one of the ugliest things I've ever seen, it's like someone's lashed a footy pitch and seats in the heritage market.

Swerve that.

Horrific isn't it, looks like the Guinness Brewery from the outside. I think people love it because it makes them feel like new age hipsters to say they do.

I have a sneaky feeling there may be a bit more steel than bricks involved.

Cladding then......?
