New Everton Stadium

[billytoffee]

I want the 4th grace. I want the 3rd cathedral. I want ten pillars on Goodison Approach to represent our 10 championships ( that's right, the old lady needs to see one more before we go). I want statues of Dixie, Young, the holy trinity and Hickson. I want a blue wall by the river emblazoned with the legend, "On the banks of the royal blue Mersey..."

I want a stadium that makes the delegates from Fifa and Uefa wet themselves with anticipation of getting their events staged. I want the stadium to be beautiful and be the standard against what every other stadium is measured against. I want the next Guggenheim to be positioned next to as nothing else is so architecturally avant-garde in the world.

I want it to catalyse the area and city just by being there in all its magnificence. I want the world to turn its eyes and gaze upon this marvellous new wonder and dream of seeing it in the flesh.

No pressure Mr Meis but nil satis nisi optimum.

Dread to think what your Christmas lists were like when you were a kid!!

Seems a legitimate ball park figure. In the link I posted it also mentions Atletico's new stadium can be adapted to have an athletics track- not that'd we want one for ourselves.

It's not a completely new build. The main stand is already in situ.

You forgot the most important piece
I want a capacity of 61878

You know what? I only want that as the minimum acceptable size.

 

[Brisan123]

Well it's either
61878
71878
81878

The last 2 may not be achievable

I chose to see the latter 2 options as 1st and 2nd stages of expansion.

Has there been any designs released? or any indication on how it will look?

to this...

Pretty cool stuff. I like the fact they integrated the old stand to give it some character.

In saying that though, I wouldn't want the new stadium looking like this. It needs to be something cutting edge, not off the shelf, in my opinion of course..

No mate, am sure if there was social media and GOT would be in complete melt down.

haha yeah good point mate.

Just think of when they changed the badge...!

It's quite surreal actually posting in an actual New stadium thread for us. any previous threads usually involved me posting a picture of a subbuteo stand with some sort of "Bill has it all in hand" caption..
