New Everton Stadium

It does look like a large unused space, but that's not unusual for an end stand. They probably also want to see how demand pans out for the existing corporate capacity. If it far exceeds that capacity they may want to insert some corporate-lite lounge space in the first few central rows of the upper section and possibly a small mezz deck extension to the GA concourse to compensate. However, I think the design brief for this end is centred around general admission only, to put as big a volume of the more vociferous fans under one roof at that end.

Interesting. As noted, it does look like a huge space just doing nothing. Is there scope for doing something similar with the east and west stands, too?

Fair play to him for getting the drone up in that weather. For some reason, he reminds me of the 'Shipping Forecast' episode of Black Books.

It's not there as that would add a large amount of expense, the concourse is big enough for the 6.5k or so that will be in that upper stand so would be overkill creating more. The west stand overlooking the river is where the swanky restaurant will be and remember that area has the corner windows which will allow you to look back at the city.

Yeah, my point was really less about having more concourse space for a largely general admission stand like the south stand is designed for, and more about utilising the enormous space with potentially the greatest view. The view of the mersey is just that, a river and the coast line of the wirral.

The view from the concourse of the south stand is of the city, the 3 graces, the titanic, and what will hopefully be the new Central park, as well as Nelson Dock and its surroundings, and whatever else is planned in that particular area. The space above is a greater elevation, and the space is enormous. If the concourse is capable of holding 6.5k, you can only imagine what could fit in the space above it, which would lend itself greatly to corporate hospitality, pitched at whatever level you desire.

The majority of the other corporate lounges overlook the pitch or the river, but take up seating that is within the main body seating of the east and west stands rather than separate, isolated boxes as in other grounds. This space could be corporate space for people in the east, west or indeed, south stand, given the proposed interconectivity of the adjacent stands, or even separate space for, as i say, conferencing or even acccomodation for extra-extra exclusive packages. All with a different unique view.

The south stand concourse can remain separate and as is, that will be great in its own right.

I don't expect that view to be particularly spectacular. The Peel proposals are just more of the same in terms of mid-to-high rise residential development which will obscure the view of the city centre. the central park is not likely to have a major visual impact based on the renders we have seen. I expect the stadium to be the stand-out feature from an architectural perspective. For me the river view is by far the most attractive outlook from the stadium.

The roof of the south stand concourse (upper) has a fall towards the back. They would struggle to build any corporate facilities in there without it looking like a rubbish botched job imo

Could anyone point me to the place where the Anthony Gordon statue will be situated? I would like to leave my flowers and messages of thanks somewhere when I am able to witness a game at this tremendous new ground.

Wonder if they'll put these in the stadium ?

There might be views in that direction from the southern ends of the east and west stands. Not sure that there'll be a clear view of the graces, other than possibly the top of the Liver building.
