New Everton Stadium

[Spadge Vernacular]

It looks like it will be a thing of beauty.

I think the top of the roof (material coming out of shipping containers) is different from.what will be used on the visible side curves (whatever they are called). But the sides i expect to be a different 'shiny' material.

I think this is correct. The standing seam roof on top will look different from the barrel edges which are I believe shinier and perforated.

Fourteen months till the new stadium is complete? 14 months ago we lost at home to Chelsea 0-1
First game of the season time is flying we will Soon be in the new ground & new beginning

Yes, that’s exactly it. I don’t think it fits.

I even asked Meis if he’d have a look at improving it when he came back onto the project… unsurprisingly no response, though!

I have to say I did prefer the brutalism of the facade without the stepped add-on. Think it was added to mitigate the wind though means the ground entrance will now be in perma darkness.

Having watched the recent video of the stadium I think it looks amazing. One thing I would point out though is that the facade to the West stand to me far outshines the East stand which is a pity as for most of us most of the time the East stand is what we will see

It did look quite different initially, I think the heritage lobbies forced the move to a more plain exterior.

Interesting to see how things develop

I wonder how many bottles of all purpose cleaner from home & bargains is going to be required to keep it shiny?

Good time to start power wash company up

It’s not brick clad, that’s for sure.

The renders make it look like it’s bare concrete. Let’s hope it is granite, but I’m not convinced.

Honestly, I hope you’re right and I’m wrong.

What about using some of the seats from the main stand.

I love the way you can see the roof structure through the perforated edges of the roof panels, I've never noticed that before and I think it looks boss.

When I see the video, methinks no wonder it is coasting an arm and a leg. This will be the most modern and beautiful stadium in the UK.

It will host many big matches in the future of Internationals, Euros and World Cups.

At least in that pic they realised the pitch didn't fit inside the stadium so lobbed it on the fan plaza instead.

Whatever's used is going to have to be able withstand a lot of sun weathering, direct and reflected.

Love the render where people are wearing winter coats, gives the impression of a chilly evening at the footie. Then there's some random young lad in his shorts and tee shirt

You dont need a source, the facts are there to be seen / read for yourself.

So it's an opinion, then. Fair enough. I was just asking.

Impossible, redeveloping existing stands is both quicker and cheaper. This has been documented many times in the worlds leading reference papers* by the leading subject matter experts on the topic

Yes, practically always cheaper. Often very much so. LFC got to 54k for £74m (£114m project cost). We're spending ten times that much (£750m) to get to 52k with less than one third the number of high-end box seats and roughly half the total corporate. That glaring disparity will only widen with their new stand.

"Quickness" simply depends on number of phases and how many people you put on the job. If they had done both phases at once with the bigger original contractor, they could've finished at the same time as the mainstand (which took just over 600 days)..... and of course it also depends on if or not the club or the builder goes bankcrupt/out of existence in the process. The builder going under is inconvenient, the club going under is a tad more catastrophic imo.
