New Everton Stadium

The lighting on the stadium: it's like putting the Mona Lisa in a frame you order off amazon.

That needs sorting out ASAP. That cant be allowed to stand. It's an embarrassment.

Good Morning Lovely x

Start your day with a positive outlook mate.

Not healthy being so negative so early in the day.

Yep, we need some sort of Allianz Arena style

That's not going to be possible, will be lit up from the bottom and I'm sure they're still working on fine tuning with the stadium not finished yet

Genuinely do not understand how people can be so miserable and negative after watching the club's official Stadium Update video from yesterday. Looks breathtaking from all angles on that video.

Blues being Blues mate.

You mean it’s not logical to criticise a yet unfinished product?

Fairly criticising things is fine, obviously. But calling things like the lighting underneath the curved barrel an 'embarrassment' despite it 1) being something which the club are actively looking to perfect and 2) the site still not being finished anyway, is just plain ridiculous.

The disgust and indignation when Lukaku had his hair cut was huge so God only knows how people will recover over a few blue light bulbs.

To be fair though Dave, if you were looking for a fair comparison, the Mona Lisa likely wasn't even in a frame at this point of being painted.

Ask Ronald Koeman and his tree.

It is a spectacular product.

I think that none of us fully appreciate just yet how much this new stadium can affect the future of Everton FC.
When you look at the video the club put up yesterday I think you can see TFG and others were looking at buying the club.
Over time little teething issues will occur and they will be resolved. Overall it is without doubt the most significant development at Everton since I first started supporting the club 55 years ago.

Hearing the stadium naming rights have gone to Calor Kosangas.

It’s an environmentally-friendly deal with sustainability at its core as they intend to bottle the fume from the arena to power the stadium lighting requirements.

Don’t flame me.

Mate, these are the people who said the pitch wasn't going to fit in the stadium; there's nothing critical about their thinking at all, just stupidity.

Does anyone know what dimensions the pitch is/will be?

And how it compares to Goodison?

 

[PhilM]

Goodisons is 112m x 78m apparently.

105m x 68m I read, which is the standard. Goodison has always been a bit bigger, while Anfield is below the standard at 101m x 68m.

It'll be nice to see a flat pitch too, because the goal in the Park End is noticeably higher than the elevation of each corner flag. I suspect the Street End is too.
