New Everton Stadium


It's been done to death on here, i'm 100% convinced it won't block anyone's view, even more so now these virtual views are available. Some others would disagree.

The aisle seats adjacent to the wall have had to be removed from approx last 10 rows. That suggests that this was a similar oversight to those near the away section. As I said at the time, I couldn't remember seeing any similarly angled corner walls cutting across the line of sight of a lower raked stand (they were parallel to the goal line in the original Meis scheme), as it makes no sense to do it that way.

It does look better and more menacing with the swept back look, rather than parallel. That obviously comes with a few compromised seats though.

Surely it would look better and more menacing if it turned the corner fully, (ie bigger wrap-around safe-standing capacity, and with no views compromised). I don't think that was intentional....and those removed seats suggest an oversight.

The other option was for the lower corner section not to turn the corner into the side stands, but continue at that angle, till it blended more seamlessly into the lower raked stand. With a lower dividing wall providing unimpeded sightlines of the playing area (and the whole South stand) for those on the lower side-stands. Materially and structurally no more complex nor costly in the grand scheme.
