New Everton Stadium

[matty1878]

Why was it not possible to do this with our roof?

I mean, it's so right - and the gas hob so wrong - it's not even worth debating.

How on earth could they have thought that that present anaemic lighting scheme would be an appropriate crowning glory for our new stadium?

never happy dave

Good to see that major construction project are another thing you have absolutely no clue about, yet sound off at every opportunity.

Meis has been a poor choice for a designer. There's no question about that.

Not really Dave. You can't please everyone with this type of thing, however if you were to do a poll, the majority would say they are happy enough with his design and the outcome.

Not officially but I don’t reckon anything higher than 2,500

Even by your standards this is a ridiculous comment.
Before saying anything, you need to ask yourself ‘do I have the right to an opinion about this?’
Unless you’ve a *proven* career as a construction design engineer or sports stadium architect you truly don’t. You seriously need to stop thinking you can opine on areas that are far beyond you. It’s embarrassing.

Dixie Dean was a poor goal scorer. There's no question about that.

Those lights will have lenses to make the light less focussed, and will be adjustable.
LOR will just make sure they are working, etc. Everton can fettle with them whenever they want.

Stalin was a great dictator and socialist. There's no question about that.

I'm no fan of the hob effect, but do you really want our new stadium to look like Santa's grotto?

We give enough presents away as it is...

You talk absolute plums on a regular basis.

There’s no question about that.

I would be interested to know who had final say on that light arrangement. Get a brill stadium, then someone goes ‘yeah that looks cool’ …unbelievable.

Overall the outcome is very good, just short of miraculous. I never believed this club could pull that stadium off...especially at a site like that.

It's in the eye of the beholder on the design...I can even change my view of it from week to week: when you're at the site its sheer scale is breathtaking - something you dont get off videos and still images from any angle. The design is almost secondary when you see it at near distance. You're too busy being gobsmacked by the scale and therefore anything looks great.

Other times I look at it and I see a huge leisure centre with a futuristic roof...especially at the north and south stands.

It's why I get so het up about the lighting. IMO we need this to be absolutely spot on to maximise the stadium's visual statement.
