New Everton Stadium

The inside does look rather generic. It will look better with electronic advertising and a full crowd.

It's the outside that makes this what it is. That's why I hope they can still do something with the barrel lighting and make the most of the plaza and western terrace which will at the least be enhanced further through the customisation process.

With an appropriate dash of colour here and there, the Everton branding, and (hopefully) an enhancement to the lighting, it should and will look truly magnificent in a fantastic setting.

Spurs stadium does look impressive from the inside, empty or packed. I think ours looks far better from the outside which is more defining for a stadium imo, and can look better again which everything is completed.

The important part that we all need to consider is that Spurs stadium cost significantly more than ours, and they spent less on foundations and land preparation etc.

Put simply, their stadium is so impressive because of how much they’ve spent on it.

I think a lot of people fail to appreciate/ understand just how much building on the dock would have impacted the cost. I've not got exact figures but it will have been a substantial amount. It's not just the actual infilling to consider, it's all the associated costs that go along with it and the marine environment.

I've seen people in here try to compare the stadium costs with others built in different parts of the world, suggesting we've somehow been ripped off but they are failing to appreciate the sheer amount of money we will have spent below ground that no-one gets to see.

Didn’t they initially say it was something like £100m to turn it from a dock into a piece of land that could be built on? And I suspect that cost got inflated by at least 30-40% like the rest of the build.

Its not just the money they spent on it but some of the features they have included. Removable pitch, first in England. The fan view area in the tunnel, first in England. The massive stand alone single tier home end.
We have the home end and the fan viewing area int the tunnel, but we used to be a club that did things first and other clubs followed our lead, now we are taking ideas from other stadiums, and maybe the fact some of the standout features at BMD are already at other grounds takes away a bit of the wow factor for some people.

It was something like £200m for the infilling and sub-structure. Then there would have been additional costs associated with suspending all the below ground drainage and utilities within the footprint of the dock due to the settlement issue.

If I'd had to hazard a guess I'd say we've spent a good £300m below ground; if not more.

On top of that a lot of things will have had an enhanced specification due to the marine environment such as the exposed steelwork, cladding etc. This will have inflated costs further.

We've also preserved and restored loads of heritage assets such as the railway, dock wall, Engine House etc.
