New Everton Stadium

[bring back the catt]

They got pubs in NORWAY ?!?!?

None that you could afford to drink in, even if you wished to.

Strange question mate, but does it look, if you have never seen it before, like a football/sports stadium, or like a massive warehouse?

Yes, and here's why.

Hinkle Fieldhouse

Lucas Oil Stadium

Now, YOU fill in the blank spot. This is worth a thousand words, I think.

Stadium. They will make a stadium, not a warehouse. It's not about the actual building, it's about tying the look of a very functional building to the roots of the local culture. I couldn't be more in agreement. You will need to look at the new stadium and see the roots of Everton.

An American basketball arena is much more like a real English football stadium than American football stadiums are. When Goodison rocks, it's like a bad night at Cameron Indoor Stadium for the visitors.

I cant help but agree. From sea level, on the docks, it looks more like a converted/tarted up warehouse than a football stadium. Or at least, it doesnt exactly "Wow!" you like you would expect.

 

[The Rhino]

Cant be doing with all the hipsters wanting stadiums that resemble an 18th century warehouse or metallic vulva. We want one similar to Bayerns but what has some form of blue illumination like 1860 Munich's but not a total copy.

 

[Azza]

It'll be up to the council to prefer a glass Allianz style stadium or a stadium e.g. brick clad that fits into the existing buildings on the docks.


Given Peels vision of the skyscrapers etc you would hope that either would be possible.

Unless they've been to planning with the heritage of surrounding buildings

West Ham's looks awful but any new ground we build will inevitably have the seats a bit further from the pitch than we are used to simply to observe guidelines to do with UEFA etc but nothing like what West Ham fans have got to get used to. You never see new grounds have the seats as close to the pitch as the likes of older ones at Goodison or Anfield.

There ground is awful, blow as many bubbles as you want to distract it but that distance between the pitch and stands is terrible. F@## it I want to stay at Goodison and bevy down County Rd until I die, sod the we need more match day revenue johnny-come-latelys, we make more than enough from TV revenue to continue on. What was said last season, we could afford to let everyone in free and still make dough. We live, die and watch football in a real historic stadium, not some plastic plaything, once it goes it will never come back, so please don't let it end COYB'S

@The Esk So the club have sorted the sponsorship deal for the new stadium ????

While it is undoubtedly an important consideration, the new stadium has got to be 4-5 years away, and so is probably item no.37 on the to do list.

 

[Modern07]

Lucas Oil Stadium is one of the best stadiums in the world.

If you wouldn't be happy with something like that there is something wrong with you - have a look at the pictures inside etc - unbelievable.

And I've been there so can talk from first hand experience

 

[Jb90efc]

I think we may be reading too much into the Lucas oil stadium comparison in terms of actual design. It may only be the roof and the glass view out towards the city / Mersey that would warrant the comparison.

You sure about that ?

Agree with that also. The building might be nice, but I don't view it as a stadium. I want a one off, one of a kind, spectacular, breathtaking stadium. All that on the banks of the royal blue Mersey. Want to be able to smell and feel the envy of the kopites even over here.
