What a truly magnificent stadium. I haven't felt this in awe since I went to the old Wembley as a child for the very first time. Walking up the steps and seeing the pitch surrounded by the towering stands, unbelievable. It's so much higher and bigger than what I imagined. This place will be deafening with 53,000 inside and it will be intimidating that's for sure. I can't believe it to be honest, it's absolutely superb.

my seat. It was amazing to see in person. However, I am slightly concerned with how the controlled evacuation went but I am sure they will sort it out.

Phone reception was utter wank mate

The phone masts aren't installed yet, and there will be wifi.

Well my observations:

1. Had to tell the players to get off the pitch 2 times lol lol (adding that for fun)
2. The amount of exits in my section were 2 sets of double doors which didn't seem enough.
3.funelled by the dock wall getting out of the plaza..quite a bottle neck.
4. Stagging people going across the bridge due to weight restrictions.

Didn't seem good to me.. but I guess that's what these are for right?

For the evacuation did everyone have to leave the plaza and onto Regents Road aswel or was it just out of the stadium?

Unconfirmed reports saying it might have just been Brendan Rogers in the area

Had to leave the plaza as well. But not 100% if that was part of the test or not just what we had to do...

My opinion is outside the ground looks brilliant. Once inside its just like any other new stadium. Be hard for it to ever recreate the old lady atmosphere. Only hope it has is the extra supporters. Goodison was once the most up to date and best stadiums in the country. Then it went old and battered and now is iconic and again the best stadium in the prem.

Have you been inside?

If so, you really think it's like any other new stadium? Examples?

The only comparable one is Spurs.

Ah sound. Thought it was just to evacuate the main stadium building and people once outside could leave at their leisure. Defo can see how there be a big bottleneck with everyone having to leave at once

On the outside it looks incredible, really is magnificent, the inside just seemed a bit basic to me but it is just a football stadium with a pitch in the middle.

What do you expect to see from a football stadium?
The Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain.
