New Everton Stadium

It just won't do.

That roof has to be completely lit up. Maybe not completely royal blue, but a subtle shading upward from deeper blue to lighter blue going from the lip of the roof toward the top.

That gas hob effect is not announcing the stadium to the world. Anyone settling for it is missing a massive part of the reason for doing a new build down there in the first place.
Unless they attach 2 metre poles sticking out with lights on the end (just like the bottom of the curved arch at the north and south) all the way along the top of the stadium to shine the lights back down, it will not be possible. Adding those lights along the top would look terrible.

There's too much of a curve for the lights at the bottom to reach the top, unless they move the lights further out, which again would look terrible.

From what I can see, only the bottom will be lit up.
 
Isn’t there a rule the club must abide by that they cannot disrupt the natural heritage of the place by installing garish/over the top lighting etc..?
I thought they had to keep that type of lighting to a minimum.

Looking at the lights closer up two questions spring to mind:

1/ are the lights retractable (able to move along those poles to create a different visual effect)?

2/ do the spotlights have various setting to them so that atm we're seeing a smaller area of the roof lit up with a spotlight effect at the bottom, and if the settings are turned up and the lamps tilted you get a wider and higher glow?

They can roll the turf down anytime they want - I doubt they would sow seed this time of year - we will not use the pitch till next May 2025 - joey66 former member of the Institute of Horticulture - @Tommy Chong -
Plus, the grass @tommye & @COYBL25 want laying will not look like this :lol: -

Love your commitment to the bit that they aren't planting seeds, Joey.



They're just rolling out a germination blanket for fun, of course.

1. I wouldn't have thought so as the lights on the roof rather are stationary.

2. They may be able to tilt and they should be able to play with the focus so they do not concentrate such a strong colour in a small area, but it is a big tall curve on the roof and they will not be able to cover the top, probably not half way up. As you can see from the image below, when you see the full height of the roof and the pole length.

Apparently the minimal blue coverage of the roof is intentional. New lighting is being installed that will cover the top part of the roof and the majority of the sides in a fetching "giallorossi" colour scheme of yellows and reds.

I don't quite get the reference, but apparently the Friedkins named as a major influence "some monumental cryarse who wouldn't shut up about us being in Roma's shadow and has since moved onto some other minor perceived slight to blow up as if it was the most important issue since time began." Make of that cryptic message what you will.

I do wonder why the lights weren't installed inside the barrel roof structure to give the whole thing a diffused blue glow. I know it wouldn't have illuminated the roof itself, as it would have only shone through the holes but not sure what the lights add to the building in their current setup.
