Overview

• Everton confirmed that Hill Dickinson Stadium will seat 52,769 spectators, a slight cut from the originally planned 52,888 following a thorough seating audit.
• The 119-seat reduction stems from adjustments to segregation lines and provisions for media facilities and camera positions.
• US architect Dan Meis argues the ‘right-sized’ stadium will boost atmosphere and revenue by keeping fans close to the pitch.
• The venue is projected to attract 1.4 million visitors annually, support 15,000 jobs and add £1.3 billion to the UK economy over its lifetime.
• After 133 years at Goodison Park, Everton Women’s team will make the former ground their permanent home.
