Hill Dickinson Stadium is being constructed on the site of Bramley-Moore Dock in North Liverpool. The site for the new stadium is around two miles away from the Club's current Goodison Park home and just under 1.5 miles from the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool City Centre.
Everton received planning approval from Liverpool City Council in February 2020 and formally broke ground at Bramley-Moore Dock in August 2021. The stadium will be completed in late 2024, with test events to follow early in 2025, ahead of the first competitive fixture taking place in August 2025.
The Club is currently working to a capacity of 52,888, the exact and final figure will be confirmed in due course.
A number of public spaces have been created around the stadium to ensure the best experience for fans and visitors to Everton's new home. The Plaza, a space the same size as the city's St George's Hall plaza, could accommodate more than 9,000 people and will be the focus for pre-and post-match outdoor entertainment and activity. Hill Dickinson Stadium will also host a range of traditional pubs, bars, high-street style restaurants and fine-dining spaces, offering pre-and-post-game facilities on matchday. Further information on bars, restaurants and experiences can be found by clicking visiting the 'ALL Experiences' section of this website via the link at the top of the page.
While the stadium is first and foremost a football stadium, there will be an opportunity to host other events. This could be anything from outdoor concerts featuring international recording artists and other major sporting events to large conferences and small community meetings. The area set aside for The Plaza, behind the East Stand, and the stepped terrace behind the West Stand, will also both lend themselves to different outdoor year-round uses.
Everton intends to harness the unique features of the dock location to create the most environmentally friendly and sustainable stadium in the Premier League; A stadium which is environmentally efficient in design, construction and operation.
Extensive work has been carried out with our construction partners, Laing O’Rourke, to ensure we minimise our carbon footprint throughout the construction period and beyond.
A range of environmental issues have been implemented,, including: carrying out extensive ecological surveys; ensuring marine life in the dock was removed before emptying the dock of water; ensuring the stadium has excellent noise insulation so residents and businesses nearby are not affected by crowd noise; putting in place flood mitigation measures to protect the stadium and surrounding area; ensuring sympathetic lighting treatments which showcase heritage and architectural features, but do not cause undue light pollution and monitoring air quality during and after construction.
In-stadium measures include; generating electricity from solar panels; installing a water source heat pump; harvesting rainwater for use in toilets and the provision of charging facilities in the car park for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Yes, The stadium is 'future-proofed' to enable the introduction of safe-standing which, should Government legislation change on the ratio of one person standing to one seat, could allow the Club to increase the capacity further.
The lower section of the south stand will incorporate safe standing for home fans, with rail seating in place. The lower tier in the north east corner will also include safe standing, for visiting supporters.
The south stand will appear as one continuous rising tier to supporters inside the stadium. However, it has been cleverly designed with a dividing, vertical wall, known as a ‘super riser’ half way up. This means that fans in the lower, safe standing area will not compromise the views of those sitting in the sections above the riser. In addition, there are upper and lower vomitories, for better ingress and egress and to avoid the need for fans are the top of the stand to have to climb all the way from the lower concourse.
Hill Dickinson Stadium was designed to have all four stands look slightly differently, in a nod to the older stadiums. The site is also constricted by a site boundary, particularly in the north.
Very efficient. Some of this is driven around some clear regulations on all aspects of the energy requirements of the building, but there is also a very specific and wide-ranging programme covering sustainability.
Yes. Lifts and escalators will be incorporated into various locations within the Stadium.
Yes. From the very first planning, the stadium and pitch level was determined following historical data on where water levels are and predicted levels advised by the Environment Agency, taking climate change into consideration.
The new stadium has been designed to accommodate more supporters and more families.
Everton Stadium is easily accessible through public transport. It is anticipated that the majority of supporters will use public transport to attend games and other events at the stadium.
Regular shuttle busses will run from Liverpool City Centre and Bootle Town Centre direct to Everton Stadium.
Sandhills Train Station is in proximity to the stadium and connects to Liverpool city centre stations, Southport, Ormskirk, Kirkby and south Liverpool. The Club is working with Merseyrail in discussing upgrading Sandhills Station, to cater for the expected rise in passengers on matchdays.
There will also be dedicated taxi ranks at the stadium and dedicated parking for fan coaches.
The stadium is also within walking distance of Liverpool City Centre.
Club officials will continue working with Merseytravel and other independent transport providers to maximise efficient travel options to and from Everton Stadium.
More information on parking will be made available ahead of Everton Stadium opening for matches and events in summer 2025. However, parking at the stadium site will be limited.
Working with Liverpool City Council, the Club will establish parking restrictions to prevent parking on local streets which would negatively affect residents and businesses. Private parking facilitated by licensed operators will be created in the local vicinity.
Visitors on non-match days would be encouraged to use public transport where possible but will also have the option of using the dedicated car parking facilities at the stadium.
Available on-site parking will include charging bays for electric vehicles.
The location of Blue Badge parking is still to be confirmed. However, the current process in place for requesting/allocating Blue Badge car park spaces at Goodison Park will remain the same for Everton Stadium.
Due to legislative restrictions, there will be no ferry station at Everton Stadium. However, the existing ferry services can be used, and is a short, direct walk from the pier head to Everton Stadium.
Everton has committed to delivering the most inclusive stadium in the Premier League, with at least one Changing Places facility in every stand, the most wheelchair bays in the Premier League at different levels in all areas of the stadium.
Throughout the consultation phases, the Club's plans for inclusivity were praised by both Everton Disabled Supporters Association (EDSA) and Corporate Access Forum (CAF) with Liverpool City Council's Accessibility Officer reviewing the plans. Conversations with the Club's and football's disability fan and inclusivity groups will continue throughout the build process.
