Everton new stadium: Supporters set for boost as 'unique' feature to transform matchday

One of the biggest fanzone spaces in English football with the potential to hold 25,000 is set to revolutionise the matchday experience for spectators at Everton’s new stadium due to its “unique location.”

With the final 2023/24 fixture having been completed on Sunday, Everton are now preparing for their final season at Goodison Park before relocating to their future home on the banks of the Mersey next summer. It’s not just the 52,888 capacity stadium, which will include five-and-a-half thousand premium sales, that is going to be an economic game-changer for the Blues though but the grand entrance to the site at Bramley-Moore Dock.

While Everton are currently able to provide fanzone-style experiences at Goodison, Alix Waldron, the club’s principal lead for stadium development project management, explained that supporters will be met with a sea change in such offerings at the new facility. She told TheStadiumBusiness.com: “The space available will be the big difference.

“The club has utilised the limited room at Goodison to the best of our ability. However, the tight confines of Goodison Park mean that a large section of the car park has needed to be sectioned off for the several food outlets, which operate from mobile catering units.
