New steelwork has emerged at the south end of Everton’s new stadium that will eventually form the largest single tier stand in the city. The shape of the stadium bowl on the waterfront development at Bramley-Moore Dock where Everton remain on schedule to move in during the 2024/25 season, is growing ever clearer, as can be seen from this week’s revealing drone video shots of the site.
The fresh latticework of steelwork rising adjacent to the south west core, along with a similar build expected to start soon in the south east corner, will next month connect to a third, larger steel structure that is currently spreading outwards from the centre of the one-tier south stand.
This ‘home end’, which architect Dan Meis revealed in 2018 was inspired by Borussia Dortmund’s iconic ‘Yellow Wall’ at the Bundesliga side’s Westfalenstadion will eventually house approximately 13,000 Evertonians and for context, The Kop at Anfield, holds 12,409 with 52 disabled positions although Tottenham Hotspur’s 17,500 capacity South Stand, constructed with 7,217 tonnes of steel, is the largest of its kind in the UK.
