Evertonians who want something extra as part of the matchday experience at the club’s new stadium can immerse themselves in the latest phase of the club’s ‘ALL’ concept called Dock on 1.
When Dan Meis, the architect for Everton Stadium, spoke to the ECHO back in 2019 about his designs for the project on the banks of the Mersey at Bramley-Moore Dock, he declared: “There has always been that mentality that we’re not building a Bentley, we’re building a Ferrari. It’s going to be new and have amenities but it’s a performance building, it’s a proper football ground.”
Having been fortunate enough to have both attended matches at Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium – the closest Premier League equivalent to the Blues’ future 52,888=capacity home – and been given an extensive behind-the-scenes tour that lasted for several hours, this correspondent can attest what a magnificent facility it is. There’s arguably not a sports venue to match it this side of the Atlantic Ocean but even though there never ended up being the infamous ‘cheese room’ that Meis kicked up a stink about and vowed would never be replicated in his own renderings, it’s an opulent ground that suits Spurs and their requirements within the richest city in Europe.
