Hill Dickinson Stadium, Everton’s new home at Bramley-Moore Dock is shaping up to be one of the most significant developments in the club’s modern history. As the club prepares to move from Goodison Park to a purpose-built waterfront arena, this guide outlines what fans and visitors can expect in terms of seating options, transport connections and ticketing information.
Stadium Overview
Located on Liverpool’s historic docklands, the new Everton Stadium combines architectural ambition with heritage sensitivity. The capacity is expected to reach around 52,888, making it one of the largest club football grounds in the country. The stadium integrates modern features such as steep seating bowls for optimal sightlines and a striking brick façade that reflects the city’s industrial past.
Seating Guide
The stadium is designed to enhance atmosphere and spectator experience, with four distinct stands:
West Stand (Main Stand)
This is the largest stand, housing the majority of corporate hospitality suites, media facilities, and premium seating. Expect padded seats, larger legroom and the best midfield views.
East Stand
The family-friendly zone, offering a more affordable and welcoming environment. This stand also has designated accessible seating areas.
South Stand (Home End)
A single-tier, steep terrace designed to recreate the intensity of Goodison’s Gwladys Street End. It will likely become the new home of Everton’s most vocal support.
North Stand (Away End)
This section is reserved for visiting supporters, with good sightlines and separation from home fans.
Each stand has modern concourses, food and drink options, and step-free access in selected zones. Safe standing areas are also being incorporated in line with Premier League regulations.
