More than 7,500 seats now adorn Everton Stadium as the transformation of the Club’s new waterfront home continues.
The next tranche of blue seats are due to be installed later this week, dependent on weather conditions, with the ambition of having the entire upper tier ready by Christmas.
Meanwhile, the lower tiers of the two main stands continue to take shape, with west stand terracing now stretching as far as the halfway line, where the construction of the players’ tunnel can be seen for the first time.
Opposite, in the east stand, phase one of the ground floor slab has been poured, in readiness for the rakers and concrete terracing units to follow, along with the second slab at a later date.
Installation of the big screen is ongoing in the north stand roof, where 1,250 LED panels are slotted together to form the giant display. A second screen will be installed to the face of the south stand roof.
Initial Wi-Fi testing has also taken place, following on from localised signal ports being strategically placed around the entire bowl.
Externally, the lattice plank install is complete on the first level of the Western Terrace, on the southern half of the stand. The north will follow, once scaffolding used to access the upper levels has been removed.
Finally, the Fan Plaza is taking shape, with granite stones spreading underfoot as part of the overall 15,000m2 hard landscaping programme that includes the restoration of heritage assets dating back to the dock’s heyday.
Lighting columns of various heights and planter pits for trees and greenery have been installed, along with several bike storage shelters, adjacent to the boundary wall.
A series of concrete benches – each one proudly featuring the famous Archibald Leitch truss design made famous at Goodison Park – have also been delivered to site and installed in the plaza for supporters to enjoy.

Ex-Everton chief Keith Wyness has suggested the club’s “world-best” new stadium could help them break back into the Premier League’s top eight revenue earners.
The 66-year-old, who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs, claimed the Bramley-Moore ground could see the Toffees earn an extra “25%” in revenue.
The Merseysiders are set to follow in the footsteps of West Ham and Tottenham, who have seen their revenue increase since moving to new stadiums.
Everton’s last published accounts for the 2021-22 campaign showed they brought in a revenue of £181million, which was the 10th-highest figure in the Premier League.
But Wyness insisted further growth with the new stadium will only be possible if Everton, who have been deducted ten points for a Financial Fair Play rule breach, remain in the Premier League.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast, he said: “It’s chalk and cheese compared to West Ham’s London Stadium in terms of a quality football experience.
“That was a stadium built for athletics, the Everton stadium will be probably the best football ground in the world.
“The design is incredible, the architect has done a great job.
“I think there will be a significant uplift in revenue for Everton with the new stadium, of course – provided they’re in the Premier League.
“I think there could be an increase of 25%.
“That would keep Everton in the top eight revenue earners in the Premier League. Without it, staying at Goodison, you’re just going to fall further and further behind.
“This is important to keep Everton at the top level.”
