It's utterly stupid that Everton and Liverpool don't get together and build a really spectacular massive stadium to share. Shared stadiums work perfectly well in other countries.

Thankfully, most football fans disagree with you. It’s not about “Working well” as you put it.

I think that's looks quite good, certainly not identikit or flatpack like the Southampton / Leicester / Boro generation of stadiums.
Might try and get a trip to the Raiders stadium once it's all done, but you simply can't compare English football grounds to the American stadium porn mention previously that costs billions of dollars to construct.

Completely agree.
Unfortunately I wouldn't rule out the idiot faction that still exists in football despite the corporisation (is that a word? Should be, you must know what I mean by it) of the modern game would become obsessed with graffiti on as much of the stadium as they could get to, so that they can tag the place as theirs and not the team (presumably a major rival) they share the stadium with.
There is no good reason why it can't be done, except how the fans in this country would react to it.
Lol. Think you posted this in the wrong place mate, try the Tory Party thread.

And probably paid for by the tax payer. And when it's no longer the best stadium in the country in a decade, no doubt the team will threaten to skip town again unless they build a better one. That's how it works in America.

Whatever they build I hope there's more leg room

It would be quite something if there was less. Well, I suppose it would mean they have rebuilt Anfield.

That doesn't mean they're right though.

Can't say I'm blown away by it tbh. A fairly generic modern stadium design, not particularly imaginative. I'm filing it under 'meh'.
Au contraire @East10 I like the glass roof although it won’t stay blue for long [unless guano is not a Liverpool issue...] and I love the brick facade.
Reminds me of the Genoa/Sampdoria stadium or Ibrox.
Inside yes it’s generic as hell but what are you gonna do?!

The fact it reminds you of a couple of very old stadiums speaks for itself. The design is quite generic and functional, nothing special or groundbreaking.
[MENTION=272]Gritt23[/MENTION] has given some examples of what CAN be achieved when stadium designers think outside the box a bit. We rarely seem to do that in this country though (the Spurs one perhaps being an exception, but then you'd hope so as well for a billion quid).

Hmm maybe I’m just a traditionalist but I’d rather see bricks and mortar integrated with steel and glass over the cheap steel and corrugated plastic examples of the last 20 years.
The setting of this one in the docks is pretty cool as well. At least it’s not out of town.
I get recent stadium additions in the US have been incredible but they get huge local gov subsidies and much bigger corporate sponsorship deals and can therefore support the average build cost of c$1bln.
Football infrastructure spend in this country is bobbins by comparison.

From what I've heard, the ground sharing in Italy began the demise of Italian football and the beginning of half empty stadiums. Plus it kills the rivalry between the 2 ground sharing clubs

There's also an abundance of land in the US. Most cities here don't have the space for some of the colossal stadiums you'd see over in the States. Not without bulldozing a bunch of houses. Or moving the stadium miles out of town.

Evertons new ground is having a huge one tier stand behind the goal. The above pic angle is from that stand.

With both city and conurbation local authorities combining to raise local taxes, to part fund their new stadia and indoor arenas. Very common in Canada and the US.

Sadly I remember being jealous of Millwall’s new stadium when we were in exile at Gillingham. Love how we are dissing other clubs stadiums these days
