New Everton stadium Christmas aim as route to the bar and giant screens arrive
Seating at the new Everton stadium has now spread into the east stand with the delivery of double escalators and digital panels to make up two giant screens having also been made
Blue seats have now spread into the east stand of Everton Stadium and the contractors’ aim is to have the whole of the upper tier filled with seats by Christmas.
The whole of the upper tier of the north stand has been infilled, and work has spread to the east stand. This is the side of the club’s future home that will welcome spectators from the Regent Road (Dock Road) side of the site in a huge fan plaza larger than the Pier Head.
Work continues to prepare the lower tiers of both the west and east stands for the concrete terracing. The removal of the giant cranes, following the completion of the roofing structure, means that the lower tiers can now be completed, starting with concrete slabs being poured at ground level across the length of the stands.

Slabs will act as the foundations for concrete rakers, which will in turn support the double-stepped terracing units to complete the bowl. Externally, the western terrace continues to take shape, with the steel framework built to support the first level supporter walkway.
The south stand has taken delivery of double escalators, which will assist fans in reaching the second level concourse that hosts the full-length bar with dramatic views back across the city.
The first boxes containing digital panels that will make up the two giant screens have also arrived on site, ready for installation. Finally, the north west access tunnel is now in operational, as the primary vehicular route into the bowl, both now and once the stadium is complete.
