Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium has a maximum crowd capacity of 52,769, but where does it rank compared to the rest of the Premier League grounds?
Leaving Goodison Park was emotional, but it was a necessity if Everton wanted to become a European-challenging club.
The Hill Dickinson could generate an extra £40m-a-year in revenue, so the Toffees will be able to spend much more in transfer windows without the worry of breaking PSR rules.
Everton now have one of the best stadiums in the country, and it’s set to become a venue for the Euros in 2028.
With all that said, we’ve had a look at where the Hill Dickinson ranks in terms of size compared to the other 19 stadiums.
Everton now have one of the biggest stadiums in the Premier League
The Hill Dickinson has around 13,000 more seats than Goodison Park, and as such, Everton now boast the seventh biggest stadium in the Premier League.
It’s even bigger than Newcastle United’s St James’ Park, which is widely considered the toughest ground to play at in the division.
Everton have plans to expand the Hill Dickinson before 2028, and that will see the capacity increased to around 57,000.
If that materialises, that will put them above Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and just behind the Emirates.
Martin Tyler was blown away by Everton’s new stadium
Ian Wright shared his first impressions of Everton’s new stadium earlier this month, and so too did former Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler.
Speaking on the Joy of Football YouTube channel, Tyler was in awe of the architecture.
“The first impressions are pure 21st century, maybe beyond. The structure from a distance is mightily impressive, space-age style, and a huge contrast to the neighbouring streets and buildings, which reek of dockland history.
“I found that contrast working both ways, combining, admiring the eye-catching structure of the stadium with a wish to know more about the city of Liverpool, when it was one of the biggest and busiest ports in the world.”
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has also heaped praise on the Hill Dickinson, noting that the atmosphere helped Everton win the game.
That’s perhaps the most encouraging thing; the Toffees have been able to retain that Goodison Park atmosphere.
