Over the course of the last week, Everton have allowed the media unprecedented access to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Up until now, Evertonians have only been able to assess the development through drone footage or imagery from afar.

Videos of what the Toffees’ home dressing room will look like have emerged, along with further information on how the stadium’s atmosphere will be generated.

An in-depth report from iNews also provided detailed information about hospitality packages available, with some of the “plushest” seats in the country set to be rolled out just behind the dugouts.

Jamie Carragher is understood to be eying a pair for the blue side of his family.

Elsewhere, new footage of the club’s 15,000-seater south stand has been shared.

What have Everton called their 15,000-seater south stand?

BBC Merseyside’s Giulia Bould went inside the stadium and produced an up-close video of what will eventually be the “Blue Wall”.

“The view from inside the south stand at #EFC’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. It’s been nicknamed “the Blue Wall & it’ll seat 15,000. A spectacular design by Meisarch,” she wrote on her personal X account.

How does Everton’s ‘Blue Wall’ compare to Europe’s elite?

Borussia Dortmund’s ‘Yellow Wall’ made the idea of a one-tier stand famous. The Bundesliga giant are known for their atmosphere and impressive tifo displays before their fixtures.

Evertonians shouldn’t expect anything like what is seen at Signal Iduna Park. Dortmund’s south stand holds 25,000 fans, Europe’s largest standing terrace and 10,000 more than the Bramley-Moore build holds.

Everton’s south stand won’t even be the largest one-tier stand in England. Tottenham’s new stadium has a 17,500-seat single-tier stand that is more than 34 meters high.

However, there is one small win for the Toffees. The ‘Blue Wall’ will house 2000 more fans than Liverpool’s Kop, which is currently capable of holding 13,000 fans.
