How are you going to afford a 500m stadium? I know money is rife in the PL and Everton have been pretty big spenders in the PL in recent years but you've never got the added income of European football. A big loan?
Another question I would have (and I'm completely naive on this subject) is why are all these new stadiums that are being built still smalller in capacity to Old Trafford?
Utd don’t sell out all their home games. I expect there is also some some of optimal capacity range, above which building costs start to get very expensive as an average cost per seat.
They do have the ability to add an extra 10k seats if they start selling out every week.
You don’t want a white elephant of a stadium that’s only 2/3 full.
Not sure that's correct? I get it might not be worth Everton building a 80k person capacity stadium but what about Spurs'? Given the location even if there aren't 80k Spurs fans I'm sure it would still be a sell out for those just wanting an evening out
After the initial ‘novelty’ of spurs being at Wembley, they didn’t sell out. I went to a few games the season before last, and the Madrid game was certaintly sold out, but the Utd and Arsenal games weren’t - still big crowds though.
Isn't the start of the 2023-24 season only 4 years away?
I’m sure given your expertise on tracking the spurs stadium, you can assist our Evertonian friends on timeframes, overruns and cost issues.
