Everton the envy of millions as Hill Dickinson Stadium announcement made
Everton fans have taken little time to fall in love with their Hill Dickinson Stadium home.
Everton moved into the 52,000-plus capacity stadium in the summer after saying goodbye to long-time home Goodison Park.
Changes have been made to Goodison Park’s facade, which is now home to the women’s team and will remain a part of Everton supporters’ hearts forever.
Everton fans already know just how good a ground Hill Dickinson Stadium is, and now that has been recognised with a new award.
Hill Dickinson Stadium wins international award
The Hill Dickinson Stadium could host Women’s World Cup matches in 2035 and it has already staged numerous other events.
Everton reported via their official website on Thursday that the state-of-the-art stadium has been crowned as Project of the Year at the TheStadiumBusiness Design & Development Awards 2025.
The Bramley-Moore Dock venue saw off competition from Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Estadio La Cartuja in Seville, Fulham’s new Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage, Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong, the Nagasaki Stadium City and Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah in Rabat.
That is quite some competition to see off for the prestigious award, and shows why Everton are now the envy of millions of fans across the world.
Alix Waldron, Everton’s director of new stadium development, told the club’s website: “We are absolutely thrilled to land the Project of the Year award.
“We’re all immensely proud of Hill Dickinson Stadium and to see it recognised by industry experts is testament to our belief that this is a world-class venue.
“We’d like to thank the judging panel for their consideration and reiterate our thanks to everyone who helped contribute to making Hill Dickinson Stadium a home that all Evertonians can be immensely proud of.”
Where does Hill Dickinson Stadium rank in terms of Premier League attendances?
The Hill Dickinson Stadium has averaged attendances of 52,110 so far this season in the Premier League.
That is the eighth highest in the division, although there are only a few hundred separating Everton from Newcastle United and Manchester City.
Arsenal and Liverpool average a little over 60,000, while Tottenham are second on the list with 60,984, behind Manchester United’s Old Trafford (73,992).
| Ranking | Stadium | Capacity |
| 1 | Old Trafford | 73,992 |
| 2 | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium | 60,984 |
| 3 | London Stadium | 62,455 |
| 4 | Anfield | 60,384 |
| 5 | Emirates Stadium | 60,168 |
| 6 | St James’ Park | 52,143 |
| 7 | Etihad Stadium | 52,364 |
| 8 | Hill Dickinson Stadium | 52,110 |
The capacity may not be as big as some of those, but the ground can certainly hold its own when it comes to being the most aesthetically pleasing around.
And the best news is that David Moyes is building a team fitting of playing at the ground, which will be Everton’s home for decades to come.
