NIL Satis Nisi Optimum, Everton FC logo: “Nothing but the best is good enough. “The offers on the field have suggested over the past few seasons otherwise (what is Latin for“ What to stay will do? ”) But in the form A new sparkling stadium In Bramley-More Dock, which will replace Goodison Park as a permanent Everton home since the beginning of next season, the club is now concrete evidence that its historical ambition in excellence is finally being confronted.
Based on the shows and early shots inside, Everton Stadium (will be before that before this is wrapped in this kind deputy in Capitalism Rococo “Tesladome”, “Open Ai’s Chatgpt Arena” or “Palantir displays Bramley-More Dock”) is a wonderful and compressed square that should keep at least some of the home of the old Everton home. These situations on the most severe stadium that will allow regulations, and the lines of views are decreased from each seat, and we spend from promotional videos, fans will not be more than 50 meters of toilet or Science, which looks like a main measure of success for any stadium in Liverpool.
Among the most features of the new structure, the southern holder, a single position that extends from the stadium to the surface that accommodates 14,000 fans and becomes, at the club Special words“Blue Wall” and “beating heart” to support Everton’s house.
The story is repeated in Liverpool, in which the hope of urban renewal rises under a new sports teacher, through most of the rich world. From Milan to Miami, these are Boom times to build a new stadium in Europe and the United States. But why do you feel the entire infrastructure reward for emptiness?
Of course, the “Blue Wall” of the Everton Stadium is the famous “yellow wall” of Borussia Dortmund in Westfalinsadon, which now has a good demand that it is the most widely traditional stadium feature on this planet. Each team wants to build a stadium today is a very descendant home end to host the most passionate fans and provide color and noise for the match day experience: South Tottenham Hotspur holder of 17,500 seats was designed to create a “The Wall of the Voice” (Or maybe anger, given to The last direction of the club), While in the United States, Buffalo Bills builds a new seat of 60,000 seats. The northern end area will put the fans 12 feet from working in the field and inflating the home feature, The Architects claim“Through a frightening wall of support.” The team owners and many fans want them; Cities believe they need them. But who already benefits when large tops rise?
Although they may be impressive structures, these new arenas have the same, even in aesthetic allegations that stadium designers are now making the sensitivity of their creativity towards architectural heritage. both of them Everton For example, the stadium stadium and the new square, with a “generous” red brick pruning to the industrial history of their surrounding cities – is characterized by converting, for these old proud manufacturing centers, and the pain of removing manufacturing to exorbitant pleasure to participate in the entertainment economy in the twenty -first century.
Historically, structural dodgers, stadium recognition-cruel, exposure, and sporadic food options that can threaten life, and long toilet lines are barbaric-a kind of fuel for fans culture. Are we traveling towards a world of perfect stadium engineering, where each stadium looks and feels the same, and every mass base is transformed towards the same set of game and enthusiasm habits?
Given the small circuit that dominates the design of the top level stadiums, the drifting to homogeneity may not be surprising. Most of the prominent stadiums that have been built in recent years are the work of a handful of companies including Populous, which built the new squares of both Spears and bills and was responsible for the “Retro” madness in the 2000 era in the design of the baseball stadium. Manica was responsible for the Allegt Stadium in Las Vegas, the new house of Tennessi Titans in Nashville, and a new stadium for Chicago Beers. Foster + Partners designed Lusail Stadium in Qatar and was recently It was recruited By Sir Jim Ratcliffe to design EURT This will finally replace Old Trafford. Reis behind the new vessels of Everton and ROMA. Regardless of the characteristics of each site and club, there is a formula for these stadiums now, and it makes the Gameday experience cannot be distinguished from Doha to Dallas.
Throughout Europe and the United States, stadiums have become great hope for urban renewal – the origins of the award that will restore local origins, and return life and money to the cities of recession. Surface, this looks like an ideal marriage: major clubs need to increase revenues that will be brought by the largest and most advanced stadiums with a richer facilities, and cities need to increase the economic activity that should be followed in theory from building a major new place. It is true, of course, that in the new world of professional sport, revenues are the king. In order for a football club in Europe, for example, from a narrow and 30,000 -seat services to a new elegant square with an area of 60,000 people, and all the other nonsense represents a huge step in the economic power, with security to close the intensive revenue flows for upcoming decades. In England, the economic incentives for building the stadium are more powerful given that infrastructure expenditures are exempt from the new profitability rules in the Premier League: For higher clubs, Big building has become something closer to a free financial kick.
But no matter how much economic feeling, they are, at least in theory, rarely attracts new stadiums (perhaps) the same type of affection from Ramshackle fans, who lived in old reasons from Team Team. As Arsenal’s experience appears over the past two decades, the financial raising of a new square sometimes comes with a more harmful psychological and cultural depletion. The economy does not always work. In some cases, these stadiums can become a potential killer diameter, not only because the debt service that is often incurred for its construction is exorbitant but also because they sometimes stimulate transgression. Lyon moved, for example, to the Groupama Stadium in 2016, but he was satisfied with their 59,000 -seat new home, which is in the midst that the club, amid a wider financial hardship than Covid and the recruitment of poor players, is now so turbulent that the club is now overcoming the neighborhood and following it on the neighborhood edge From the administrative decline to the second layer of France.
From the simple solution to the payment problem, of course, get someone else to take care of it. This is the financial relief line that has become privileges in the United States in particular in eavesdropping, as federal law allows local governments to issue tax exempt to build sports facilities.
The strong dependence on public funds to finance construction costs in the United States is a partially necessary. It is amazing how much is the cost of building 60,000 newly seats in America than it is in Europe, and symptoms of blockage in the broader infrastructure that has become the focus of many The last writing: While Tottenham Hotspur, for example, reached a budget of more than 1.2 billion pounds ($ 1.5 billion), the new Colosseum Chicago Peres, which is expected to be the same size as his land for the home, Budget At a cost of $ 3.2 billion. General contributions for the new Fondness and Bills The foundations are the largest stadium subsidies in the history of the United States.
The motives that drive governments, not only in the United States but also in Europe, to provide financial and political support for these projects are a mixture of vanity (prestige and magnetic from architectural marvel), fear (the threat of defection by the host team to a different location, which is especially strong in the United States, with its long history from the group to adherence and anger), and wages. From these, it is an ambition that gets all the titles. During approval of planning, construction, and revealing every new stadium, there is a continuous speech on everything the stadium will do and will do it to stimulate, renew and restart the surrounding economy. On the last day, Everton’s owners on the phone to the UK government were asking for more money on the basis that the new club land “will accelerate Liverpool”, as a major title in financial times Put it. From taxes to regulation and even interest rates, the risk of the capitalist journey is the great threat to modern economic policy. The stadiums are installing this drama in a beating, if not always clear, local governments must a useful visual metaphor to satisfy themselves that they evaluate life in the local economy and attract external investment while linking important cultural assets in their place.
There is one small problem in the argument of urban renewal: do not stand up to evidence. The activation led by the stadium is the legend that will survive from the end of the world. New stadiums, as a wide range of academic literature He appearsThe number of economic benefits that developers, team owners and local politicians prepare. Whatever the motivation they provide to economic activity in their direct environment is always compensated by depression corresponding to spending and investing in other areas of the same city.
The new stadiums facilitate the transfer of wealth, within the geographical areas and through the classes. In many cases, they may harm further publishing, as they burden local communities with construction costs and transfer public funds from education and housing while getting rid of all the future wealth of the stadium for the team itself, which often means the owners of the teams: a classic condition of profit privatization with social media of risks. Building new stadiums is great works for architects, developers, facilities and team investors, and a poor agreement for all. The financial flows involved – from the local community to the pockets of the team’s owners – can be predicted as the designs of the stadiums themselves.
Even when the general benefits are modest, the financial effects of the new construction are rippled to supporters through the high prices of tickets and the most expensive amenities; Ultimately, a day on the field becomes a transverse luxury and not a regular fun. We have always been told traditions, society, roots, at the heart of any new stadium project, but inevitably it is diluted by filling the positions of fresh concrete. The new stadiums do not transform the material reality in which the team plays; They also change the base of the fans of the team, and the related culture. Perhaps this is the real point inherent in the unification of the design of the modern stadium: eliminating the fire, non -Saudi, difficult, and let us be honest – to be poor supporters, to expel coxs and madness, and replace them all with the Sanee consumers, obedient to standing, singing and spending on accuracy.
The arrival of a new stadium, in many ways, the birth of a new club, not disappointed by everything that happened before.
From the distance of the 52,000 new Everton house, a steel and glass bubble is at the top of a powerful brick base, which has a side of the giant escape that is ready for launch. The more the most amazing, impressive, impressive, surrounded by the screen and hyperactivity appears, the more it seems that they do not embody the investment in the societies that represent them but they are raised from them.
