Hill Dickinson Stadium: A New Beginning for Everton and Hope for the City of Liverpool

August 24, 2025, was a memorable date for Evertonians and the club. After more than a century at Goodison Park, the club officially opened its stunning new home, Hill Dickinson Stadium, which has a seating capacity for 52,700 supporters.

A touching farewell video to Goodison Park went viral, showing fans who have spent their childhood at the old warhorse stadium crying but now embracing new optimism.

The inaugural match at the new stadium against Brighton was an exhilarating one. Everton triumphed 2-0, and history was created when Iliman Ndiaye opened the scoring at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The goal was the result of a Jack Grealish assist, who was also responsible for James Garner's second goal.This was an instant moment that made the new stadium an icon of hope: a good beginning to a new chapter in the life of Everton.
