Everton's new stadium will have large end based on Dortmund's 'Yellow Wall'

One of the chief architects behind Everton's new stadium has revealed plans to replicate Borussia Dortmund's 'Yellow Wall'.

American architect Dan Meis of MEIS Architects met with Everton supporters on Monday evening to provide an update to the progress of the plans for a new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock.

He met with fans at St Luke's Church, which is close to Everton's current home of Goodison Park.

He said: 'We're planning on creating a very large home end in the south stand of the stadium which should be similar to Dortmund's Yellow Wall'.

'Depending on the final stadium capacity, the stand will hold 12,000-15,000 fans and we also want to include a concourse that will look back at the city, immediately by the home end that would be very cool.'

Meis said he wanted to make Everton's new stadium into a 'fortress', before adding that he wanted the club to have the 'greatest home ground in English football'.

Plans were also unveiled that suggested the Toffees will install the biggest screens ever used at stadiums in the UK.

He also placed an emphasis on making sure that supporters are as close to the action as possible in an attempt to copy the current setting at Goodison Park.

It was also stated that there was a desire from fans to have a stadium that would have the capacity for at least 50,000.
