Goodison Park Stadium

If you give birth to both Darth Vader and Han Solo, then you basically have a son who is a goodie, and a son who is a baddie. Your Goodie Son is the one I’m reviewing now. By the way you may want to re-​teach him how to drive, specifically parallel parking. I’m not trying to be mean, but I can barely watch your Goodie Son Park.
First-​Hand Experience: It’s half a mile from my fave stadium in the world. I’ve seen them play here against the Toffees, I’ve been here on about 10 other occasions, and one of my Unilocal profile pix was taken at this stadium, actually.
I’ve been to virtually every significant stadium in the UK & US, due to a lifelong obsession with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born and raised in England, I followed Oxford United (my hometown team) to many stadiums all over the country at away games, and later followed Liverpool (my fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are from personal experience at these stadiums from multiple visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited these stadiums then, also. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in the UK for 3 months, I visited all of the stadiums as I travelled around the country. I have pictures of many of them which I will post in future. Also, when I’m back in the UK I plan to take more pictures, and add more stadiums too! So watch this space!

This stadium needs a facelift and a revamp, in parts it’s falling apart, and the team keeps talking about moving to a new stadium… but I don’t care! It’s one of the best stadiums in the country, it’s got an intense, rabid atmosphere, it’s in a poor area and still represents the common people that have been coming here for, now, centuries. Absolutely fantastic place to play and watch football.
The fact that it’s just across the park from Liverpool’s Anfield just makes it more fun. These rivals are literally next door neighbours.
The stadium can hold 40k and was built for football. It opened in 1892 and Everton have played here ever since. A FA Cup Final and several 1966 World Cup Games were held here. A World Cup Semi Final was held here.
Your goodie son has really done well for himself, then. How is the baddie son doing?
