The big screens at the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock have now undergone testing
Another milestone has been reached as work continues on Everton’s state-of-the-art new stadium. The big screens installed at either end of the ground have undergone testing and look ready to go.
Everton released footage of the screen test on Friday amid ongoing progress at the landmark waterfront venue.
Images released by the club showed the screens being tested with graphics for an Everton goal and with the message UTT – Up The Toffees.
Both looked spectacular as they appeared above the pitch. The new stadium boasts two screeens that are each 32m x 9m in size and are made by a company called ADI.

While the screen test may only be a small development, it is another to highlight the progress being made as the move to Bramley-Moore begins to feel increasingly real.
It comes as work continues on building up the layers that will create the pitch – perhaps the most significant visible milestone left to complete.
As part of the build-up to the move, Everton last week launched its Fan Wall initiative, which will see the creation of a mosaic artwork made entirely from fan photos on the river-facing western wall of the ground.
Named ‘The Originals’, the artwork will honour Everton players who have realised unique achievements while representing the Blues and those who have truly embodied the Everton spirit on and off the pitch.
Evertonians from across the world will be able to submit a photo for the wall, with the personal images set to be pieced together to create a magnificent fan-inspired mosaic.
Among the initial line-up of ‘Originals’ will be Dixie Dean, the club’s greatest ever goalscorer, ‘The Holy Trinity’ of Alan Ball, Howard Kendall and Colin Harvey, and ‘The last of the Corinthians’, Brian Labone.
Everton’s first black captain Kevin Campbell, the club’s record Premier League appearance maker Seamus Coleman and Tim Cahill – a fan favourite and scorer of Australia’s first ever World Cup goal during his time at Everton – will also take their place on the wall.
They are joined by Bob Latchford, a goalscoring hero of the 1970s, and Graeme Sharp, the Blues’ highest living goalscorer and Neville Southall, the club’s most-decorated player who also holds the appearance record, ensuring the wall represents names and eras that have inspired all generations of Evertonians.
