History
About Goodison Park
Goodison Park was Everton's home from 1892 to 2025. One of the oldest purpose-built football grounds in the world. After a rent dispute at Anfield (then their ground), Everton moved across Stanley Park and built a new ground designed by Archibald Leitch. Goodison hosted World Cup matches in 1966 and was the first English ground to have all four sides as multi-tier covered stands. Everton moved to Hill Dickinson Stadium (the new Bramley-Moore Dock waterfront ground) in 2025.
Seating layout
Goodison Park seating plan & capacity
Goodison's seating bowl was famously asymmetric. The Park End was a single tier, while the other three stands were two or three tiers. The classic Leitch "criss-cross" steel balcony detail on the Bullens Road and Main Stand is one of the most photographed features in English football architecture.
Howard Kendall Gwladys Street Stand
Behind the north goal. Named after the great Everton manager. Heart of Everton's vocal home support; the original "Z-cars" walk-out song was sung here.
Sir Philip Carter Park Stand (Park End)
Behind the south goal, opposite Gwladys Street. Single-tier stand built in 1994, the most modern part of the ground.
Bullens Road Stand
Side stand on the east, three tiers, characteristic Archibald Leitch criss-cross balcony detail.
Main Stand (Wilford Owen Stand)
Side stand opposite Bullens Road. Houses the directors' box and dressing rooms.
