This is a 38 minute video from an Everton fan seeing their new stadium inside for the first time.
Hopefully I've pressed the button at the correct spot after 24 mins so you can see it from when he sees the pitch for the first time.
It looks very impressive.

Seen a few SM posts with videos. Have to say it looks very decent

Watched this video this morning, and I have to say I am impressed. From the outside it looks stunning, absolutely love the brickwork and the roofing. A really nice combination of materials, there seem to be an awful lot of nice details too.
As for for the inside, I like the industrial look of the concourses and did I spy an ESCALATOR going to the upper level of the stand, so jealous. As for the bowl, I had not realised how steep sided it was and I think this should make for a great atmosphere. What I assumed was the away end looked similar to Spurs so that should be decent.
Really looking forward to visiting next season now. I'm sure Evertonians will miss Goodison a lot, but this new stadium looks superb.
Looks tidy.
And knowing Everton, they'll stink the place out with a load of shite on the pitch they've overpaid for but will now think they can afford . Which could well please the likes of Man Utd, Spurs and Chelsea when they need some new clueless mug club to pay £70m each for players like Fernandes, Chilwell and Maddison in the summer.

Only reason I want them to stay up (which they clearly will now) is to go there next season.

Thanks for that, it makes me wonder what Liverpool fans will make of it as it is far better than Anfield and better placed being close to the river and the city centre?

I wasn't particularly sold on some of the earlier images of the stadium - looked a bit generic and "meh" from the inside. But now its completed, the steepness of the stands is what makes it. A proper high RAKE (which sadly we do not have at the Amex). That will generate a fantastic atmosphere.
Took me back to my goosebumps moment when I first emerged from those concourse steps up to my seat in the WSU for the Doncaster game. I didn't bother with the Spurs friendly or whatever the other game was. I wanted my first sight of the Amex to be a packed house for the first ever proper game, and it certainly did not disappoint. One of the greatest moments of my BHA career.

Its right next to a river, so not ideal as you can only arrive / exit to the south. Can't see that being better placed tbh.
Just my opinion but having been to the old Schalke stadium, for a Schalke game, and then the new one twice to see England (2006, 2024), I don’t think it has aged well at all and looks like a warehouse from the outside.

Certainly not if you are driving, but is it not a lot closer to Lime st station, Albert dock etc?

Looks OK, Liverpool lost its UNESCO world heritage status on the back of it. RESULT

Still a 45 minute walk by the looks of it so not massively nearer, will have to rely on buses or a train from Sandhills instead
Walking distance from Lime Street to BMD would be about the same as Anfield. At least it wouldn't be all uphill though!
It does look great. I've no desire to denigrate Spurs though - that stadium is absolutely incredible IMO.

Looks class to me. I know everyone craves something 'unique' on the inside but I'm not really sure anyone knows what that is, hence all these new builds get called generic as an insult.
Look forward to visiting

Looks like a proper arena, not like the ****hole that is Goodison.
