Built in 1892, on what was Mere Green field, Goodison Park is one of the oldest football grounds in England.

It is noted for a number of firsts including being the first British sports ground to have double-decker stands on all four sides and the first to have a three tier stand. It was also the first English league ground to have undersoil heating, and the first to feature covered dugouts.

The current ground has four stands;

The Park End - completed in 1994. A single-tier, 6,000 capacity cantilever stand.

Bullens Road - A 8,067 capacity two-tier stand designed by the renowned football ground architect Archibald Leitch and completed in 1926.

Main Stand - completed in 1971. A 16,347capacity three-tier stand, incorporating the Main Stand, Family Enclosure, corporate boxes and team changing rooms. Return from Goodison Park to Everton
