LA-based architect, Dan Meis, sits down with Rog to talk about his 10 year journey to design a stadium that honored Goodison and talks about how he became a die-hard Everton fan in the process. He also reveals the early stadium designs that got shot-down, why he almost never took on the project, and why Jack Grealish is the "perfect" Everton player. #everton #utft #premierleague #architecture 00:00 - “It just appeared” 03:10 - Colorado to Merseyside 08:02 - Learning Everton history 11:02 - Building something timeless 13:32 - Goodison Park legacy 17:32 - Early stadium ideas 21:30 - new owner, new challenges? 24:30 - Everton fan input 27:10 - Why Bramley-Moore Dock? 29:30 - the steep home stand 33:03 - First Premier League game 39:16 - “It’s BLUEtiful” 42:22 - Losing his home in the LA fires Check out the Men in Blazers Shop: http://shop.meninblazers.com/ Sign up for our newsletters: https://mibcourage.co/newsletters Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/9dUpP2pHHU Listen to all our Men in Blazers podcasts: Wondery | https://mibcourage.co/43QaCW3 iTunes | https://apple.co/3oxDKj3 Spotify | https://spoti.fi/3B4eCpe and all major podcasting apps.
