Everton's move from Goodison Park brought them to the Mersey waterfront, and the Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock is the newest ground in this guide, a steep-sided, 52,888-seat bowl with open water and sky to its west. That western exposure is worth knowing about, because on a summer evening in Liverpool nothing out there blocks the setting sun.
For a 1:10 PM kickoff in high summer, our engine measures the stadium at 36% shaded overall. The sun at that hour is due south and 58 degrees up, so shade is a top-down affair: rooflines and upper-deck overhangs protecting the rows beneath them, while the open middle of the bowl takes full sun.
The club level is where the protection concentrates, sections 207 through 212 each hold 50% shade across an afternoon match. The lower tier runs much hotter in sun terms: sections 120 and 116 measure 28% shaded, section 130 comes in at 26%, and section 129 at 24%. The ground sits on a roughly north–south axis, which puts its long sides facing east and west; the east-side seats shed the sun as the afternoon wears on, while west-facing seats hold it late.
Liverpool's climate is the mildest kind of consolation. July afternoons average 68°F, with a breeze off the river more often than not. Even the sunniest seat at the Hill Dickinson Stadium is a sunglasses problem, not a heat problem.
By 7 PM the sun sits due west at 19 degrees of altitude, dropping toward a late 9:32 PM sunset, Merseyside's northern latitude stretches July daylight well past nine. From 6 PM onward the ground is 61% shaded, so most seats at an evening fixture are comfortable from kickoff.
The exception is the west-facing seating, where the low sun comes in over the dock with nothing to interrupt it. If you're in an east-side seat you'll watch the second half in shadow; if you're facing west, expect golden-hour glare until the sun finally meets the horizon.
For summer afternoons, club sections 207–212 are the reliable shade; lower sections 116, 120, 129, and 130 are the exposed ones. For evening matches, almost anywhere works except a west-facing seat in the last hours of daylight. And once autumn arrives, September highs of 62°F, a lower sun, shade stops being a factor at all.
