As I say it didn’t make any sense to me either but, the tour guide was bigging it up.
They were definitely talking bollocks.

You must mean every seat in a particular row?!

The stands would be in a circle over and around the pitch if that was the case.

Not if it was the distance to the centre circle as claimed rather than the distance to the centre spot.
I still think the claim is bolloks though.

The ones in the corner are definitely further away than those on the halfway line, whether it’s a circle or spot. Deffo bollocks according to my mate Pythagorus.

Doesn't make any difference, would still have to be a circular stadium.
Also the seat behind you would have to be in front of you.

No chance. No one will convince me that a seat on the very back row on level 3 in the Colin Bell or East stands (in line with the halfway line) was equidistant with a seat in the front row on level one.

Sounds like a right square, that fella. All together now, "3, 4, 5"
"TAXI!!!!"

I think they said no seat was further than x from the centre circle - not all seats were the same distance away.

If you want to see a ground where every seat is equidistant from the centre circle, in a ground holding 60k people, some would need a very good telescope to see the other end of the pitch

Fuck...look at us NOW !!!!!!!
The Gene Kelly was entirely due to us moving grounds, there was not point investing in major capital works and by the time they were complete having one year left. They were mobile formula one event seats and did okay for 2 years, and one in the Kippax/Platt corner for the mini GK.
Off topic, but what has been discussed recently, construction costs.
Everton FC’s dire financial position has been eased slightly with the receipt of more than £100m towards construction of its new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium.
The 52,888-capacity development has soared in cost from £500m to £760m.
