00:00Everton has received approval from Liverpool City Council to stage outdoor events at the
00:09site including concerts and Christmas markets. The space surrounding the stadium is capable
00:14of holding crowds of around 13,000 people. The 52,769-seat stadium at Bramley Moor Dock
00:23has already been selected to host the Rugby League Ashes Test match in its first season
00:28and will stage Everton's initial home matches following the club's departure from Goodison Park
00:33after 133 years. A licensing hearing at Liverpool Town Hall was told that the club's founding partner
00:41and official beer provider Budweiser could look at stage events at the venue during the summer.
00:47Budweiser was among the first brands to partner with Everton following the move to Bramley Moor Dock
00:53and supplies drinks on match days including Budweiser. The outdoor plaza carries the Budweiser name.
01:03David Crank, a licensing agent representing Everton, told the hearing that the company would consider
01:09screening World Cup matches across three open areas around the stadium with an event management
01:14plan put in place if approved. Because of the time difference between the UK and the United States,
01:20England's matches are scheduled to kick off at 9pm and 10pm.
