Everton stars will be appearing as Hill Dickinson Stadium hosts Europe's first Men in Blazers live event with Roger Bennett
Hill Dickinson Stadium is to host another European first with an event later this month featuring Everton first team stars.
Last month, the Blues’ 52,769 capacity home on the Mersey waterfront welcomed Upper Deck Golf, which brought its unique format to Europe and outside of North America for the first time. With tee boxes placed high in the stands and custom greens laid out on the pitch below, the format had previously been staged at some of the most recognised NFL and MLB stadiums, including Wrigley Field in Chicago, Yankee Stadium in New York and Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
Now, Hill Dickinson Stadium welcomes hit US football media network Men in Blazers for a live show featuring Everton stars on Monday August 17. The ticketed ‘evening with’ event will see Men in Blazers host and lifelong Evertonian Roger Bennett raise the curtain on the season.
Roger will be joined live on stage by members of the first team squad, including Everton’s 2025/26 Player of the Season James Garner, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and summer signing Hayden Hackney, among others yet to be announced.
Everton and Men in Blazers have previously joined forces to present sold-out live stage shows in Washington DC and New York, with Blues based in the UK now set to have the opportunity to enjoy Bennett’s captivating blend of comedy and candid football chat.
Supporters will hear more about the players’ careers, personalities and experiences at Everton, as well as their excitement and ambitions for the season ahead.
With the opening fixture against Crystal Palace at Hill Dickinson Stadium taking place the following Saturday, the event will provide a unique opportunity to hear directly from the dressing room as anticipation builds for the return of Premier League football.
Born and raised in Liverpool, Bennett moved to the USA and set up the Men in Blazers media network to share his love of football – and Everton - with a North American audience. An instant hit, it later became an NBC television show and cultivated a cult social media following in the States and beyond.
