Goodison Park, the first major football stadium to be built in England, was opened in 1892.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.toffeeweb.com/club/goodison/gp-history.asp|title=History of Goodison Park|publisher=Toffeeweb|access-date=16 July 2009|archive-date=7 October 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007175429/http://toffeeweb.com/club/goodison/gp-history.asp|url-status=live}}</ref> Goodison Park has staged more top-flight football games than any other ground in the United Kingdom and was the only English club ground to host a semi-final at the [[1966 FIFA World Cup]]. It was also the first English ground to have under-soil heating and the first to have two tiers on all sides. The church grounds of St Luke the Evangelist are adjacent to the corner of the Main Stand and the Howard Kendall Gwladys Street End.<ref>{{cite web |title=Everton firsts |publisher=Everton F.C. |url=http://www.evertonfc.com/history/everton-firsts.html |access-date=22 August 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060820184938/http://www.evertonfc.com/history/everton-firsts.html |archive-date=20 August 2006 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

On match days, in a tradition going back to 1962, players walk out to the tune "[[Theme from Z-Cars|Johnny Todd]]", played in the arrangement used when it was the theme song for ''[[Z-Cars]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=The 'real' story behind Everton's enduring anthem Z-Cars |url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/david-prentice-real-story-behind-7795561 |access-date=3 September 2015 |first=David |last=Prentice |archive-date=25 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151125131652/http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/david-prentice-real-story-behind-7795561 |url-status=live }}</ref> It is a traditional Liverpool children's song collected in 1890 by [[Frank Kidson]] and tells the story of a sailor betrayed by his lover while away at sea.<ref>{{cite web |title=Johnny Todd |publisher=feniks.com |url=http://www.feniks.com/skb/music/lull7.html |access-date=21 August 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070218185904/http://www.feniks.com/skb/music/lull7.html |archive-date=18 February 2007}}</ref> On two occasions in 1994, the club walked out to different songs. In August 1994, the club played [[2 Unlimited]]'s song "[[Get Ready For This]]". A month later, the club used a reworking of the [[Creedence Clearwater Revival]] classic "[[Bad Moon Rising (song)|Bad Moon Rising]]". Both songs were met with complete disapproval by Everton fans.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Mimms |first=Robert |title=Amateur Dramatics |url=http://www.wsc.co.uk/the-archive/30-Clubs/6382-amateur-dramatics |journal=When Saturday Comes |date=July 1998 |access-date=26 December 2013 |archive-date=27 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131227071550/http://www.wsc.co.uk/the-archive/30-Clubs/6382-amateur-dramatics |url-status=live }}</ref>

Starting from the 2025-26 season, Goodison Park will be home to [[Everton F.C. (Women)|Everton's women's team]], as the men's team moves to Everton Stadium. This will make it the largest dedicated women's football stadium in the UK.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Goodison Park to become home of Everton's women |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c753l17rgkdo |access-date=2025-05-13 |website=BBC Sport}}</ref>
