GOODISON PARK will be made smaller as part of its conversion for the Everton Women's team.
The iconic stadium will be repurposed by the club after the men's team moves to the new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Goodison Park was first opened in 1892 and has a capacity of 39,572.
But that is set to be reduced as multiple parts will be reconfigured.
This will be done by reducing the number of seats in each row in order to add space.
Everton's women's team currently has an average attendance of 2,062 at their current home of Walton Hall Park.
The club has offered season ticket holders and hospitality members the chance to buy the seat that was theirs for this season.
It would act as a souvenir of the historic stadium following Sunday's home match against Southampton.
The women's side are excited about the prospect of playing their regular football at Goodison.
Captain Megan Finnigan has insisted that the team will belong at the ground.
She said: "To walk out at Goodison Park as our permanent home will be a real honour.
"It's where we belong — and we can't wait to create new memories there."

While manager Brian Sorensen insisted that it can help the club's dreams grow.
He added: "Our players will now have a stage that matches their potential.
"Our fans will have a place to build an even stronger matchday culture.
"Young girls across Merseyside will see that this is a club where dreams can grow and come true."
Goodison Park will feature more branding of the women's team on the upper tier of the Howard Kendall Gwladys Street End.
Meanwhile, the new 53,000-seater Everton stadium has had its formal name revealed.
The club has partnered with legal firm Hill Dickinson, which has taken the naming rights.
The stadium will now be known as the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
