Rooney attended Everton's win against Fulham last weekend.
“It was brilliant,” the former England international said on his BBC podcast. “I've been to the stadium a few times.
“At the end of last season, I watched the under-18s against Bolton. And then I went and just done a tour as well at the end of last season.
“I took my lad to the game yesterday and I loved it, obviously. Great win. Everton played really well. Jack Grealish was brilliant.
“The atmosphere was really good. And I sat next to Peter Reid, which is always fun! So great win, a needed win, I think, as well.
“The stadium is incredible, what they've done with the stadium. I think the worry when you go into a new stadium is, can you get the atmosphere in there, but the atmosphere was brilliant, loved it.”
