Truly Revolutionary – New Liverpool Stadium

As promised the new stadium will be centred around the Kop, which will house 18,000 fans in a single tier stand. The acoustics of the roof have been designed to accentuate the atmosphere.

As was widely expected, Liverpool have done away with the trend towards bowl shaped stadiums and instead have gone for a more traditional asymmetric design. "This new design will be unmistakeable Liverpool and instantly recognisable as our stadium."

The stadium will initially house 60,000 fans with the facility to expand to 78,000 in the years ahead, while Hicks & Gillet would have liked to started out with 78,000 they were held back by planning restrictions. To cater for 78,000 Liverpool will have to finance major improvements in the transport infrastructure to Stanley Park, one rumour indicates modernising the existing railway system through Stanley Park.

Importantly, it’s been stated that the new stadium will not land Liverpool in debt, ticket prices will inevitably rise, that combined with the extra seating should help to ensure Liverpool’s long term competitiveness.
