Iconic New Anfield / Liverpool stadium

When I first heard that the stadium was going to be slightly downgraded, I feared it might mean a complete redesign of the iconic plans revealed last summer. Fortunately they choose to stick with HKS who only made minor modifications to the original design, what we're left with is something more efficient and still very much unique & iconic in nature. It's expected to be open in 3.5 years time which is quite a bit back on what was previously hoped for. The capacity is a healthy 71,000 with the Kop having 18,500. Thankfully the acoustics of the roof will still accentuate the atmosphere so nothing lost there.
Here's the latest pictures (click on any of them for full size) :-
