The exterior looks brilliant, but i'm not feeling the inside at all. Kop, as much as it should be there for you lot, just looks odd. The varying degree's of banking on each stand looks weird too.
I do love the exterior though, looks quality!!

Oooh Very futuristic and modern! Lovely! The glass bits remind me of Ascot kind of. Didn't you say the architect that designed the Dallas Cowboys stadium worked on this?

Yeah, interior is hard to get a feel of, wouldnt mind seeing a few more pics at better angles, especially as the Kop doesnt look massive to me, but it holds 18k so much be huge.

Yeah i'd like to see some more pics too. Need to get more of an idea of how it all looks and if it fits better than what that pic shows.
18k is impressive! How much does the Holt at Villa Park hold? Thats enourmous too.

They need to be higher up, too hard to see the angles with the low pics!
Holte End holds 13,500....nothing compared to this

Its staying where it was always going to be, stones throw from Anfield in Stanley Park.
Where the blue bit is, red one is old Anfield.
