Smile Liverpool's new Stadium

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Liverpool | Liverpool unveil new stadium plan

Looks a little different to the original design, but capacity going to be nearly 80,000.

Waiting for more pics before I make my own mind up, but fair play to the Americans they've re-hashed the original plans and come up with a design to accomodate 20,000 more seats.

Great stadium for Britian's most decorated club.

Capacity will be 65000 with the option to extend to 75,000. It will never ever have a capacity of 80,000.

Looks nice enough though Ash1. Is there going to be a trophy room or will they just convert a janitors closet should the unlikely need arise
Tee hee hee I love our little chats

Definately starting to look more like the massive American stadiums that are popping up all over North America.

Not saying its a bad thing with them being modern and comfortable but will they have any soul and atmosphere.
Actually probably yes as they'll be engineered in.

Overall I like it though, very contemporary

Undecided on the horseshoe effect, would like to see an ariel picture but its a refreshing change from the bland bowl stadiums that are popping up everywhere now.

Looks ugly to me. Very 'chav' so should fit in well in Liverpool.

The 'Kop' bit looks like a giant fancy toaster

Sure it will be a superb stadium. Shame about the team
