The adidas Arena at Anfield.

That would be fine, because Manhattan wears adidas trainers.

I couldn't see if this has been posted elsewhere but photos of the new design have been released today. Strange really as it looks exactly the same only bigger as it doesn't have the smaller away end:

Kop Football (Holdings) Limited, ("Kop") the owner of Liverpool Football Club, is pleased to announce the confirmation of the selection of the architectural firm HKS, Inc. as designer of the Club's new stadium at Stanley Park.
Confirmation of the selection of HKS was based on the firm's successful development of an improved stadium design that meets the objective of a cost-effective, supporter-friendly design.

The new stadium, scheduled to open in August 2011, will ensure that Liverpool Football Club and its supporters get the much-anticipated groundbreaking iconic design at a capacity of approximately 71,000 seats, significantly more than is currently available at Anfield.

The new stadium will feature enhanced amenities for the Club's supporters while preserving the history and traditions of Anfield and the Club itself.

It will be anchored by an expanded 18,500-seat standalone KOP, an increase of more than 5,000 seats.

Kop also announces the appointment of KUD International as project manager for the stadium. KUD, which will establish a Liverpool office to oversee the project, has developed projects globally, including Silvertown Quays, a large-scale mixed use scheme in London, as well as collegiate and professional stadiums in the United States including the Philadelphia Eagles' Lincoln Financial Field and the San Francisco Giants' AT&T Park.

Laing O'Rourke, the largest privately owned construction firm in the UK, has also joined, and provides further depth of experience to, the project team. Laing O'Rourke is currently working with developer Grosvenor on The Paradise Project in Liverpool – Europe's largest city-centre regeneration scheme.

Tom Hicks said: "HKS has developed a more efficient design that, at the same time, is just as stunning as its original design.

"Liverpool supporters should have high expectations for the future: a premier sporting experience at their new stadium at Stanley Park and a winning Club on the pitch for years to come."

looks exactly the same as the previous design

maybe they've chosen to make it out of plastic instead of metal

at least they'll give us something... damn yanks

by **puroresu** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 1:05 pm

Am I missing something but it looks exactly the same (which is a good thing).

by **sundy** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 1:09 pm

Im well impressed as long as there is no more stoppages and reviewing of the proposal,71000 seater also! Excellent
Cant trust these yanks thou so will believe it when i see it built!
DIC could be in yet to change around the whole situation!

by **Dundalk** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 1:20 pm

Ooooooooooookkkkaaaayyyyy..........is this some kind of wind up

It looks the exact same

by **Bad Bob** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 1:24 pm

It looks exactly the same because it's a f.ucking charm offensive designed to appease supporters with dreams of a shiny new stadium. The Liverpool supporters are in revolt and we've got no concrete confirmation of the refinancing deal yet? Why not dust off the old stadium picks, tweak a line or two and slap em up on the club website? That'll shut em up!

Release as many f.ucking pictures as you want, you muppets--it don't mean sh!t until ground is broken. :no

by **cpc4eva** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 1:59 pm

in previous stadium release it was said a 60,000 seater with expended capacity to 80,000 so can we expect the stadium which is now being quoted at 71,000 capacity to be expanded to 80,000 + in the future ??

still no mention about the Liverpool way in the design of new stadium.....

eg: shankley gates
flag pole

really annoying that si little is said about about the stadium except they give u a bunch a pictures and tell u about capacity....

the stadium is more than just ambience and the amount of bums on seats paying to make H&G a tidy profit.................

by **Roger Red Hat** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 2:03 pm

thats a good point, i assume the shankly gates/statue and paisley gates, plus the hillsborough memorial will be relocated? you'd think.
