You are actually correct Stan. I know you get a lot of stick on this subject and it's your pet hate, but when you read Ayer's comments it is just one stand and maybe tinker with the Anfield Road End when we are back in the CL on a regular basis.
Anyone who thinks that is going to be soon is completely deluded.
See, I was under the impression it was two stands and didn't have a problem with it... now it turns out it's only going to be the main stand - and a fair whack of that is going to be corporate???? I'll reserve judgement until it's completed..
The article and every other says that phase one is the main stand and phase two is the Anfield row end with a capacity of 59000 being the projected result. Personally, I don't think it's a bad idea. Anfield is a Cathedral of football. It's part of our history, and I'd hate to see us leave it, even for a shiny new campus. This expansion would still make us the 3rd largest stadium in the country, and I just don't think 300 million for an extra 15,000 seats makes sense to me.
I know that American sports are a different kettle of fish, but Fenway Park is one of the most iconic, most loved, and most famous venues in baseball, despite its size. I was privileged enough to go watch a game there, and it was an incredible experience. If we are really going to redevelop the concourse ad rejuvenate the area, I think this is really the best thing to do. I may get lambasted for it, and fair enough. But that's my opinion.
