Anfield’s New Pitch Installed and Anfield Road End Expansion – Key Facts
Liverpool Football Club’s Anfield stadium is undergoing a major redevelopment, and the latest photos from This Is Anfield show that the new pitch is almost fully installed. The new Anfield Road Stand is also coming along nicely, with progress continuing in the interior and exterior. With the new season only a month away, excitement is building as the images of what Anfield will look like will soon become a reality with the new stand’s completion.
The New Pitch
The new pitch was grown at a turf farm over the last three months and it takes only a matter of days to be laid and three weeks to become match ready. The groundsmen will be responsible for painting the lines on the pitch and putting the goal posts back in place when it is time to do so. The new pitch is looking very green compared to when we last saw it, and it is sure to provide a great playing surface for the upcoming season.
Anfield Road End Expansion
The Anfield Road End expansion is set to be completed before the first home game of 2023/24, and will increase the capacity of Anfield to 61,015. The expanded stand will hold 15,967 supporters, while the lower tier will remain the same but with larger concourses. The estimated build cost of the expansion is £80m.
The Anfield Forever Walkway is also moving at speed, an area for fans to, literally, cement their place in the stadium’s rich history in front of the Shankly Gates. With the new stand’s completion, fans can look forward to an even more electric atmosphere at Anfield with an extra 7,000 supporters in the ground.
