Main Stand Construction Reaches Another Milestone
Liverpool's extenstion of the Main Stand reached another milestone today - A “Topping Out” ceremony was held at Anfield today - marking the construction to the highest point.
The expansion will include an extra 8'500 seats.
The expanded Main Stand now stands at more than double the height of the existing stand – after a year of construction work at Anfield.
Liverpool FC Chief Executive Officer, Ian Ayre, joined First Team Manager Jürgen Klopp, Non-Executive Director, Kenny Dalglish and a host of Liverpool Legends to mark the occasion with construction workers on site.
The signatures will remain on the steel for the life of the building.
Ian Ayre, Chief Executive Officer, Liverpool Football Club said:
“We have today reached another important milestone in this fantastic project. We are absolutely delighted with the progress and are looking forward to having even more fans supporting the team at Anfield when the Main Stand opens next season"
"The expansion provides us with the opportunity to ensure that the rich history and traditions that make this stadium so special can continue for many years to come – none of which would have been possible without the incredible support we’ve received from our fans, partners, sponsors and the local community.”
