 Liverpool's stadium plans are set to become a reality |
Liverpool have submitted plans for their new stadium at Stanley Park to the city council and hope to begin work by the end of the year. The proposal sets out a timetable for construction of the arena, which could cost �280m and has a 60,000 capacity.
A planning application is scheduled for 25 July and the stadium has potential for expansion to accommodate 80,000 fans, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Liverpool hope to receive permission by October and start work before 2008.
New Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks said recently: "The design is now final. It's spectacular and I can't wait for everybody to see it.
"I think our fans will love it. It's very creative architecture, very contemporary but also unique to Liverpool.
"It is all centred around the Kop - it will be the symphony stage that plays to the symphony hall."
