Both Nasri and Fabregas have criticised the Emirates for a lack of atmosphere compared with Highbury. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/aug/25/fabregas-nasri-emirates-atmosphere Similar thing could happen with us and Anfield- initially I was all for the new stadium but we will lose so much by moving. I know it looks more likely that we will go for the new stadium but hope they can incorporate the magic of Anfield within it if they do.
The plans that Hicks and Gillett had made for us were supposedly to maximise atmosphere and keep it as Anfield-like and kop-like as possible. You never know though. If they make the stadium walls out of the same stuff they make shower stalls out of the acoustics would be amazing.
It's the fans that make the atmosphere not the stadium. And I would suspect that if we go for the new ground, the club will build it in such a way that it boosts the atmosphere the fans make.
I'm with Smerch on this one. Unless we build a replica of The Millenium Stadium now that's how a stadium should be done
I think the problem at the Emirates is the big band of executive seating that runs right round the middle of the stadium. Of the three tiers in the stadium, the middle one is purely expensive VIP seats, full of prawn sandwichers, which seems to suck all the noise out of the crowd from every angle: please log in to view this image If Liverpool built a new stadium, as long as they recreate the Kop there should be at least one solid wall of noise in the stadium even if the executive seating needed to make the move worthwhile is likely to be fairly quiet.
Anfield is a dump of a stadium. But the stadium don't mean sh...it, it's the players that win you things. Suarez and Coates are two quality signings, potenial world class players.
Yeah which is why I call The Emirates The New Library was like a morgue in there on Saturday until the sending off
Unfortunately for us it's the prawn sandwich sales which are more important to football clubs but I agree, a stand dedicated to true fans is needed.. whether it will materialise though is another thing. I hate the Wembley middle section which is only ever half full cos all the corporates are busy having a face rub when the rest of the ground is sold out with the true supporters

What H&G had for us..... please log in to view this image I know in the US alot of the press boxes are up high so the crowd is lower on the pitch ( at least stadiums I have seen). So maybe it will be like that?
Fenway is said by both home and away fans to be the best day out of any stadium. They hold the record for MLB sell-outs. The current pricing structure at Fenway is $12-$165. I don't know much about the corporate seating but they stuck new press boxes up high above everybody and the only reserved seating I can see on a map is the Coca Cola Pavilion stuck in a corner. http://mlb.mlb.com/bos/ticketing/seating_pricing.jsp
Now if only there were such thing as transparant grass- think of the view you'd get from underneath- and all the seating... atmosphere would be electric under there... see the whole field from below... um... second thoughts that might not be a good idea... what if Kuyt goes commando?
