"Evertonians are Born, Not Manufactured
We do not Choose, We are Chosen
Those who Understand, Need No Explanation
Those That Don't Understand, Don't Matter"
Liverpool have released the design for their new 60,000 all-seater
stadium.
The ground, which is scheduled to open in 2010, is part of a £300m
investment by the club and has the ability to increase capacity to more than
75,000.
The architect is American company HKS, which is also designing the Dallas
Cowboys' new stadium.
Chief executive Rick Parry told the BBC: "The stadium will send a message
out that we want to be best on the pitch and the best off the pitch
American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, in conjunction with
architects HKS, have radically redesigned the original plans for the stadium.
Parry said: "It's very exciting and I think the designs are fantastic.
It's a testament to the new owners and the architects they have brought on
board.
"The architects have understood the challenge and understood the need to
make the stadium uniquely Liverpool.
"It will sit so well in Stanley Park and will be an integral part of it.
"People from far and wide will be able to come to the stadium and get a
glimpse both of the outside and inside. The area will become a tourist
destination.
"It will be a world-class development for a city that deserves
world-class developments."
The move will see Liverpool leave Anfield, which has been their home
since they were founded in 1892.
The unveiling of the design coincides with the club's submission of the
planning application to Liverpool City Council.
Parry added: "The construction will start as soon as practical. We hope
the new designs will find favour and excite the planners. Our aspiration is to
be ready for 2010."
The designs include a single tier stand with a capacity of 18,000, which
Parry hopes will replicate the atmosphere of Anfield's famous Kop.
He said: "It is fundamental that the Kop becomes bigger and that
acoustics are good - we're trying to recreate the Kop of old. It's steep and
the seats are tight together.
"The whole stadium will be spectacular, but the Kop will be extra
spectacular.
"Apart from the Kop, everything else about the stadium will be brand new.
It's futuristic, imaginative and very exciting. People who see it will think
Liverpool.
"It may well be that the site of the existing pitch will be preserved,
the Shankly gates and the Hillsborough memorial."
a.. Reds boss Rafael Benitez:
"The plans for the new stadium are absolutely fantastic.
"The facilities the new stadium will provide are going to ensure that the
future of this club is a great one and this is what the fans deserve.
"There are a lot of windows and it really is ground-breaking in terms of
stadium design."
b.. Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard:
"I knew it was going to be great but after spending five minutes looking
at the plans I was just completely blown away by it.
"It's amazing and the best thing about it is that it's so different to
any other. We will have our own identity stamped all over this stadium and
that's how it should be.
"We are Liverpool Football Club. We expect the best and this will be the
best."
