Over the past decade, Liverpool have increased the Anfield capacity to not only improve the aesthetics of the stadium but also to meet the demand for tickets.
The first stage of the redevelopment was to add two tiers to the top of the Main Stand. This increased the capacity from 45,362 to 54,167 and was completed in 2016.
The next, and latest stage of the Anfield capacity increase was to renovate the Anfield Road Stand. This increased the capacity by a further 7,000 seats with 5,200 used for general admission tickets and around 1,800 used for hospitality.
The £80m redevelopment, which was taken over by Rayner Rowen Group, upgraded the Anfield capacity from 54,000 to more than 61,000. This significant improvement was achieved by the addition of the upper tier to the Anfield Road end.
The Anfield Road Stand expansion work rumbled on for longer than first anticipated, however, it was finally completed in early 2024.
