Original plans to replace Anfield were initiated
by Liverpool F.C. in May 2002.[21] At that time
the proposed capacity was 55,000, but it was
later revised to 61,000, with 1,000 seats given
for segregation. Several attempts were made
by the Liverpool City Council to instigate a
groundshare of the proposed stadium with
local rivals Everton from 2003 to 2007, but this
move was rejected as neither club favoured it.
Liverpool were granted planning permission restaurants, and offices.
on 30 July 2004, to build a new stadium, just
300 yards (270 m) away from Anfield at
Stanley Park,and on September 8 2006,
Liverpool City Council agreed to grant
Liverpool F.C. a 999-year lease of the land on
the proposed site.[24] Following the takeover

George Gillett and Tom Hicks, the proposed
stadium was redesigned to reduce the costs of
construction. In November 2007, the
redesigned layout was approved by the
council and construction was due to start in
early 2008.The new stadium, provisionally
called Stanley Park Stadium, is being built by
HKS, Inc. and is scheduled to open in August
