The location of the stadium has made getting to the stadium difficult and time-consuming through public transportation. The stadium is about a mile away from the Morgan Boulevard station, the nearest Metro station to the stadium. Furthermore, federal regulations prohibit publicly paid shuttle service from public transit agencies as long as a private service is available. Since this isn't cost effective, fans taking public transportation must walk to and from the stadium. That trip usually takes as long as 20 minutes on most days.

The name came from a small hill in South Africa known as Spion Kop where in January 1900, during the Boer war, a battle left hundreds dead. Many of the soldiers killed came from Lancashire regiments with a strong contingent from Liverpool. The Liverpool Echo was the first to suggest calling it the Kop.

This takes the total investment in the clubs infrastructure by Liverpool's owners, Fenway Sports Group, to around 220million. This breaks down into 100million for the Main Stand expansion and the new state of the art training facility in Kirkby which cost £50million.

Post #4: Soccer City Stadium.


Soccer City in Gauteng, South Africa | Sygic Travel
Built in 1989, the First National Bank Stadium, called Soccer City, is one of the most popular in the world. This football arena is located in Johannesburg. In 2009, it underwent significant reconstruction. In 2010 South Africa hosted the 2010 football World Cup. Since then, the Soccer City stadium looks like a calabash, an African pot, and the lighting resembles a fire under the pot. With a total number of almost 100,000 seats, the Soccer City is one of the biggest football stadium in the world.

urmounting the new stadium is the calabash, or ‘melting pot’ of African culture. Its façade is made up of a unique cladding system, developed as fibre-cement panels that could be produced using locally-sourced materials, and which gives a unique African flavour to the appearance of the building. The pot is punctured by open panels that provide natural ventilation and, when the stadium is lit up, mimic the starlit African sky.
