LIVERPOOL, England -- Liverpool officially opened the new stand Main Stand at Anfield during an event on Friday.
Liverpool's owners, Fenway Sports Group, Jurgen Klopp and a host of former players were present at Anfield on Friday morning as the club marked the occasion in front of the media.
The work carried out on the stand had added a further 8,500 seats to Anfield -- making it one of the largest all-seater single stands in European football and has taken the overall capacity at Anfield to 54,074.
The opening comes ahead of the Liverpool's first home game of the season as they welcome Premier League champions Leicester City on Saturday evening just 643 days since work started on the project.
