The Liberty Stadium

The Liberty Stadium is only a few years old and in my opinion it is one of the better smaller stadia I’ve visited.

It is just perhaps a pity that they didn’t build a station to serve the stadium. Especially, as the railway between London and Cardiff to Swansea passes close to the ground.

You can just see the viaduct carrying the railway behind the stadium.

Inside the stadium looks very similar to the other new stadia like St. Mary’s in Southampton, Leicester City, Doncaster and Coventry.

But in some ways, the design is better.  I did like the fact that disabled supporters were placed on a balcony that extended all round the stadium, with level access to the outside.

Surely this arrangement gives a better view and would be much better in the case of any emergency.

Or is this all just a process of continual developent in our design of new stadia?
