That looks fantastic, love the terracing...would we be able to do the same with 'safe standing'? Dont really know what that looks like but I imagine it would work?

I could be wrong here but I'm pretty sure the vast majority of clubs that have moved grounds in the last 20-25 years all have higher average attendances now than they ever did in their old grounds with poor facilities/sightlines etc...
Probably a couple of notable examples there - Coventry we all know was a complete clusterf**k of a move, and maybe Bolton these days only because they got horrendously mismanaged and tumbled down the leagues...
But otherwise I think there is a pretty clear correlation between bigger/nicer/improved stadium and increased crowds...? Sure Lee Hoos has alluded to that on more than one occasion?

I suspect that both Coventry, now they are back at the Ricoh and Bolton still have higher attendances than when they moved out of Highfield Road and Burnden Park respectively. The one that didn’t work was at Darlington. Where the team is playing out of town and there is a 25,000 all seater stadium being used by some third rate local rugby league side.
Is the new frieburg stadium on the plot of the old one?
Remember the 5-1 england match in Munich, i happened to be on holiday that fortnight and arrived in Frieburg the night before the famous win and attended the England under 23's? match where we won 2-1 in the last minute.

i wonder if by then theyd already incresed the capacity? When they were in the bundesliga in the early 90s their ground only held something like 11,000. They were a plucky little side that punched far above their weight and had a Brazilian called Cardozo I think, who kept scoring goals for them. My geography teacher Her Fischer used to play for Freiburg
