Main Stand Block U5 at Anfield — view and verdict
Steep, high, sees everything. The Main Stand upper tier is steep — the rake surprises people — and gives a superb overview of both boxes. Not for anyone uncomfortable with heights or stairs.
★★★★☆ — Good · ranked #6 of 10 blocks we rate at Anfield
The view from Main Stand Block U5, in words
Angle. You sit side-on along the pitch, the classic view: the whole width of the game is in front of you and both ends are a similar distance away.
Distance and height. You sit about 56 metres from the centre spot and roughly 24 metres up. That mid height is often the sweet spot — close enough for faces at the near end, high enough to read the game.
Tier. Main Stand — upper. The Main Stand upper tier is steep — the rake surprises people — and gives a superb overview of both boxes. Not for anyone uncomfortable with heights or stairs.
Who Main Stand Block U5 suits
Tactical overview. If that sounds like you — and the price is in line with its 4.0/5 rating rather than a premium block's — this is a sound buy.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone paying a premium for it. This is a perfectly decent block at a fair price, but Main Stand Block L3(4.7/5) is the upgrade to compare it against.
