Not quite - was designed by same people though. Sydney Olympic stadium was much bigger (110,000 for Olympics, 80,000 now) but is not a true football stadium. It can host athletics, Aussie Rules, even cricket.

Not Nou Camp size (100 000) but definitely on parity with Old Trashford when the Mancs are done expanding (80 000?)
I read on another thread a few months ago that it does have some expansion capacity but we're limited by noise regulations etc. 60,000 was seen as an acceptable size in order to get it through Council.
