Not a bad example but I'd wager Villa did a much better job as did Wolves.
Yes, both of them are good examples. As are Old Trafford & St. James Park.
Those are two other good examples. I was surprised at the improvements at Anfield in the three years between my last two visits (unfortunately we've got a red side to the in laws...).
But all in all those you've mentioned are perfect examples of what can be done in situ - Wolves, Villa and the Baggies all had to extend thier footprint outwards, but not by that much and all three stadiums have improved facilities immeasurably, but in most cases have kept their old atmosphere.
And BlueArmy, a good call on Bramall Lane. Hillsborough, unfortunately, is probably now where FP was ten years ago in decay, just much bigger!
