The plan was to add a third tier to it eventually, taking the capacity up to 60k. The plans had to be downgraded though to get the stadium project back on track, with most of the second tier removed to reduce costs. Since completing the second tier only would have added an extra 2000 seats, Tan decided against completing it and put the stadium on an entirely different course all together in 2013, extending the Ninian Stand by nine rows and adding a large second tier, increasing the capacity by 5300 seats. He planned similar extensions to both ends behind the goals, increasing the capacity to to around the 40k mark but these plans had to be put on hold following the clubs relegation from the top flight (mercifully).

We now have a somewhat butchered looking stadium that will look even worse if they ever get round to adding second tiers to both ends.

However, if they ever did 'complete' it, I dont think I am far out in terms of the capacity. Infact, if the whole thing looked exactly like the Ninian Stand, it would hold a lot more than 60k seats (closer to 66k in fact). Its one of the biggest stands in the country in terms of number of rows of seats (66).
If we put a similar size ( height) stand at the Canton End surely that will only hold 3/4000... same at Grange End as the end is only about 2/3 the length of the Ninian Side.
