My recollection is that Morgan was looking quite seriously at this option but the main reason they couldn't pursue it was that there just wasn't time between seasons to get it done properly, drainage & under pitch heating would've taken months to sort out before the new pitch could be laid out and seeded. It might be possible these days with advances in technology. In fact in many stadiums the front row is a good couple of feet below pitch level in any case.
Makes sense. Unfortunately now the new NB is located further forward dropping the pitch is no longer possible without moving the front of either the north or south bank, which defeats the purpose.
