History
Construction
The construction of the Camp Nou began on 28 March 1954 as Barcelona's previous stadium, Camp de Les Corts, has no room for expansion. Although originally planned to be called Estadi del FC Barcelona, ​​the more popular name Camp Nou used. The signing of LÃÆ'¡szlÃÆ'³ Kubala in June 1950, considered one of Barcelona's greatest players, provides further impetus for the construction of a larger stadium.
The architects are Francesc Mitjans and Josep Soteras, with the collaboration of Lorenzo GarcÃÆ'-BarbÃÆ'³n.
Initial years and 1982 World Cup
In May 1972, Camp Nou hosted the first European Cup Winners' final between Rangers and Dynamo Moscow. Rangers won the game 3-2. The 1970 marked a turning point for Barcelona with the signing of a new player, Johan Cruyff, in 1973. Electronic scoreboards were installed at the stadium two years later.
The stadium underwent an expansion in 1980, in anticipation of the 1982 FIFA World Cup, which added a box, VIP lounge, new press area, new marker and third level development, smaller than the original design by 6 meters (46.60 meters compared to original design 52.50 meters). The stadium expansion added 22,150 new seats, with total seating capacity being 71,731, and the standing capacity expanded by 16,500 to 49,670, with total stadium capacity (sitting and standing together) being 121,401. The FC Barcelona record attendance was set on March 5, 1986 in the European Cup quarter-final against Juventus in front of 120,000 spectators, only 1,401 shy of the stadium capacity.
Camp Nou was one of the few stadiums used during the 1982 World Cup, hosting the inauguration ceremony on 13 June. It also hosts more matches at the tournament than the 16 other stadiums used throughout Spain, including opening matches, where traditional opening ceremonies take place (including the release of doves). In front of 95,000, Belgium disappointed the defending champions Argentina 1-0 in the opening match. It later hosted three round-robin matches between the Soviet Union, Poland and Belgium, which Poland eventually won and qualified from to reach the semi-finals, where they played Italy at Camp Nou, losing 2-0; Italy went on to win the final game, which was played at the Real Madrid Stadium at the Santiago Bernabà © in Madrid.
Development
The capacity of the stadium has varied considerably over the years, opening at 106,146, but growing to 121,401 for the 1982 World Cup.
In addition to hosting Barcelona, ​​Camp Nou is home to the Catalan team. The stadium is often used for other football events. The European Cup Final between Milan and Steaua Bucure? Ti was held on 24 May 1989, with the Italian side winning 4-0. Camp Nou hosts a portion of the football competition, including the final, at the 1992 Summer Olympics. In preparation for this match, two additional levels of seating are installed above the previous roofline.
Camp Nou underwent minor changes after 1982, except for the opening of the club museum in 1984. The stadium underwent a facelift in 1993-94, where the pitch was lowered to 2.5 meters (8 feet), the security gap separating the grass from the gallery removed, and standing room removed for the sake of individual seats. A new press box, renovations of the presidential tribunes and squares, new parking spaces beneath the main stands, and new sound lighting and sound systems were completed in time for the 1998-99 season. In 1999, UEFA banned the stands in the stadium, and the capacity of Camp Nou settled to current levels. The stadium hosted the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final of that year in which Manchester United played Bayern Munich. United won 2-1, returning from 0-1 in injury time.
During 1998-99, UEFA gave Camp Nou a five star stadium for its services and functions. However, as per 2010 regulations, UEFA does not publish a list of top spots.
In 2000, fans were surveyed about the name of the stadium. Of the 29,102 votes received by the club, a total of 19,861 (68.25%) prefer Camp Nou to Estadi del FC Barcelona, ​​â € <â € The facility now includes shop memorabilia, mini-pitches for training matches, and a chapel for the players. The stadium is also home to the most visited museum in Catalonia, the FC Barcelona Museum, which receives more than 1.2 million visitors per year. On October 1, 2017, Barcelona's league match against Las Palmas was played at Camp Nou vacant due to political turmoil in the region. Maps Camp Nou
Renovation and expansion
The club issued an international tender to overhaul the stadium as a fiftieth birthday celebration of the stadium. The goal is to make the facility an integrated and highly visible urban environment. The club conspired to increase seating capacity by 13,500, with at least half the total seats under protection. The goal is to make it the third largest stadium in the world (in terms of seating capacity), after Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the US (297,000 capacity), and Rungnado May Day Stadium in North Korea (114,000 capacity).
On September 18, 2007, British architect Norman Foster and his company were selected to "restructure" Camp Nou. With an estimated cost of EUR250 million, the plan includes an addition of about 6,000 seats to a maximum capacity of 105,000. The FC Barcelona board approved the sale of their former training site (Estadi Mini) against significant opposition to finance the renovation. The project is planned to begin in 2009 and will be completed for the 2011-12 season. However, due to the financial crisis of 2008, the sale of the training venue was delayed as well as the renovation project. In May 2010, Sandro Rosell, who later became FC Barcelona's presidential candidate, dismissed the possibility of selling Mini Estadi, saying it would not be possible to "sell the crown jewel", and his election on June 30, 2010 effectively halted the plan to remodel the Camp Nou.
In January 2014, Barcelona's board of directors denied the option of building a new stadium due to financial constraints rather than choosing to overhaul the Camp Nou to bring the capacity to 105,000. The project is estimated to cost approximately Ã, Â £ 495 million (EUR600 million) with work beginning in 2017 with an early settlement date of 2021 with one of the most expensive seats for expansion ratio cost. An enhanced plan was released on May 26, 2015, showing plans to add a canopy over the stands, and showing plans for a more detailed seating expansion.
Other uses
Camp Nou has been used for a variety of purposes other than football, often hosting large concerts. Pope John Paul II celebrated mass for the congregation of more than 121,500 at Camp Nou on 17 November 1982, on the occasion of the honorable citizens of Barcelona.
In 1983, Julio Iglesias played for 60,000 people, in what was described as "the most beautiful concert". Other high-profile performances at Camp Nou include those by Bruce Springsteen on August 3, 1988 during the Tunnel of Love Express Tour; and again on 19 and 20 July 2008 during his magic tour. On August 9, 1988, Michael Jackson appeared at the stadium in front of 95,000 fans during the Bad World Tour. On September 10, 1988, a charity concert organized by Amnesty International to support human rights was featured, among others, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Youssou N'Dour, Tracy Chapman, and El ÃÆ'Å¡ltimo de la Fila. A concert by Three Tenors - Josep Carreras, PlÃÆ'¡cido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti - was held on July 13, 1997. On 3 August 1988 Bruce Springsteen appeared in front of 90,000 people in the Love express tour tunnel. He returned on September 3, 1988 to appear in front of another 90,000 on a human rights tour.
U2 performed at the stadium three times: the first was on August 7, 2005 during the Vertigo Tour, in front of a crowd of 81,269 people sold. The second and third on June 30 and July 2, 2009 during the U2 360 Â ° tour, in front of a total crowd of 182,055 people. The encore performance of "I'll Go Crazy If I Do not Go Crazy Tonight" from the second 2009 show was filmed for the music video of the single.
On November 4, 2014, the Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR), which operates a professional French rugby league, announces that the final of the 14th 14 2015-16 will be held at Camp Nou on 24 June 2016. The Final 14 is traditionally held at the Stade de France on the outskirts Paris, Saint-Denis. However, the scheduling of the 2015 Rugby World Cup resulted in a 2015-16 French season shifted by a few weeks, in turn causing the Stade de France unavailable as it will be the main venue for UEFA Euro 2016. The match finally drew the 99,124 crowd, setting a new record for attendance at rugby matches domestic.
