A New Look For Camp Nou

if those colors outside the stadium are for real, you'll probably be able to see that thing from outer space. Seriously though, it looks very state of the art. Would love to see an online virtual tour when it is done.

I am curious...if anyone knows....how do these state of the art stadiums get built in Europe. In the US, there is always haggling over municiapl taxes being used to finance the stadiums versus private funding but with tax breaks....and then of course the builders selling off the naming rights to a huge corporate sponsor who goes bankrupt in 2-3 years. Is it the same for these European stadiums in terms of getting them built?

Why do stadium's outside the US always seem to have more flare? That picture makes me think of a Pink Floyd concert! :)

Wow, what an amazing sight! I definitely will need to see it for myself, once things get finished up! Definitely one of the more impressive things I can remember seeing.

Wow...are you kidding? That almost looks like something out of Star Trek, or maybe some really elaborate candy? I would love to have that as a picture on my wall, and i'm not even kidding.

Very impressive, and I totally am planning on visiting when it finishes up. Not sure who came up with the plans for this, but they definitely seem to be good architects. Can't wait to see how it looks when finished.

You bet the architects are geniuses. With the popularity and the profit that Barca's are enjoying, they deserve to have that kind of sparkling stadium. They should win the very first game in that stadium. What first match do you want to see in the first game? I would go for a FC Barcelona - Real Madrid game and my second option is FC-Barcelona - AC Milan match.

With a stadium like that, their popularity could only grow! As long as they continue playing as strongly as they have been anyway! Shouldn't be a problem, with the talented players that they have!

playing in a stadium like that helps draw the crowds, which helps the team financially, which of course helps it go after the best players.

the quality of the venue will help bring fans. You still have to put a winner on the field, but when you can fill the seats and reep the financial benefits it makes it easier to put a winner on the field.

I think I can also bet that the architects got paid a good amount of money to get that looking so snazzy! :)

That is some pretty snazzy stuff for a stadium, if I have ever seen it. If anyone happens to go there, please post some picures, now I want to see the inside!
