The Camp Nou is the largest stadium in all of Europe, and its dimensions are quite remarkable. One of the most renowned clubs in the world’s game operation is right here for you to observe in all its behind-the-scenes glory.
What does it look like from the perspective of the crew cabin or the press booth? What are some of the sensations that a player might experience as they emerge from the tunnel onto the pitch? What is it that holds the interest of millions of people in Barcelona? You are able to learn this here. The cost does not exclude admission to the museum.
You can get a bird’s-eye view of the entire Camp Nou stadium as part of the “Camp Nou Tour” if you go up to the press box. See the locker room and pay a visit to the chapel before the game, as this is something that several players do. Take a trip through the player tunnel on your way to the safe haven that is the grassy area outside the stadium.
You’ll get to visit the press room, which is where the executives and coaches hold their press conferences, as well as the mixed zone, which is where Messi and the rest of the players give interviews on the pitch after the game.
After that, you will be able to watch documentaries in the Multi Media Zone that are about FC Barcelona. The interesting history of the club is documented and displayed in the museum, and visitors can examine significant trophies in their unaltered forms.
When it first opened in 1957, the stadium had a capacity of 90,000. This was 30,000 more seats than Barca’s previous stadium known as “Les Corts” had. The Camp Nou was expanded in 1980 to include the upper tier in preparation for the Football World Cup in 1982, which was held in Spain. As a result, the stadium could accommodate more than 120,000 people.
Around 98,500 people were forced to find other seating arrangements as a result of the limits set by UEFA.
The height of the Camp Nou stadium is 48 metres, it’s length is 250 metres, and its width is 220 metres. It extends over a total area of 55,000 m2, which is quite large. Within the allotted time, every seat on the plane might be vacated.
In front of an audience of 120,000 people on November 17, 1982, Pope John Paul II delivered a sermon at Camp Nou in Barcelona. Since that time, he has been playing for FC Barcelona.
