| CAMP NOU |
| Improvements and
Renovations |
|
Since the day it was opened, the Camp Nou has been improving
day by day and it has adapted itself to the passing of time. Over the years the
Club has renewed different areas of the installations and the surroundings, new
areas have been built and the stadium has been equipped with the latest
technology. These are the renovations which the Camp Nou has gone
through. |
|
The Development of The Stadium |
|
When it was opened, the Camp Nou could hold a capacity of
93,053 spectators (the former plan to hold 150,000 places had been abandoned)
and the field of play measured 107x72 metres (currently 105x68, according to
UEFA guidelines). The main materials used in its construction were concrete and
iron. Since that now distant year of 1957, the stadium has undergone the
following renovations and improvements. |
