How club President Joan Laporta announced on Friday the sender RAC1, the planned conversion works in Camp Nou will begin next summer. As a possible escape facility he called the Estadadi Johan Cruyff, which offers just room for 6000 spectators. An alternative would be the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona, in which at least 55,000 spectators fit, for which rent would be due.
In order to finance the renovation, the Catalans will have to take a loan of 1.5 billion euros, laporta confirmed and at the same time pointed out that it was a measure of fundamental importance for the club. Among other things, the capacity is to increase the Camp Nou from currently 99,000 to 110,000 spectators, which promises the highly indebted Barça additional revenue.
Either way: During construction, Barcelona would have to take off from the Camp NOU for a maximum of one year. Final is the conversion that has been in plan for years, but not yet. A hurdle must be taken: the voting club members must give green light - on October 17, the annual meeting is scheduled.
