Ambitious…wouldn’t it be more cost effective and quicker to just start from scratch? Surely, there’s another stadium in Barcelona they could use for a year and change while the Camp Nou is torn down and rebuilt…probably save millions.
Not sure it is cheaper to rebuild a 100K + seat stadium. If they manage the schedule well and can continue playing inside during the construction, costs can be amortized, which could make for an important difference. Over five years a renovation can appear cheaper than a new building over two years. Space may be an issue too. Building a second stadium next to the camp nou before it is demolished may not be possible.
Also, thankfully, it appears that in some parts of the world keeping a bit of history is worth the headache and short term financial strain. (talking to you Yankees)
Great buildings are rare and should be fought for.
Hello, my name is SilverRey and I am addicted to stadium porn.
There I said it!
