Camp Nou

Looks like the new fans aren't only LGBT but also retarded. Truly inclusive!

The ticket prices and disastrous handling of Grada d'Animació are legitimate concerns that the opposition group should point out in the election run-in, instead of the other populist garbage they are doing right now.

Maybe it will force Laporta's hands too and force him to backtrack, hopefully.

Ads thing is bad but club is broke so it is what it is.

As for that DJ thing with the music after goal scored is pathetic. Who makes these decisions? Sometimes it looks like people in charge are new to football completely.

Atmosphere at the stadium must be imperative. Not the led lights, cringe music or "inclusivity".

Most of socis are miserable old men who probably prefer the silence so they can listen to their radio in peace. If they actually go to the game and don't sell their tickets to away fans of course...

They need to stop socios selling the tickets for profit. That's for sure. Just do it like Benfica, you can re-sell your ticket(to other Benfica members) on their website and the club gets part of the sale. It's time to end this profit making from the socios. They are already paying very low price compared to tourist fans.

Seems to be common practice culturally. I was in sevilla last season and stumbled upon Sevilla vs Almeria so said to myself let's watch this match. As I approached the ticket office near the stadium i was surrounded by their socios trying to sell me their ticket. So not only was it acceptable, they are doing it right next to the ticket office !

Thats shame. The system should provide tickets to real fans who wants to see the games. Even if at a bit cheaper price.

Any Barca fan that thinks we haven't sold out entirely for money in this stadium design is completely deluding themselves. The decision to move the stands back for a more prominent advertising hoarding is a disgusting one.

Hand on heart, watching it on TV, there were at times I thought that we were actually playing back in the Montjuic. The main face up camera angle showing the far side of the stadium looked remarkably similar to the Montjuic. Fans far away from the pitch. All that was missing was the running track.

They have changed the animacion side to Gol Sud, instead of Gol Nord as well, because Gol Sud is smaller. Less than 2 percent of the stadium had been allocated to the 'Ultras' whereas both Madrid clubs, who both have far smaller stadiums, have allocated around 5 percent to their Ultras.

It's going to be a bit awkward when the clubs favourite chant ( Un dia da partit ) is being instigated from Gol Sud when the first line of the chant talks about entering Gol Nord ( Un dia de partit. Al Gol Nord vaig anar )

They should have left the Ultras section in Gol Nord, but the lower section is twice the size of Gol Sud and they obviously didn't want to give out twice the concessions and cheaper tickets.

How much money will you lose when the lack of atmosphere in your home stadium means you aren't able to get over the line in a tight Champions League knockout game ??

An intimidating atmosphere pays for itself.

You are right but that's the smaller problem. At least let the Ultras into the 2% on the wrong side of the stadium. Nope, they prefer empty seats and silence like we're in the middle of Covid.

It seems that the yankification of the atmosphere in the new Camp Nou is where we’re heading. Maybe next we’ll get ‘defense’ chants when the opposing team has the ball.

Let's hope once the stadium is complete, things can change.

The whole atmosphere argument is a very valid criticism.

European football in general is heading this way, because it brings money. Half-time shows will soon be the new normal, already tested and approved. Capitalism always tries to find new markets. And since football fans already watch it, the next logical step is pick up event fans, so they try to create an event for everyone. US was successful with their sports integrating event fans, like superbowl watching people who don't care about the sport, just for the event, and now football tries to copy it.

bunch of crying pussies in this thread. Atmosphere was fine and pretty loud on the weekend. Haven't seen the new animation stand in business yet. Let's assess it when it's actually there.
