The interior is more than ready, but the outside is a mess with construction material all over the place. It's an ugly picture if you check Camp Nou live videos.

No inspection on Earth would allow this to open for a game tomorrow.

The three access points for the Phase 1 A opening are clear and ready, everything dangerous is fenced off. It wouldn't make sense to make that plan, if the city wouldn't have agreed to it. Especially because they visited the Camp Nou many times in recent days and the communication is very close lately. So even if it's ugly, I think this is agreed on with the city council. The delay must be some other reasons.

As you said, there's some reason behind holding up the approval for the stadium. But I don't think it's city council playing politics and blocking what the majority of the local population desires - Camp Nou functional again. My belief is the safety concerns. Be it the temporary beams or the lack of parking spaces. I don't know.

I'm wondering if once the Camp Nou is complete, whether the club should expand the Johan Cruyff to 15-20k for the Women's team.

No one could have expected the explosion of women's football at the time of building the current JC, but with the interest in the current side due to their success and also the incoming English Super League financial muscle, our women's sides future competitive may rely on making it a more revenue generating side.

Bigger stadium, independent season ticket packages, own shirt and team sponsors. Far-fetched but potentially their own kit deal too.

Just throwing this out there.

No way, it is a recent construction and it doesn't make sense to redo stuff at this point.

Maybe in a decade or so, future presidents might try to score points by doing it.

Espanyol plant on the city council and Madrid.

It's obvious, only way it can be more ready than it currently is, would be if it's fully complete.

While Madrid city council said yes, while fans had to take a piss on the street corner

Whatever the capacity is now for the cruyff is good enough for the women's team, most games I've seen there aren't full, even with not very expensive tickets.

Plus they have a women's dressing room at the new stadium for the bigger games, where they need additional capacity.

Latest interior video from Ferran:

Looks great and first time I heard Ferran talking about the decision to go with the weathered look for the pillars - I had wondered about that for some time and now as I begin to visualize the near final result I like this over polished pillars

Gives it an artisanal blend of modern & old but even at this stage it looks magnificent - can't wait to visit, considering limited seating of even up to 60k I suspect I will shoot for Feb/March to go

Just watched the video myself, damn I saw 3 rats in the VIP mixed zone. I hope the city council doesn't see it, or we'll open in 2030 :lol:

Other than that, the stands and the corridors are completely finished. The player's zone, tunnel, mixed zone need more work.
