You mean the floor ? They still need to put the slabs in, but they'll do it obviously at the very end of the construction so they don't get damaged by the trucks and other machines.

Mostly the walls and concrete beams.

Yeah, these are the old 1957 pillars. Sure you could cover them, but I don't think they look bad. They give the old traditional feeling. This stadium unites the past and the future and I think it's good you'll see both of them.
Could be intentional to show the history as Loki says.
This is what I'm talking about.
The roughness is just cosmetic and easily fixable. Even a coat of paint will do wonders to freshen it up, if they don't want to smoothen the surface.
Maybe will be done in the future, during summer or so when lower priority stuff can be taken care of.

I think it's just not finished. Even if it's history, they already put the paint on the left side in the picture. It's fresh and shiny blaugrana. Doesn't make sense to leave the other side in this state, also there are cables hanging.

Think those pillars will be left pretty much as they are with not much cosmetic changes, to show the contrast old vs new. I don't have a problem if only those pillars are left to show this is the same old stadium, not a demolition and rebuild someplace else as other clubs usually do.
If more of the old structure shows its age in more places, the effect is lost. Keep it in that area as focus point and clean up the rest. Should be the effect we're looking for.
I think it looks pretty nice for this stage.

Other part of the stadium, the old pillars look way smoother. True, probably not quite finished and low priority
