Society has largely lost the ability to reason

You mean like Real Madrid?

What about Liverpool playing at Anfield while they were building a new stand?

Unless you're building a completely new stadium either at different land or literally tearing apart your current one at the same place and building a new one there, every team will gradually open their stadium and play there.

You're not making any sense.

If anything our return is delayed according to their own estimates

The portion Liverpool were rebuilding was tiny compared to what is still left to do at Camp Nou, and could easily be hidden in TV

The Camp Nou looks like that right now

The whole upper tier of the stands is missing.
This can't be hidden.
There will be the grass, the players, some fans in the lower stands, and above everyone construction site and equipment.

How lovely...

No credit for the stadium, because the two presidents before him while in a better environment didn't do it and we are sure as hell font wouldn't have if he won, because he's a man that won't take a risk even if it was a 90% he would succeed.

The need was not so pressing back then, especially pre-2018 or so.

And the most pressure to Laporta to kickstart it came not from the old Camp Nou's problems, nor from the trend of most European teams having completed similar projects, but from the fact that Madrid had done their stadium already

Believe it or not, whoever would have been at Barca's helm in 2021 would have started Espai Barca.
There is nothing original or courageous in what Laporta did, let alone we don't know how wisely he funded it

They need was there since 2010, which is why we had the foster design, and while I like this one more, if laporta in charge back then it would have gotten done.

Not really.
Designs or future projections is something that costs very little, and can be done just to please fans and give them things to dream about.

No pressing need, or any such trend was around in 2010
