This is just the funniest thing I have seen in a very, very long time. From garbage.com:
Florentino Perez Confirms Plans To Build Real Madrid Theme Park
The theme park will show the world what los Merengues are all about...
The idea of a Real Madrid theme park was first mooted at the start of September, and president Florentino Perez has now revealed that plans for "a type of Disneyland" will go ahead.
"[The idea is to build] a Real Madrid-themed park in a wonderful area of 110 hectares," Perez explained to Marca.
The land has reportedly been given over to the project by the local council in Valdebebas, on the east side of Madrid, where the club's training centre is located, with the idea that the park will promote tourism in the city.
It will reportedly attract "millions of people" every year and will show them "what the club represents".
Previous reports have suggested that the first phase could cost in excess of €150 million, while offshoots of the theme park could be constructed in Beijing and Miami.
If all goes to plan, it is believed that construction will start on the project as soon as spring 2010.
