BARCELONA: FC Barcelona has revealed what the construction process of their ambitious ‘Espai Barca’ project will look like with a video simulation showing the club’s plans to revamp and expand their Nou Camp stadium and renovate its other installations. The video shows how the Nou Camp’s capacity will be raised from 99,000 spectators to 105,000 and the installation of a roof covering the whole arena. Currently three sides of the stadium are exposed to the elements. Building work on the stadium will take place in the post-season over three years, beginning in 2019, so that the team can continue to play at the ground without disruption. Work on the new stadium is set to be completed by the 2023/24 season, with the club stating it will cost $414.47 million. Published in Daily Times, October 21st 2018.
