New Nou Camp

New Nou Camp.......sorry if this is a Romario

 

Anyway Barca are spending €250m on the Nou Camp and bring the attendance up to 108000.

 

Norman Foster firm is doing it

Crazy french!

[Sion]

The multicolour outside bit is disgusting.

[Superjay]

Identical to the allaniz arena.

 

WTF?

Not quite the same as the Allianz Arena, which looks like a tyre - this looks more like a hippy festival yurt - it will 'age' very quickly. Certainly makes you realise how genuinely innovative our new design is.

Looks terrible.

[jon_hall]

Can't be any worse than the car park it currently looks like.

[Rimbeux]

Not for me that, looks like an extreme reaction to the Munich and Vallencia ones. Ours looks more like something Foster would do.

[muleskinner]

I like it, it needs something bold doing to it as it one of the ugliest grounds there is at present.

[cymrococh]

I like the design, but I suspect it could end up looking grubby in real life.

I'll reserve judgement until I see it completed.........Artistic impressions are one thing

I'm not convinced our design wont age quickly or look dated.

[Jay Blizzay]

It looks like marble cake with hundreds and thousands on it

[Nebraska Red]

it looks like one of those new fangled automatic toilet bowls.

 

ugly.

[New York Red]

ugly.

 

With a big, steaming curler in it...

I like it, the picture showing the light shining through to the inside looks great. Patchworks of multicoloured light as if through stained glass windows. No idea how it will age though.

Big tax dodge that place.

I think ours being a more wholly original design, will become so clearly identified as 'Anfield' that it will go on to be an iconic structure, identified entirely with the club. As such, it will stand a better chance of becoming 'timeless' by strong association.

Camp Nou is already an iconic (if ugly) structure, these plans, if carried out, will only increase that.

It could go either way but initial reaction seeing the pics is wow. I think a lot will depend on the surroundings, I know that they are re-constructing large areas of Barca but I'm not sure if that's one of them.

[Bald Devil]

It reminds me of Will Alsop's cloud that got f***ed off by the City Council.

[Jarg Armani]

barca's passionate fans will make it a terrifying cauldron. i am joking yes.

Thought the only part that is being re-developed is what they now call Diagonal Mar? Think it's the bit where it runs down to Poble Nou. They started down there a few years back, not sure if any other area has been targeted in the same way.

[nvdm]

I think it looks good.

Yeah I know about Poble Nou as both my mother and sister now live there. Was the old industrial zone back in its day and in all fairness a dump, they started re-developing in the early 90's and moved all the businesses out to a new industrial park on the outskirts of the city. Poble Nou is now one of the most expensive districts. Mum bought a 2 bed flat in one of the very first apartment buildings overlooking Diagonal Mar Park, which is a stone throw from the beach and its almost doubled in value in the 6-7 years she's been there. My sister has also just bought an apartment in the area just down the road in fact, off out there in a couple of weeks to give her a hand moving in
