I got back from holiday today and on my travels i went and watched the Barcelona - Osasuna game at the Nou Camp on Saturday evening. The Nou Camp is a quality stadium, and its absolutely huge but without a roof, and with there only being 63,000 people there for there first home game of the season (when the capacity is 98,787) it seemed very quiet and not much atmosphere for each of their goals that went in.
There was more passion and noise at tonights game although we had 55,000 less people cheering us on....

Anyway, i took a photo playing with the panoramic feature on my phone and it looks pretty impressive...especially in comparision to the theatre of dreams that i attended tonight!

They might be able to get a few more in, but we've obviously got a bigger mower.

I got ripped off a bit and was charged about 80 euros (bout £56) for the tickets and return travel.

Just for the ticket where we were sitting, a league match costs 50 euros (£35). The champions league game played tonight costed 30 euros (£21) - wish i had gone to that now as it was 5-0 and big ron scored!

ive been there, but not to watch a game,
the thing that struck me is theres only about 20% of the stadium covered
and it must be really shite for the rest when it rains
but on the flip side get the sun cream out for most of the season.

I went a couple of years ago, it was ace, it was quite scary being stood right in the back row looking down at the pitch.  Went round the trophy room and the museum.  The club shop was manic  Cheesy

I did the same thing. Very impressive! Although some of the seats were quite skanky!
Think they were actually in the process of replacing them when I went though
