Stadium
Spotify Camp Nou
Les Corts, 08028 Barcelona
Giant football stadium built and rebuilt on members buying bonds, mid-renovation for more seats.
This guide to Spotify Camp Nou in Barcelona starts with a 1954 construction budget that ballooned to nearly four times its estimate, and a club that asked its own members to lend it money it did not have. It follows the mortgage bonds sold to ordinary supporters and the land sale that needed a dictator's signature to go through. Listen for the day in September 1957 when the finished stadium opened with a mass, a blessing, and a friendly match against Warsaw.
