The proposal for a new stadium came already in 1948, but it was not until the Hungarian star and Barça's best ever player, Ladislao Kubala arrived at the club that people started talking about that Barça had grown from Camp de Les Corts. Camp de Les Corts was completed in 1922, and after several major developments got one pushed into the 60 000 spectators, a figure they saw as irresponsible to exceed.

Responsibility for the design of the new stadium was laid in the hands of the architects Francesc Mitjans Miró (Miró - Sans cousin), Josep Soteras Mauri and Lorenzo García Barbon.

Today, the capacity decreased to 98 000 due to the requirement that it should only be seating at football arenas.

Klokkarvik, Norway 		"Supporter eller ikke."

Camp Nou er så enorm, så imponerende og så vanvittig at den må imponere om du er supporter eller ikke. Jeg, sammen med en med mitt store reisefølge, fikk servert champagne, enkel lunsj og en ordentlig omvisning på hele anlegget før noen av "gjengen" spilte en kort vennskapskamp i ene enden. Jeg er Barcelona supporter, så for meg var dette en stor og hjertelig overraskelse på vår tur til byen.
