Page "Camp Nou" Paragraph 18

The club issued an international tender to remodel the stadium as a celebration of the stadium's fiftieth anniversary.

The objective was to make the facility an integrated and highly visible urban environment.

The club sought to increase the seating capacity by 13, 500, with at least half of the total seating to be under cover.

The intention was to make it the fourth largest stadium in the world ( in terms of seating capacity ), after the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the USA ( 297, 000 capacity ), the Rungrado May Day Stadium in North Korea ( 150, 000 capacity ) and the Salt Lake Stadium in India ( 120, 000 capacity ).
