Estimating capacity and revenue
\n
I'm thinking about the capacity numbers for Camp Nou. The old capacity was around 99,354, with a target new capacity of 105,000. It's important to mention when Barca plans to partially reopen, which could happen in the 2024/2025 season and then return fully by 2026. The user's information about reaching 60,000 by the end of 2025 aligns with various updated timelines. The potential increase in matchday revenue per seat at this higher capacity could significantly boost income compared to the Montjuïc stadium.Crafting concise updates
I'm thinking it’s best to provide estimated ranges and be cautious. I should mention things like the phasing for season ticket holders, VIP boxes, ongoing hospitality construction, and roof completion. I’ll keep heavy formatting to a minimum but can use some bullet points to clearly convey the information.
Here’s what I’ll include:
- Estimated capacity: Laporta states about 60,000 by year-end and full capacity near 105,000 by next year.
- Construction timeline: Lower stands are mostly done; roof and VIP boxes still in progress.
- Impact: Matchday atmosphere returning, increased home advantage; potential for higher revenue.
- Risks: Progress could be affected by safety checks, noise issues, and permitting.
- Match scheduling: Important games may return first to balance construction.
- Next steps: Official announcements on schedules and ticketing will be needed; I can also gather sources if requested!
