FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona’s home stadium is called Camp Nou. It is apparently the largest capacity stadium in Europe with over 98,000 seats, although our many submitters couldn’t seem to agree on the actual capacity (I could look it up myself, but that sounds like too much work).

To the west you can also see the ‘Miniestadi’ (Mini-stadium) used by the FC Barcelona subteams.

    Wow, I submitted this just after Google expanded with European images :)

    As for the capacity, I guess the official FCB site is the most authoritative:

    Me and our kid hope to be amongst those 90-odd thousand in March. It’s cheaper to fly from UK and watch Barca than it is to see Chelsea, Liverpool or any of the other big Premiership names these days. I’ve heard Italy is even cheaper and Germany cheaper still. Fiorentina or VfB Stuttgart for the same price as AFC Telford United!!!
