The condition of the grass and VIP boxes indicate the impossibility of attending the Camp Nou in January | Relief

November was the month Barcelona ideally planned to open Spofity Camp Nou. However, as with all works, the deadlines were delayed. The club has gone from talking about November to talking about the end of the year and, recently, a runoff. The “pessimistic forecast” made by Espai Barça director Luis Moya puts the date of the match in March.. But this could also happen later due to various variables that may arise, and as we already wrote in Relevo, this is why the club asked to extend Montjuïc until the end of the season… And to start the first La Liga games in the near future. house.

There are several factors that act as a thermometer for the state of the work. The first is grass. The club estimates that once installation begins, matches can be played within two months.. Another question is the status of VIP boxes. It was planned to begin assembling them in November of this year, and so far not a single seat has been installed.

In both cases, it affects what the playing field will be. It is full of machines and materials.. Pipes are laid into the side zone and the seats of the second ring, which gradually add color. In part of the first ring they will be clogged and there will be no traces left. On the other hand, there are areas in which the area of ​​the disappeared Mini-Estadi, used as a landfill, becomes so full that it impedes the movement of trucks transporting concrete.

Where progress is being made at a good pace is outside the stadium.work is underway there to “raise” the land. The height is measured in levels and is currently over 50. It should reach 80, which will be the same as the street level height. It could be ready, according to forecasts, by February-March.. On this site, after the completion of the stadium, one of the pillars of the project will appear – the boulevard.

The feeling is that outside the work is progressing at a good pace, but this inside the stadium there is not the same agility. The most pessimistic forecasts point to a return date after the summer. When you are not playing, you should start assembling the cover, first with the wiring. In any case, Barça can play at Luis Company until May, having already requested it as a precautionary measure.
