I´m not spanish, just a bit obsessed with footie. Plus I find Barca as a club quite interesting, with it´s history and so on. A very charismatic club, actually quite a lot like Liverpool in that sense.
The Camp Nou (Catalan for "new field", sometimes reversed in other languages to become Nou Camp) is a football stadium in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It has a capacity of 98,787. The stadium is the home ground of FC Barcelona. It is one of the biggest stadiums in the world and the largest in Europe. Its official name —Estadi del Futbol Club Barcelona— translates as FC Barcelona Stadium, although it is popularly called the Camp Nou by football fans.
