Know why it can not demoler the Camp Nou to build another stadium

"If I am president, will stop the Espai Barça and will do a new stadium". This was the idea crashes of the ex precandidato to the presidency, Agustí Benedito. His plan was to build the new field of the Barça in the Ciutat Esportiva (to what the mayor of Sant Joan Despí already said that no) or demolish the Camp Nou and build here the new jewel. While, during the three years of works, the team would play his parties in Montjuïc.

For tranquility of the partners of the Barça, the reality is that the Camp Nou can not demoler because has "classification C" like architectural heritage of the City council of Barcelona. This refers to four levels of protection established by the local authorities for infrastructures of the city:

The upper category, the level To, are cultural goods of national interest, buildings intocables like the House Batlló of Gaudí. The level B allows some margin of manoeuvre for some reform. In the level C, where is the Camp Nou, are goods of interest urbanístico that can not derrumbar in no case.

Like this of strict and, without exceptions, is the municipal law of Barcelona. Therefore, it does not have felt that any precandidato to the presidency think that it will build a new stadium in another part because it never will be able to throw the Camp Nou. Nikken Sekkei Won an international contest, the project is audited and has it already everything ready to execute the works, day in day out, during four years. The course backwards is very difficult.

The promise of Benedito

It was the past 21 December when the otrora precandidato to the presidency of the Barcelona, Agustí Benedito promised to build a new stadium, Also stirred the option to demolish the Camp Nou for erigir the new headquarters of the Catalan square. "If we win the elections, what will do is to do a new stadium. And for giving some new detail, have considered two options for this new stadium. A first is the one of derrumbar the Camp Nou and build it right there. This would comport that, during three years, the team would have to play in Montjuïc, that would have to expand his terracings so that it fit all the social mass. The another option is to do it in Sant Joan Despí, in the door of Barcelona. It will vote by referendum during the first year of our mandate if we go out chosen on 24 January", said.

"It is that the partner does not know the project. And if we start, no longer there will be course backwards. We are to time of not going in and not to do it. For the moment, the budget goes by 725 millions. We will spend us all this money and all this time. It is not truth that will be able to go to the field and see party with comfort while they are the works. It will have split in which 30.000 or 40.000 people will not be able to go. And after this effort, what will have? From this point of view, does not have felt. I am conscious that it did a referendum in April of 2014 and the partners of the Barça expressed . I voted against. But it will be necessary to admit that this has remained desfasado", added.
