I love the Big House, but this is an awesome design for a 100K+ futbol stadium. Most large capacity college football stadiums, like Beaver Stadium at Penn State, have gone through multiple remodeling projects to add butts in the seats, at the expense of their original architectural designs. The Big House is the exception: classy big. But the new Camp Nou is stunning!
it may be of interest that Brasil drew 199,850 fans to their July 16, 1950 World Cup matchup with lowly regarded Uruguay at their new stadium--"Maricana".......Brasil shockingly lost-- and t nearly 10% of the country's population was in the Stadium.....bars were closed, suicides were reported and that game is STILL poison to talk about today if you are heading that way this summer...
10% of Brazil's population was in the stadium . . . huh?
How the hell did they shove 5+ million people into a single building, then miscounted so badly they came up with 199,850 people? Did they just see people everywhere all piled on top of each other and say "to hell with counting" and guess?

Maybe he meant the population of Rio de Janeiro...
