According to Western media Crónica Global, the renovation project of Barcelona Camp Nou has caused surrounding residents to suffer from different degrees of dust, noise and harassment. The renovation of the Camp Nou Stadium in
Spotify Camp Nou was launched in June 2023, and the first step in the project roadmap is to remove the third stand. Thereafter, the first and second stands, which had problems due to age, were reinforced.
In addition to the reinforcement project, a new third stand is also needed. This time a separate building will be built with their respective access and metal structures that will be covered with concrete to specifically support the third stand and the two-ring VIP box.
If there is engineering, there will be dust and noise. This is true for small transformations to large skyscraper construction. Therefore, these effects were amplified during the reconstruction of Camp Nou. In addition, the Barcelona club has been approved by the Barcelona city government to allow uninterrupted construction 24 hours a day to promote the final completion of the project.
Barcelona meets regularly with municipalities and community associations to confirm the agreement. The club has also launched mechanisms such as installing dust sensors and noise meters to minimize nuisance to buildings surrounding future Barcelona space.
Although the Barcelona club worked with the city to make the renovation work less impact on residents of Lescot, it is difficult to have no contradictions at all. To understand the reality that merchants and residents of the neighborhood have experienced over the past two years, Barcelona fan media Culemanía visited the surroundings of the stadium.
In the interviews conducted around Camp Nou, the situation varies. A hotel owner who is worried about the business, a Barcelona fan taxi driver, two young fans, an elderly member who is worried about his stands, and a girl who is harassed by workers.
The general statement made by the interviewed residents is that troubles do exist. For those who are closer to their homes or shops, dust and noise, especially the noise during the day, are annoying. Furthermore, a young woman showed strong dissatisfaction with the workers, who claimed that workers “have more time outside all day than inside.” She also said she had complained to her superiors about “inappropriate remarks” and (i.e. workers imitate) dog barking. However, she received no response.
Barcelona will return to home in the Gambel Cup on August 10. However, the application status of the permit is still unclear. The Barcelona city government, fire department and Catalan police must approve the reopening of the stadium. This depends largely on the court’s convenient access and comfortable evacuation possibilities.
Mayor Haumi Corboni has made it clear that he will not give Barcelona a green light. "Camp Nou is the largest project underway in Barcelona and the club will not be treated specially. We must be very strict with safety measures."
