Blog of a soccer freak: 07/12/07 Camp Nou

After my arrival on the night of the 06/12/07 to Barcelona the first thing that I had on mind next morning was to take the official tour through the Camp Nou. Even including the tour, museum and 3D cinema 16 Euros for all seemed on the first view quite expensive. But after I had taken the tour, I have to say that it is worth it and that it is really interesting to have a look behind the szene of the this amazing stadium.

The tour started with the away dressing room. It still had the charm of the of the 1970´s and I had to ask myself if I probably started on the wrong end with the museum.

The dressing rooms were frollowed by the a walk down to the pitch passing the small chapel that is just next to the changing rooms.

After getting that close to the holy green the tour continued with the press room and the mixed zone where normally journalists have the possibility to meet the players after the match.

Next stop on the tour was the first level of the main stand where I had a great look on the ground.

Next stop was the third level press stand. From this perspective the pitch looked very small and I wondered how the reporter can see all whats on from that above.

The tour ended with the museum and 3D cine which was quiet poor and seemed to be more a commercial trailer than a informational movie about the FCB . But anyway I got some nice shots from outside of the stadium.
