BARCELONA have come up with a Nou concept to generate some extra cash to help ease their financial troubles.<\/strong><\/p>\n And it is by turning grass from the hallowed turf of their old iconic home into DIAMONDS<\/strong> and flogging them.<\/p>\n Barcelona announced in July 2022 that they were pressing ahead with plans to modernise their Nou Camp stadium.<\/p>\n The project will cost a cool \u00a31.25billion and is aiming to be finished in time for the start of the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n The huge redevelopment will see the capacity expanded from 99,354 seats to 105,000, increasing its gap as the largest football ground in Europe – with second place Wembley having a 90,000 capacity.<\/p>\n It is also set to see a roof added alongside a stadium rename in line with the club's \u00a3237m sponsorship deal with Spotify.<\/p>\n
