Forza 106,000 capacity.

Nou Camp though I think will lose a lot of the character in turning into a very different venue, but Wembley and the G have also done this in recent times. Obviously it was time.

First impressions, wow its like a bigger Stadium WAh, but bigger (the coloured glass was the give away). Looking at it a couple more times I have decided it looks more like a fancy colour tissue box cover, or a toilet seat (they could create a new crowd movement nicknamed the flush!!!

). But whatever it looks like, it seems pretty good and I like it, the only thing that isn't clear is where the roof would retract. Doesn't seem to appear in any of the images on the foster and partners site.

How exactly are they going to increase the capacity to 106,000? It looks like the existing stands with a roof on top.

Extra rows of seating will be added to the top tier before the roof is added...

They went for the Gaudi inspired design but I don't like it TBH.

I liked this one...
