[edit] One of two is wrong!
Something has to be wrong here. 112|000 seats ok. But Capacity only 98|787. I would guess the capacity is right. Then the 112|000 seats must wrong?

How is Camp Nou pronounced? That'd be helpful for English speakers.
- /'kam 'nɔw/
What is meant by "most atmospheric"?
- What it says, I imagine -- that the Camp Nou is a particularly well known venue in terms of the emotional impact on/of the supporters. It's slightly POV to say this, I suppose, but undoubtedly accurate. --Ngb 19:23, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Meaning of the name
Camp Nou means, literally, in English, New Field, not New Stadium. Therefore, it is correct to call it Camp Nou Stadium, as it means New Field Stadium. -- Mankawabi 12:01 17 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] capacity
correct capacity: 98787, as wrote on the offical site of Barcelona F.C.
The capacity listed by the team's official website is 98,772, not 98,787 OR the above mentioned 112,000. The capacity was probably much higher prior to FIFA regulations concerning crowds (the Hillsborough Disaster probably being a major factor). Perhaps we should create a section about prior capacities? -- Isaiahcambron 17:28, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
I removed this sentence from the first paragraph of the article:
It has the third largest capacity in the world, and the largest capacity in Europe.
According to the list linked to, the stadium is certainly not the third largest by capacity. It is not even third largest in capacity on the List of football (soccer) stadiums by capacity. The claim of largest in Europe seems accurate at least. This needs to be sorted out further, though. —Ed Cormany 22:21, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion in "Notable Games"
I deleted "*2007: FC Barcelona 6 - Atlético Madrid 0 (La Liga)" from the Notable Games section because this game was not played in the Camp Nou, but rather in the Estadio Vicente Calderon in Madrid. --Isaiahcambron 13:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah and whats so good about Barcelona v Rangers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.103.87 (talk) 22:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
