[edit] UEFA 5 star stadium?

See the text here:

A new renovation has almost been finished at the moment. This renovation of the east stand has increased the capacity to 80,000 and has made the stadium totally covered.

After this renovation (2005) the stadium will receive a 5-star rating of the UEFA which will make the stadium suitable for any European Cup Final in the future.

Is it possible that the five-star list is out of date? I was there on Saturday and the renovation would seem to have been finished, and it is fully covered. The Spanish wikipedia seems to think it has been five stars since the end of 2003. -- Blorg 14:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I've searched the web for various references regarding this stadium being a UEFA 5 star stadium. So far I've found nothing except for various bulletin board postins claiming that this stadium is indeed a 5 star stadium. There is not a shred of evidence of this being the case and I think it would be wise to remove this 5 star rating until some proof on the matter is found. Niall123

It's not true that bernabeu is the only stadium which has hosted all major football events. also the Munich Olympic Stadium has done so, and still exists though Bayern Munich is now using the newly built Allianz Arena. 1974 World Cup Final 1988 European Championship Final 1977,1993,1997 Champions League Final

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome has also hosted all 3. Niall123 23:28, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

• Text from the FiFA's official website: "meant that in 2005 the stadium attained 'five-star' status in accordance with UEFA standards.", do you need more evidences of Bernabéu being a 5 star stadium? here is the link http://fifa.com/classicfootball/stadiums/stadium=456/detail.html

[edit] Bernabéu pronounced as Berna-BOW

Why do most footballers, pundits, managers, commentators and fans here in England pronounce the stadium name as "The Berna-bow"? How do people even come to the conclusion that it would be pronounced like that? How does ..beu equate to being pronounced as "bow", as we would for Bilbao? Does it sound cooler or something? It just makes them all look ignorant and stupid. I find it really embarrassing that they can't even pronouce names properly from a country as near to us as Spain (there are other exmaples like Tenerife for instance). I've even heard David Beckham pronounce it that way and he plays for Real Madrid!!!

How is it supposed to be pronounced? "Ber-na-bay-oo"? PeeJay 23:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed move of article to Estadio Santiago Bernabéu

What is the general consensus on this? Would it not be better to have the article listed under the stadium's proper name? PeeJay 23:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes you're right. And since you're asking for this, I'd like to add that Bernabeu is a Catalonian surname that doesn't need an accent. I don't know why the Spanish media began to put an accent there, maybe just to make it look Spanish and not Catalan. Escorpión Canalla 18:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brocken Goal 1. April 1998 Champions League. and 70min delay
