The New Santiago Bernabéu: A Transformation for Real Madrid’s History

“The new Santiago Bernabéu stadium is going to change the history of Real Madrid”he assured Florentino Perez in the 2023 Extraordinary General Assembly of the white club in which the proposed agreement for the extension of the authorization to the club’s Board of Directors to go into debt (a third loan of 370 million) in order to finance works in the remodeling of the stadium Santiago Bernabeu. The result was overwhelming: 1,632 votes cast were 1,569 votes in favor, 25 against and 38 abstentions. That is, the 96.13% of the votes were in favor. But, the question that Madrid fans ask themselves is the following: What is missing from the Santiago Bernabéu works to see the end of a ‘tunnel’ that started in 2019?

What is missing from the works at the Santiago Bernabéu?

What seemed like an impossible dream, a ‘daring’ fantasy that Florentino Pérez devised for Real Madridis close to completion an architectural work that will be at the forefront of the global football and business elite. It is worth remembering that the works began in 2019 and the initial idea of ​​the top white leader was that they would be completed in 2022, specifically on December 14, coinciding with the 72nd anniversary of its inauguration, but the war in Ukraine delayed the arrival of materials. In principle, The completion of the stadium remodeling is scheduled for spring 2024.

Expansion of the video scoreboard, investment in technology…

The works are progressing at high speed, but so that the players feel comfortable and the fans can feel at home… new technological improvements will be carried out. For example, the video scoreboard, which weighs 330 tons, It will be 11 meters instead of 7. Four large screens have also been installed in each of the backgrounds so that spectators of the 4th amphitheater have a privileged view. In order to increase the advertising and sponsorship income…a new event control room has to be built, so they have had to relocate and expand the spaces intended for the Operational Control Unit and the Intervention Center that make up the technological brain of the new stadium: “It has been implemented a new concept with outdoor locations on all rings. All hospitality spaces have been renovated with new decoration and new services and the offer has been increased with new spaces. Some especially original, like those They allow players to be seen in the locker room tunnel“says the president of the white club.

In addition, the white club museum will be much larger and the spaces have been modified to make them more attractive. It remains to be finished new restaurant on the upper level of the north end with panoramic views of the playing field (huge glass window that allows a perfect view of what is happening on the lawn, even if you are dining); and the quality and number of VIP spaces has increased, which will be “one of the main sources of income for the stadium”. The entire locker room and antebox area has disappeared as we knew it until now and has had to be rethought from scratch with the provision adjacent to the changing rooms of a VIP area called “Tunnel Club”. The VIP areas, leisure, restaurants and 360-degree terrace are other gems that will make this stadium in the most innovative on the planet.

He perimeter route between the façade and the roof “It is in its last phase and will allow you to take a panoramic tour of the entire stadium with a unique perspective of the city of Madrid”. He also explained that the underground parking has been completed and that progress is being made “with the works of commercial and leisure spaces”. Besides, The façade with 14,000 steel sheets is one of the key points to be touched up in the remodeling of the stadium, which has generated more problems than expected. And the placement of the sheets has caused a conflict between the club and the architects. It is not only an aesthetic issue, which also influences because the project was not sold as it is seen right now, but also that more light enters than desired..

In addition, the hypogeum was also one of the points of the assembly after receiving all kinds of praise, one that they will have to polish so that during a match the lines that separate the plates are not marked so much: “The greenhouse will retain the grass with a depth of 24 meters. The trial period has ended and the 6,000 LEDs that will take care of the grass are installed“There is less left until the official inauguration of the new Santiago Bernabéu… and many touches to perfect to put an end to the works.
