Worst seat in the stadium? A Barcelona fan showed the (un)view from the front row for 70 euros
Barcelona FC has decided to renovate Camp Nou and must play this season at the Olympic Stadium Montjuic. However, the stadium has an athletics track and visibility from the front rows is zero.

Going to a football match is an experience nowadays, especially for giants like Real Madrid or Barcelona. Tourists, who sometimes fly across the world to see these matches, and who see a game like this maybe once in a lifetime, want to enjoy the game to the max.
However, this will be a big problem at the Estadio de Montjuic. This is the replacement stadium where Barcelona will play the 2023/24 season due to the renovation of Camp Nou.
Indeed, the stadium on Montjuic mountain is mainly an athletics stadium and was used for the Barcelona Olympics. The playing field is thus lined with an athletics track, which always spoils the football experience.
Other teams also have an athletics track in the stadium, such as Hertha Berlin, but the stands are adapted to this and are slightly elevated. Barcelona, however, lacks this.
One Spanish tickler bought a front row ticket for the first league game against Cadiz. Although Barcelona warns that it has a limited view, it would be more appropriate to write no view.
After all, from the front row behind the goal, where the extra speakers are placed, not only can you not see much, you can’t even see a bit of the pitch. And the worst part of the whole thing is that Barcelona is selling these tickets for a staggering 70 euros.
The bottom rows remained empty even in the opposite stand, where the camera is pointed during the match. It looks very sad in the TV footage. Barcelona at least made the fans happy with the result, beating Cadiz 2-0.
