Either this page is called "Camp Nou" or "FC Barcelona stadium" but "Camp Nou stadium" is nonsense.).

The Camp Nou (Catalan for "new stadium", sometimes reversed in English to become the Nou Camp Stadium) is a football stadium in Barcelona, Spain. Its capacity of 98,600 is the largest of any football stadium in Europe. The stadium is the home ground of FC Barcelona. It is known to be one of the biggest and most atmospheric stadiums in the world. Although popularly called the 'Nou Camp', its official name (see below) translates as 'FC Barcelona Stadium'. The well-known 'Camp Nou' moniker was actually given to the stadium by the fans. Other stadiums named in a similar vein include Arsenal Stadium (known as Highbury to most), the San Siro, whose official name is Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, and the Feijenoord Stadion, which is usually referred to as De Kuip.
