It is quite absurd, unnecessary and very widespread. First of all, where does the "The" come from? And secondly, why reverse the two words? It drives me absolutely crazy every time it's repeated on the radio and TV as "The Nou Camp"
It is actually called "Camp Nou"
It would be like calling Man U's stadium, "The Trafford Old" or Fulham's "The Cottage Craven"
It's totally ridiculous! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.63.75.2 ( talk) 13:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Actually, in Catalan, the adjective 'nou' can be used either before or after the noun, so both Camp Nou and Nou Camp were correct and used in Catalan, and this was not the official name of the stadium. People just called it the 'new ground' until it was officially maned Camp Nou a few years ago.
It's not a mistake in English (or in Spain). It was only officially renamed Camp Nou in 2000. Colloquially, it was called both Camp Nou and Nou Camp in Spain for decades, with the former being slightly more common. Therefore, I think it's hard to call it "incorrect." The same with the definite article. The stadium's name is preceded by the definite article "el" in both Catalan and Spanish. (And there are plenty of examples of English football stadiums with a definite article: the Dell, the Eremites, the Madjedski, the Brittania, etc.). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.210.201 ( talk) 16:23, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

How is Camp Nou pronounced? That'd be helpful for English speakers.
What is meant by "most atmospheric"?
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)
I'd say 'ground' is a more accurate translation of 'camp'.
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)
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)

The article claims the stadium is a 5-star rated stadium, with a link to the EUFA Elite stadium page, which contains no reference to 5-star ratings. I'm guessing that 5-star is an older rating, and that the new rating would be EUFA Elite. Could someone who knows this fix this sentence? Rks13 ( talk) 23:10, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
the nou camps capacity was reduced to around the current figure, dudesleeper reverted to 116,000 then referenced a link which doesn't confirm this. The capacity hasn't reduced since it was all seated. Check the 1999 champions league final for conformation. I'd appreciate it if Dudesleeper didn't revert it back to 116,000 even if s/he is certain that is the figure because it clearly isn't the number! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.204.234.248 ( talk) 11:45, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

"The Camp Nou (
Catalan for "new field"; Catalan pronunciation:

Spanish and
English) is a football stadium in

I think it should read: "Camp Nou (
Catalan for "New Field"; Catalan pronunciation:
[kam ˈnɔw]); often erroneously called Nou Camp in
English) is a football stadium in
Barcelona,
Catalonia,
Spain.
I've personally never heard anyone in Spanish use the Nou Camp pronunciation in both media and person, plus I think it's somewhat misleading. Also it should be pointed out that it's an error to use that pronunciation.

I have removed the following paragraph from the "Future" section of the article:
The above paragraph, along with several other unintelligible paragraphs from the History section, was added by Jim856796 on April 4, 2010. It appears that he took the Catalan article, ran it through some web translator (probably Google), and then copy-pasted the results. Considering that his talk page shows that he is a person who can type comprehensibly, his incomprehensible changes to this article suggest as much. While these efforts are appreciated, there's a good reason we don't just Google Translate the entirety of en.wikipedia.org and port to other languages. While I believe that there is valuable information to be found in this paragraph, there doesn't seem to be much that isn't already stated, and there are some ambiguous parts that I wouldn't guess at "fixing" myself, not being an expert at Catalan and all.
The History section is also poorly translated, but its general meaning is understandable and can be fixed by an enterprising editor.
It's rather unfortunate that such a thing has happened, considering that in my efforts to locate the source of the translation, Google showed me dozens of websites that have quoted (word for word) the above terribly-translated paragraph. It's really amazing these days how much wikipedia content is copy and pasted throughout the web. - Jaardon ( talk) 00:30, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Camp Nou's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
