Cultural Activity: FCBarca Stadium
Date: March 16th, 2011
The other day my Sport and Culture class went on a field trip to the FCBarcelona stadium. I was so excited for this trip because I had never seen a soccer stadium and had heard great things about it. When we walked in I was drawn to all the trophies displayed in their glass cases in the area that seemed to be the ¨museum portion of the stadium. As we walked around my teacher explained some of the history of the stadium.
We then walked to the locker room, which I thought was very interesting. It was actually situated exactly how I pictured it, with a physical therapy area, showers, lockers, and benches. We then wandered off on our own to finish the tour by ourselves. I got to see the press conference room and the boxes where the announcers sit to announce the games.
I thought the field was beautiful and so neatly kept. I took lots of pictures while in the stands. I had learned that in the seats was written ¨Mas que un club¨ so it was great to actually see it in person. We finished the stadium visit with a trip to the stadium store. I browsed around but resisted from buying anything.
My visit to the Barcelona stadium was very fun and I really enjoyed seeing the trophies, locker room, and especially the stadium itself. Even though I have watched soccer matches on television seeing the actual stadium in person was really great.
