FC Barcelona President Sandro Rosell on Tuesday explained that from "an unselfish point of view," it would be favorable to build a new stadium and not remodel Camp Nou, but reiterated that "the final decision will be voted on by club members," according to AS. Rosell ruled out "building a new stadium on Camp Nou's current grounds due to 'technical difficulties.'" Rosell said that the club has "three decisions: keep the same stadium, remodel it or build a new stadium on other grounds." Rosell: "Being selfish, I would prefer we do nothing. Because whatever we do, there will be days when we can't come to Camp Nou. Also, it will cost us money. If I am a little selfish, I would renovate the stadium. But if I am not selfish, I would want a whole new stadium." Rosell said that a new stadium could generate €20M-€30M ($26.7M-$40M) annually thanks to "new revenue like VIP seats that would allow Barcelona to get more from its club facilities." The team is waiting to receive a "concrete proposal from engineering firms in relation to the project," and because of this, no date for the vote has been established (AS, 9/17).
