Initially, the stadium used to have 93.053 seats, and following expansion in 1982, it has the capacity up to 120.000 seats.
Within the stadium, there are a museum and a media center. The FC Barcelona Museum is currently considered the most modern museum among football museums. There you may see trophies that FC Barcelona have won, look around the shop windows, learn something about the club’s history, watch most interesting matches, etc. On the field, it is only allowed to enter the zone around the pitch. Due to preserving the grass, it is not allowed to enter the field. FC Barcelona’s changing rooms are out of reach because the players keep their personal possessions in there.
