:A new renovation has almost been finished at the moment. This renovation of the east stand has increased the capacity to 80,000 and has made the stadium totally covered.
:After this renovation (2005) the stadium will receive a 5-star rating of the UEFA which will make the stadium suitable for any European Cup Final in the future.
Is it possible that the five-star list is out of date? I was there on Saturday and the renovation would seem to have been finished, and it is fully covered. The Spanish wikipedia seems to think it has been five stars since the end of 2003. -- Blorg 14:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  UEFA 5 star stadium? 

message: Why do most footballers, pundits, managers, commentators and fans here in England pronounce the stadium name as "The Berna-bow"?
How do people even come to the conclusion that it would be pronounced like that? How does ..beu equate to being pronounced as "bow", as we would for Bilbao? Does it sound cooler or something?
It just makes them all look ignorant and stupid.  I find it really embarrassing that they can't even pronouce names properly from a country as near to us as Spain (there are other exmaples like Tenerife for instance).
I've even heard David Beckham pronounce it that way and he plays for Real Madrid!!!
:How is it supposed to be pronounced? "Ber-na-bay-oo"? PeeJay 23:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Guardian's "man in spain" Sid Lowe pronounces it "Berna-bow", and he's fluent in Spanish. He even worked as a translator for Beckham, so perhaps Becks picked it up from him. That said, it is incorrect, he himself says
"The thing about Spanish is that every vowel gets pronounced (except in certain combinations where they can sound like they are are running together - 'ua' can sound like 'wa', especially after a 'g', for exmple).
"So, the E and the U at the end there are both heard. And the vowel sounds are pretty much as they are in English, just shorter (a = ah, e = eh (NOT ee), i =ee, o = oh, u = oo)."
"The other thing is that the E has an accent on it which doesn't change the sound but makes it the letter that is stressed. So it's Bernabéu.
To put that in a pronounciation - Bernabayoo is basically right, but as the vowel sounds are a bit shorter, I'd prefer: Berna-bEh-oo (without that oooh being elongated)."
But it's not like this is the only foreign word pronounced differently in English.

message: What is the general consensus on this? Would it not be better to have the article listed under the stadium's proper name? PeeJay 23:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes you're right. And since you're asking for this, I'd like to add that Bernabeu is a Catalonian surname that doesn't need an accent. I don't know why the Spanish media began to put an accent there, maybe just to make it look Spanish and not Catalan.  Escorpión Canalla 18:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

message: What's the source for the claim that 128,000 attended a 1974 match between Real Madrid and Dynamo Zagreb? I'm not seeing that cited anywhere else and I can definitely confirm that Real Madrid did not play Dynamo Zagreb in European competition that year. (A friendly is possible, I suppose, but that 128,000 would show for a friendly against a team from Yugoslavia, doesn't smell right to this lifelong European soccer fan.) I did see here http://www.topendsports.com/world/lists/crowd-largest.htm a crowd of 124,000 cited in a "large crowds" article, for a match I *do* know happened, in the European Cup final against Fiorentina, which "feels" more like a record-setting occasion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vjmorton (talk • contribs) 23:41, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Much has been said about the final capacity of the stadium after the renovation, and due to the initial proposal of 2014, there has been much confusion in various media outlets. However, the truth is that in February 2015, the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid annulled the approval of the specific modification of the General Urban Development Plan of Madrid that did authorize the expansion of the stadium's capacity, so the club was forced to redo the project in accordance with current legality.
In this way, on October 11, 2016, a new project was presented that eliminated the possibility of increasing the seating capacity:
https://as.com/futbol/2016/10/11/primera/1476174286_542644.html
The new stand with 3,000 spectators on the East side simply compensates for the loss of seats resulting from the new stadium layout, which has increased the space and comfort of some seats, thus maintaining the same total capacity.
This was confirmed by the president of Real Madrid himself, Florentino Pérez, at the last Ordinary General Assembly held on November 11, 2023, where he stated that "The capacity of the Bernabéu will be 80,000. That's what we have authorized."
https://www.planetarealmadrid.com/curiosidades/por-bernabeu-no-puede-tener-mas-capacidad-florentino-desvela_129838_102.html
Therefore, until the club publishes the final capacity in an official medium, I propose that the most correct thing is to state in the article a current capacity of 80,000 spectators.
