Bernabéu stadium was in the outskirts with nothing much around it when the stadium was built. Main city expanded to the outskirts and grew around the Bernabéu. This must be the case for old stadiums in massive cities.

 

Lol I use to live like 500 meterse from the Sánchez pizjuan. You could here people celebrating a goal in my living room. No biggie. Now live in México with a irish bar outside my apartment, It gets even worse. Thats just life.

 

Who doesnt? But what are the odds of something that has never happened in the history of the club happening next year?

 

I generally go into every season thinking the odds of winning the CL are considerable low. So I would say slim, but Im frequently surprise by this monster of this team, so slim but doable. Lets get that 15 first... ITS not gonna be easy at all.

 

Tbh I find almost all concerts to be too loud and not very healthy to the ears. I do prefer the crowd noise.

 

I've lived or visited cities in the US where the stadium is either in the boonies or right dap in the center where there aren't big residential neighborhoods.

One thing that surprised me about the Bernabeu and even Camp Nou is that they're right in the middle of busy residential neighborhoods.

I can see how the concerts would be annoying for residents.

 

Random story. My brother lives right outside of Wembley stadium. Literally the only thing between him and the stadium is a road. First night in his new flat was a rock concert (Foo Fighters and other artist I believe). The most amazing thing was his sliding doors.

With the doors opened, it was your typical loud concert. Shut the doors and you couldn't hear a single thing.

 

Off topic, but noise cancellation imo is the single most important aspect of quality house making. It’s overlooked imo, but critical.

 

Insulation first but the noise too

 

Just playin around, relax.

 

Strange. The roof was also closed for Swift concert so must have reached some ridiculous decibels.

There was some photo knocking around of someone taking a screenshot of the decibels reached at the concert, can't remember where I've seen it now, probably twitter.

Some people are just against things! Should have seen some of the objection emails people sent into Westminster council regarding the Fanzones for both sets of teams. One would think it was an annual thing.

For example - a wine bar moaning about foot levels around it's premises. Here is an idea, be smart and promote it and get more business, with approx 13, 000 people in close proximity.

 

What happened to the rumoured Saudi takeover from 2 summers ago?

Leeds has to make £100 mil in sales before being allowed to spend any money this summer. This because they failed to qualify to EPL this year... They absolutely need someone to come in and sort out their financials because they have a talent for fking up.

 

Some reports say the decibeles were reaching all the way to Cibeles.

I'll see myself out.

 

How often does It happen though? Cause the irish pub Is on every saturday AND subday nights. I could move, I still choose not to.

 

2nd concert also sold-out.

"How did you get more calm?"

Camavinga: "When you look at Toni (Kroos) or Luka (Modrić), you just have to do like them, they are very calm in all parts of the pitch."

"Is that what you have learned the most from them?"

Camavinga: "Yes, also Toni's quality of pass. And to talk… pic.twitter.com/J0e9WVKEsr
