The Santiago Bernabéu is a football stadium in Madrid that we went to whilst on our TY trip to Spain. It is the second biggest stadium in Spain. It has a capacity for 81,044 people to sit (Croke Park has 83,000). 1982 world cup final was held at Santiago Bernabéu.It is the most famous stadium in all of Spain
In the early parts of the 20th century, Real Madrid first played at Campo De O’Donnell, and then moved to the larger Campo de Chamartín in 1924.
The new stadium got built at the same site of Campo de Chamartín. Construction began in 1945 and on the 14th of December 1947 Estadio Santiago Bernabéu officially opened with a match against Portuguese champions OS Belenenses. The stadium was initially still called Nuevo Estadio Chamartin, but received the name of the club-president eight years later.
