Santiago Bernabéu

The renovated Bernabéu has a retractable roof, a 360-degree video board and a steel skin that hides the original 1947 concrete structure.

Santiago Bernabéu has been the home of Real Madrid since 1947, and holds 78,297 spectators for football. The playing surface is hybrid grass, and the record attendance of 129,690 was set in a fixture that still gets talked about in Madrid.

For a matchday, the ground sits in Madrid and is served by local rail and bus routes; arriving 45 minutes before kick-off is the difference between a queue and a seat. Away supporters are usually housed in one corner block, and the atmosphere is loudest behind the goal at the home end.
