The progress made to complete the stadium adaptation is paying off

Real Madrid is not only busy improving the club's performance from a sporting perspective. Another major challenge that must be handled by the team led by Florentino Pérez is the remodeling of Santiago Bernabéu, a project that has caused several significant headaches.

However, those problems are being solved little by little, allowing for the stadium's multifunctionality on Avenida Concha Espina... as well as the installation of other improvements promised at the start of a process that began in the summer of 2019. This is especially aimed at increasing the spectacular nature of the Madridist coliseum.

The tests recently carried out on Santiago Bernabéu's metallic "skin" make it clear that image and video projections will be one of the stadium's main visual attractions. These first steps, made possible by the posts placed around the stadium's perimeter, make it clear that the tool is still under development.

The criticism that has followed the implementation of these images on the metallic exterior of Santiago Bernabéu is a new attempt to undermine the work of the white team. The white fanbase, as well as those responsible for this important project, are aware that there is still much to be done before presenting Madridism with the final version.

Another step forward

Above all, considering previous obstacles and different technical specifications that will be solved with tests like those carried out during previous nights. The dynamic lighting inside Santiago Bernabéu, as was seen during the league debut against Osasuna last Tuesday, will be replicated on the exterior of the white building.

The remodeling of the iconic and recognizable building in the city center continues to generate dozens of criticisms and negative comments. Regardless of these opinions contrary to the idea executed by the Madridist board, the white club remains a benchmark in every sense.

Real Madrid's stadium will undergo one more modification for 2025 | Real Madrid Confidencial

Indeed, now the European soccer elite have found the need to modify their existing stadiums, as is the case with FC Barcelona... or even change location to play home matches in a completely new stadium: Everton is the best example of this trend. 

Many aspire to compete with Real Madrid, vying for the "title" of having the first stadium of the 21st century. No one matches the features of a building that fulfilled its main function a year and a half after the start of the works: by September 2021, soccer had already returned.
