Barcelona announce that fans can rent their ground for marriage ceremony, roll out prices

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Barcelona who are top Spanish giants have announced that their fans are now allowed to rent their ground known as Nou Camp for marriage ceremony which comes in different prices.

This will be a welcome development for fans of the club as it will offer them the chance to move close to the pitch and not the stands where they used to stay.

According to the report on Sportsbible, the cheapest option, which would be in the 'Foundation Lounge', costs €1600 and would be best suited for a small wedding with 25 to 50 people attending.

Another appealing alternative is the Camp Nou terrace which costs between €6000 and €7000 depending on attendance.

Barcelona tried their best last season in the Spanish La Liga, but they were only able to finish on second position behind Real Madrid who emerged champions.

Real Madrid also went on to win the Champions League beating Premier League giants Liverpool in the final.
