Spain - First half of the 20th century. The project for the new stadium was entrusted to the architects Francesc Mitjans Miró, Miró-Sans' first cousin, and Josep Soteras Mauri, with the collaboration of Lorenzo García Barbón. More than a year later, on July 11, 1955, the Club awarded the work to the construction company INGAR SA, which presented a budget of 66,620,000 pesetas and an execution period of 18 months. The total cost of the work, however, far exceeded the aforementioned amount, reaching some 288 million pesetas, a figure that had to be paid in part with the successive issuance of mortgage obligations (100 million pesetas) and cash bonuses (60 million pesetas). This measure made it possible to finance the construction of the stadium, but at the cost of borrowing the Club for a few years. In perfect condition.
