New Real Madrid stadium: Club to install screens on Bernabeu urinals as part of £350m redesign

Madridistas will now be able to watch their team, even when nature calls

Real Madrid have installed TV screens on the urinals at the Bernabeu as an initial part of their extensive stadium redesign.

Los Blancos are redeveloping their historic ground over the course of the next few years, at an estimated cost of around €400million (£355million).

One of the first steps taken to modernise the arena has been to put screens in the toilets so that match-going fans can leave their seats midway through the 90 minute games if necessary, but still not miss any of the action.

The small televisions will broadcast live footage of the game happening outside, so no Madridistas will ever suffer the tragedy of missing a goal to go to the bathroom ever again.

Los Blancos’ plans for their new stadium were initially announced in 2014, though the project then hit a stumbling block.

Madrid are now ready to proceed with the idea again, as they plan to convert their old stadium into a giant metallic structure.

The new Bernabeu, will reportedly cost €400m (£355m) and feature a 360-degree video screen, retractable roof and various shopping facilities.

Take a look at some of the design images below.
