When FC Barcelona approached the upgrade of its home stadium, the club went big. Setting a new standard for the future of sports and entertainment events, the Espai Barça (Barcelona place) project aims to modernize and expand not just the stadium but create a multifacility sports, entertainment, and leisure campus over the expanse of 45 acres. With new spaces for commercial and community purposes and a vision for connected fan experiences, the club is modernizing its IT environment to provide agility, flexibility, and availability while boosting security.
