Encyclopedic overview
RCDE Stadium, also known as Estadi Cornellà-El Prat ( Catalan pronunciation: [əsˈtaði kuɾnəˈʎa əl ˈpɾat]; Spanish: Estadio Cornellà-El Prat [esˈtaðjo koɾneˈʎa el ˈpɾat]), is an all-seater football stadium owned by the Spanish football club RCD Espanyol on the outskirts of Cornellà de Llobregat and El Prat de Llobregat, in the wider Barcelona urban area (Catalonia, Spain). It took three years to build and cost approximately €60 million. Opened in August 2009, it was awarded as Venue of the Year at the Stadium Business Awards on 18 June 2010 in Dublin.
With a capacity of 40,500 seats, it is the tenth-largest stadium in Spain and the third-largest in Catalonia. It became the home of RCD Espanyol in 2009, replacing their previous stadium, the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, being the eighth stadium in the club's history.
