[[File:LesCortes1939.jpg|left|thumb|[[Camp de Les Corts]] in 1939. It was the home stadium for Barcelona until the club moved to Camp Nou in 1957.]]

Barcelona initially played on different fields, one of the first to represent a fixed venue was the Camp de la Indústria. The capacity was about 6,000, and club officials deemed the facilities inadequate for a club with growing membership.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/web/catala/noticies/club/temporada08-09/03/n090314107593.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120804055554/http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/web/catala/noticies/club/temporada08-09/03/n090314107593.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=4 August 2012 |publisher=FC Barcelona |title=Cent anys del camp de la Indústria |access-date=11 September 2010 |date=14 March 2009 |author=Santacana, Carles |language=ca }}</ref>

In 1922, the number of supporters had surpassed 20,000 and by lending money to the club, Barça was able to build the larger Camp de Les Corts, which had an initial capacity of 20,000 spectators. After the Spanish Civil War the club started attracting more members and a larger number of spectators at matches. This led to several expansion projects: the grandstand in 1944, the southern stand in 1946, and finally the northern stand in 1950. After the last expansion, Les Corts could hold 60,000 spectators.<ref name="fcbarcelona6">{{cite web|url=http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/web/english/club/club_avui/territori_barca/CampNou/intro_historica.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120801083203/http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/web/english/club/club_avui/territori_barca/CampNou/intro_historica.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 August 2012 |title=Brief history of Camp Nou |publisher=FC Barcelona |access-date=30 July 2010}}</ref>

After the construction was complete there was no further room for expansion at Les Corts. Back-to-back La Liga titles in 1948 and 1949 and the signing of László Kubala in June 1950, who would later go on to score 196 goals in 256 matches, drew larger crowds to the games.<ref name="fcbarcelona6"/><ref>Farred, Grant. p. 124.</ref><ref>Eaude, Michael. p. 104.</ref> The club began to make plans for a new stadium.<ref name="fcbarcelona6"/> The building of Camp Nou commenced on 28 March 1954, before a crowd of 60,000 Barça fans. The first stone of the future stadium was laid in place under the auspices of Governor Felipe Acedo Colunga and with the blessing of Archbishop of Barcelona Gregorio Modrego. Construction took three years and ended on 24 September 1957 with a final cost of 288&nbsp;million [[Spanish peseta|pesetas]], 336% over budget.<ref name="fcbarcelona6"/>

In 1980, when the stadium was in need of redesign to meet UEFA criteria, the club raised money by offering supporters the opportunity to inscribe their name on the bricks for a small fee. The idea was popular with supporters, and thousands of people paid the fee. Later this became the centre of controversy when media in Madrid picked up reports that one of the stones was inscribed with the name of long-time Real Madrid chairman and Franco supporter Santiago Bernabéu.<ref>Ball, Phil pp. 20–21.</ref><ref>Ball, Phil pp. 121–22.</ref><ref>Murray, Bill. p. 102.</ref> In preparation for the [[1992 Summer Olympics]] two tiers of seating were installed above the previous roofline.<ref>Snyder, John. pp. 81–2.</ref> It has a current capacity of 99,354 making it the largest stadium in Europe.<ref name="stadium">{{cite web|url=http://www.fcbarcelona.com/club/facilites-and-services/camp_nou|title=Camp Nou|publisher=FC Barcelona|access-date=26 December 2020|archive-date=9 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160609044121/http://www.fcbarcelona.com/club/facilites-and-services/camp_nou|url-status=live}}</ref>
