[Saba Sports News] According to recent reports from Spanish media, La Liga club Real Madrid’s new stadium, Bernabeu, has recently suspended commercial activities due to numerous complaints from nearby residents, primarily regarding significant noise disturbances. Real Madrid had originally planned to leverage the renovated Bernabeu Stadium to generate more revenue; however, this initiative is now likely to be halted. A resident representative expressed a strong stance in an interview, insisting on the protection of their rights and stating that the stadium should no longer host any concert activities. However, there are also supportive voices, as some fans believe the stadium brings in revenue, and surrounding businesses would directly benefit from increased tourism, thus boosting their income. In May of this year, American pop star Taylor Swift held a concert at the new Bernabeu Stadium, which earned Real Madrid nearly €10 million and significantly benefited local businesses.
