The Real Madrid Estadio is accused of crimes against the environment for the noise pollution caused by the concerts in the stadium this year, since the stadium has been renovated.
“We have always lived in harmony with the football stadium, which is part of the idiosyncrasy of the neighborhood, and where most of the neighbors are members or fans of the club. The problem comes when, unilaterally, the balance of the civil coexistence is broken and the life of the neighbors becomes unbearable”.
Real Madrid has canceled all its remaining concerts in 2024, and has agreed with the Madrid Council to implement measures to reduce noise levels when they return. It is an important matter for the club, which made the concerts as part of its income strategy when planning the renovations.
