The Blue Palace-grana was inaugurado the 23 of October of 1.971, together with the Palace of Ice. The Blue Palace-grana was considered during quite a lot of years one of the estandards of the club by his modernidad and polivalencia. The Palace had a fit by so only 5.500 viewers, fact that caused that the Barça of basketball left the Blue Palace-grana to go to the Palau Sant Jordi two seasons, to principles of the 90. The excessive capacity of the Sant Jordi -17.000 viewers-, the fault of accessibility to the mountain of Montjuïc, and the coincidence with a bad period of the blue basketball-grana did that the Barça went back to the Palace the year 1.993. The fact that the forofos neither disfrutessin seeing the basketball from so much distance, also influenced in the decision. Then the Palace sufrió a complicated extension to convert it in a more felicitous installation by the basketball, with a capacity for 8.000 viewers. With the remodelación of the Palace substituted the existent parquet, to the equal that the old marcador electronic that had been the first of his characteristics in Europe, that was substituted by an of more modern but that unfortunately fails from time to time. The official ceremonies of inauguration of these installations did the days 23, 24, 30 and 31 of October with the dispute of parties of basketball, of handball, hockey skate and volleyball, between the teams of the different sections of the Barça and the Catalan selections. These two installations completed with a cafe that joins the two pabellones.Highlight of the Palace his cúpula, by his exceptional character and vanguardista, and of a big beauty. Still like this, the Palace has remained something ancient and small, comparativamente with other installations of the F.C. Barcelona, that are of the best of Europe. It would be necessary a big reform with a new extension more ambitious, since there are sectors of the field that do not have visibility. Anyway, the Bruise-grana has been and is our house, where have won almost all the palmarés of the section.
