MADRID (AP) " Real Madrid will be adding a retractable roof to the Santiago Bernabeu after finally reaching an agreement with the city to remodel the stadium. The revamped venue, which will also carry a new facade, is expected to be fully completed by 2020. "We will see a dramatic transformation of the Santiago Bernabeu," Perez said. Madrid had tried to remodel its famed venue for several times but earlier projects were turned down by the city and court decisions. Perez said the Santiago Bernabeu will maintain its name, but it may gain a "surname" from a sponsor like at stadiums "everywhere in the world."
