COVENTRY CITY

Coventry Building Society Arena (capacity 32,500)

Following 106 years at Highfield Road, the Coventry Building Society Arena (formerly the Ricoh Arena) became home to Coventry City in 2005, and after moving out on a couple of occasions including a temporary stay at Birmingham City’s St Andrews, the club is now back at the stadium.

The stadium is completely enclosed, with seating available in all four corners. Three of the stands are single tiered, whilst the West Stand has a large lower tier and small upper tier, giving it an unusual look. Outside the stadium there is a bronze statue of the late Jimmy Hill, who guided the club to the top flight as manager between 1961 and 1967.

Away fans visiting the Coventry Building Society Arena are located in the South Stand, near the corner that meets the West Stand, with a typical allocation of around 3,000.

There is a station at the Coventry Building Society Arena itself called Coventry Arena Station, and is served by trains from Coventry’s main station. However, trains aren’t too regular even on matchday so fans will generally make alternative plans to make the journey from Coventry Railway Station. The main station is almost 4 miles away from the station so isn’t within walking distance, with most fans either taking a taxi or a bus.

There are a number of options when taking the bus from the railway station to the stadium, one of which is the number 8 which leaves from bus stop ER1. You can take the number 8 to the Coventry Transport Museum, and change to the number 4 or 5 to the Arena Park. Once here, you just need to follow the underpass to the stadium via Car Park B
