The Coventry Building Society Arena stands in Coventry, in the English Midlands, and is best known as the home ground of Coventry City Football Club. Despite its name, the venue is a large multi-purpose arena rather than a small indoor hall, with a capacity of around 32,600.
What to expect
Beyond football, the arena hosts basketball, ice hockey and other sporting events, as well as concerts and entertainment shows. That range makes it a useful stop for visitors who want to see a live event in the region, whether or not they follow a particular sport.
- Major football fixtures for Coventry City supporters
- Basketball and ice hockey events
- Entertainment events drawing audiences from across the Midlands
Planning a visit
Because the arena's programme changes with the season and with bookings, check what is on before you travel. A match day or concert brings large crowds into the city, so allow extra time for getting there and for leaving afterwards. Coventry itself is a short journey from other Midlands cities, which makes the arena a practical choice for a day or evening out.
If you are visiting for an event, it is worth pairing it with a look around the city centre before or after the show, to see more of what Coventry has to offer.
