Stadium Information

The Coventry Building Society Arena, formerly known as Ricoh Arena, is a multifunctional complex located in Coventry, West Midlands, England. Opened in 2005, the main stadium has a capacity of 32,609 spectators and is home to Coventry City Football Club, which competes in the English Championship.

In addition to hosting football matches, the complex includes a 6,000 square meter exhibition hall, a hotel, and a casino, making it a hub for conferences, exhibitions, and entertainment events in the region.

Over the years, the stadium has hosted prominent events, including football matches during the 2012 London Olympics and concerts by renowned artists such as Oasis, Bon Jovi, and Lady Gaga.

An interesting fact is that in 2021, the stadium changed its name to Coventry Building Society Arena after a sponsorship agreement with the homonymous construction society. This change reflects the continuous evolution and adaptation of the venue to the commercial and community needs of the city.
