Coventry Building Society Arena
Home of Coventry City in Coventry, capacity 32,609. An out-of-town arena, the on-site bar is sometimes the only realistic pre-match. Drink in central Coventry first and take the train or the shuttle bus.
Coventry Building Society Arena away guide
Away fans are in the South Stand of the single-tier bowl, usually blocks 6 to 9, with safe standing in blocks 6 and 7. Turnstiles are ticket-only and open 90 minutes before kick-off, and there's no re-admission once you leave. The in-house ticket office sits by the South entrance if you have a problem on the day. Drums aren't allowed in the away end, and a flag needs clearing with the club's safety team first. Away fans get a smoking area outside the South Stand at half time.
One bag each, nothing bigger than A4, and every bag is searched on the way in.
Checked 21 Aug 2026 against Coventry Building Society Arena event information.
Coventry Arena station is about an 8-minute walk, and the train out from Coventry station takes about 7 minutes, running to the normal timetable with no extra matchday service. The club's £5-return shuttle bus leaves Coventry station (the rail replacement stop near Central Six) for Arena Park from three hours before kick-off, and there's no single ticket for the journey back. Car Park C is the closest paid parking to the South Stand, and the A444 Jimmy Hill Way shuts for a short spell after every home game. Crowd control after the game segregates home and away fans, so you can't turn left towards the shopping park: away fans go across Car Park B and out of the exit gate for the shops and the station.
