Coventry City
After an action-packed 106 years, the doors to Highfield Road closed forever at the end of the 2004/2005 season.
Coventry City Football Club moved to the state-of-the-art Ricoh Arena in the summer of 2005, playing their first ever game there against Queens Park Rangers on August 20.
Costing £113 million, the Ricoh Arena is one of the UK's top entertainment, sports and business venues.
The 32,000 capacity all-seater stadium covers a 72.5 acre site and since its opening, has held two 40,000 capacity open air concerts (Bon Jovi and Red Hot Chilli Peppers).
It features an indoor 6,000 square metre exhibition and concert hall perfect for trade shows, conferences and rock concerts (such as with Beverley Knight in March 2007), with capacity for 8,000 spectators.
Soon to be the home of the Isle of Capri's flagship casino, one of the finest outside the US and 'complete' entertainment centre, the multi-purpose complex also houses a bistro and a 70 bedroom hotel.
