Arena was fine. Bar staff and stewards terrible. Steward could not ask people that were sat in our seats to move instead moved us. Bar staff waiting for them to serve 4 drinks which took too long then said bar is closed |

Whilst I did think this stadium was massive. Wasn’t impressed generally. The walk from the various parking places was rubbish and dangerous. Poor stadium management,there wasn’t any after. Miles from the pitch too far to see the action. |

Went to see Rolling Stones so was mega busy. Tried to park locally but there is a 2km radius where strict parking restrictions are in in place. Paid £5 to park on a club car park.<br>Wasn't allowed to take drinks into stadium. Food and drink is available outside and inside, queues didn't seem to bad.<br>Official as well as unofficial merchandise available outside but obviously only official merchandise available inside.<br>Plenty of people to help guide you to your seat ect<br>Exiting is rather manic and driving away from the stadium is slow.<br>There is a railway station virtually on site.<br>Overall an excellent experience |

Tried to buy a T shirt after the concert but shocking que and particularly slow service. Didn't get one. Parked too near to the arena and very very slow getting away. I live near Liverpool and got home around 3am. Arena has clean facilities. Very limited food choice |

Great coffee bars and a fantastic entertainment venue. Lots always going on and for those wanting to carry on into the night, their is an onsite Casino and a hotel to collapse afterwards. Parking can get full quickly on big events so make sure you book in advance |

A large complex with multitude of shops .. we visited the Footie shop. Signposting would have been helpful for this as it is at the back of the Stadium. Free parking for 1 hour. Large car parking space available. Also home to Coventry Wasps. |

The stadium is good and the views from every seat is excellent. The downside as always is the drink/food service that you receive on match days, it is always poor, especially considering you are paying a premium for the products too. |

It's okay, attended an event. Room was large, clean, toilets were okay, could have done with a bit more of a clean. Worse thing was the price of drinks, very expensive, more than any regular pub / bar. Staff were friendly courteous and professional. |

Love it here. Since wasps have taken over it has been great. Good crowds creat a great atmosphere. Good food and drink options<br><br>EDIT: went and saw the stones and it was a shambles, bars took over 40 mins to get a drink. We waited for 52 mins to get out of the car park. I'm a big fan of the arena but it fails at so many simple things. |

I am a Coventry city fan so I can only comment on my own experiences I can imagine on a Tuesday/Wednesday night games the ground can feel soulless I agree the atmosphere only really happens if we get a high attendance which we don't get week in and week out. I missed coming here to watch Coventry play in Coventry I like the ground. The only thing I would that is a rip off is the prices of the food and drink in the ground. |

The Wonka experience, function on the 9th of December was entirely underwhelming. Veggie menu stated spicy rice, nope...a spicy over cooked ratatouille with 3 boiled potatoes..really nasty...very slow drink service...entertainment was OK, but not as advertised...parking...well you ask 3 different people they all give a separate answer on how to pay the discount... |

I was in the casino bit at a poker tournament. It was very well run, and they gave me free cola, all the staff were very friendly.<br>Did turn out the cola was pepsi max, I marked them down a star as no regular cola option was available.<br>But a good place, especially if you like big gambling machines and that. |

The car park is easy to access and easy to walk to the arena. The arena itself is well set out however there is not a variety of places to eat. Just a general coffee shop and confectionery. One restaurant on the ground floor so no choice really. |

Attended conference here. Amenities are pretty basic for the cost. More security staff than there are hospitality staff. This is reflected in the poor standard of service with not being ready to accommodate the schedule of the organisers ie late in preparation of the conference room resulting in a later start of the evening event. No flexibility which clashed with the timings of the organisers due to their delay. All they were interested in is serving the meals according to their timetable. Overall organisation is not up to standard. Did not seem like a well run operation, except for security staff. |

I have only visited this venue once, but I understand that they also host a number of sporting events as well? However, I was only there for one reason, and that was the phenomenon called "The Rolling Stones" - It was the best concert since Paris '76 and Wembley Stadium in the late 90's with Sheryl Crow supporting. Actually, I had two reasons, and the second was to see The Specials live, which totally lived up to expectations! So what's for next year? |

At venue for a Rammstein gig. Big crowd and very long queues for merchandise. More than one merch kiosk would have made sense.<br>Seats are basic football ground plastic affairs and we're adequate. A good view of the stage even though a long way back.<br>Hopeless stewards in our area allowed people to continuously stand at the top of stairwells blocking the view of those seated and blocking access gangways also .<br>On the other hand security dealt with a fight in the standing crowd on the pitch swiftly and effectively.<br>Good sound at the venue but booked parking at a school 10-15 minutes walk away was a rip off at £20. |

This is a good place to hold a conference. It has good road links. The rail link comes in from London Euston. Do check the return journey as it may be quicker to continue on the north bound line to Coventry rather than returning to Nuneaton. The catering was acceptable. |

Wasps v Leicester Tigers, as a certain comedian used to say "Good Game, Good Game" a surprising Wasps win was a bonus.<br>Good Covid protocols but it has had an impact on some of the bars and concessions.<br>For rugby the crowds are relatively small although for this match Lei ester bought a sizeable contingent down the M69, so this increased the crowd and atmosphere.<br>As a stadium it has good access and convenient ground parking if you're able to get it, otherwise it can be a bit of a trek.<br>The onsite Railway Station seems never to have any trains running when I check so not sure it is in use or not.<br>In side the ground you have good space to move around outside of the seating area and good leg room on the whole when seated with good views of the playing area although in the west stand there are certain parts of the near touchline which can be difficult to see.<br>Only one screen which is high up in the South Stand and detail can be difficult to see if you are at the other end of the ground, clocks are also difficult to see.<br>Good experience overall. |

Good ground and easy to find. Parking is a night mere. Make sure you book well in advance other wise its a long walk. Seats are ok to sit on for the game but a walk to the bar at half time will help blood flow. Foods ok but takes a long time and you will miss part of the game. |

This is a venue definitely to avoid if you are going to a concert there. Went to see' the Killers' there recently and right from start to finish it was chaotic, disorganised and a very unpleasant experience.<br><br>For the critics amongst you I've attended loads of concerts at many different venues, arenas and football stadium, watching top acts (and not so top acts!) and this rates amongst the very worst.<br><br>THIS ARENA IS NO GOOD AS A CONCERT VENUE!<br><br>The whole 'Coventry Building Society Arena' experience ruined what would have been a great concert from a world class band.<br><br>The only thing that surpassed the chaos of getting into the stadium and the general chaos prevailing inside the stadium was the chaos getting out of the stadium and the chaos of getting out of any of the carparks.<br><br>We parked around 15 minutes walk from the venue believing that would be sufficiently far away to get away at the end without to much of a delay.<br><br>It was a total joke!!<br><br>The concert finished at 10.40pm and finally made it back to Wolves for 1.40am given that the carparks wouldn't allow cars to leave until the roads around the arena and surrounding area were clear of concert goers.<br><br>I'll never go back to this place no matter whose playing there.<br><br>If I could give a 'No Stars Rating' I would! |

Great place but it was very cold today and I would have loved a hot drink at half time. Sadly there were no separate coffee/tea bars and I would have had to join a very long queue at any of the bars where most people were buying alcohol. Could you not introduce separate coffee bars? |

I visited today to watch coventry city. I havnt been able to attend for the last two seasons. Firstly we searched for parking it was full. So had to go to a alternative. Not on their website. We intended to buy tickets from 1.30 at the box office. We got there to be told its closed and cash turnstiles only even though the whole arena is cashless. So I had to walk to the nearest cash point. That was a long walk away. To then have another long walk back. It didn't say anywhere that we would need cash we ensured we had two cards to pay for tickets food etc. So it made my visit very stressful. Please update your match day info or get into this century and either accept card payments on turnstile or please fit a cashpoint. |

Wow....fantastic stadium.....went to see my team Plymouth Argyle play there against Coventry City. One of the best stadiums outside premier league. Was going to catch the train but although they have installed a platform and station there now it only runs every half an hour...and it's one carriage!!! Stadium staff all friendly and if you don't want to pay the inflated prices inside the stadium there is a shopping complex/mall alongside with cafes and restaurants |

Easy access from M6. Car park charges are reasonable. Just a shame the coventry building society arena's main tenants aren't Coventry City Football Club as it looks like it's all about LONDON Wasps who have no connection to the city what so ever. I believe over time the stadiums main purpose will be for Rugby and the odd concert.<br>Inside the stadium the café is over priced for below average food and drink.<br>The casino is worth a visit and is also quite pricey but that is expected, after all it is a casino and they just want your money!<br>Can't comment on the hotel as I've never used it but for what you'd pay for a room there I'd rather go to junction 2 of the M6 and use the Premier and get better value for money. |
