Went to see an concert there. Felt very safe and relaxed throughout. Leaving the venue did take a while but was because of managing people's safety and safe exiting of the venue. Thanks. |

This is a nice place to visit. It has so many stores giving any customer various ways of shopping. The down side is that people living behind the Arena need to travel a bit to get to Arena because of the limitations notice displayed at the back against motorists. |

Why did you hold all the traffic until one hour after the show ended , then letting all car parks go at the same time causing the mother of traffic jams . I will never advise my customers go there for a concert again , held my drivers back causing additional overtime payments cost to my business . We don’t even get this issue at Wembley or twickers. Very shoddy . |

Attended many events here over the last few years and find it an excellent all round venue, with the caveat that it is a long walk in from the car park for disabled visitors.<br><br>The stadium is served by a local bus service, there is a "match day" train service and of course parking for coaches and cars.<br><br>The Arena hosts Football matches, and Rugby games as well as having large conference and exhibition space on several levels. |

Incredible arena, plenty of bars. Amazing that they have an entire area dedicated to an after gig party! only downside is lack of food available but can't have it all. Will definitely return again! |

Nice clean spacious rooms. The car park looks a bit grim but it's not that important. There are TWO DOUBLE TREE HILTON Hotels in Coventry which isn't immediately obvious so be certain which one you are booked in |

It's not the biggest stadium, but perhaps because of this it works really well. Admitedly I was fortunate to be get good seats to watch the Commenwealth Games Rugby 7s hosted at the Ricoh. Brilliant seats and easy to walk around staff well excellent. And the Rugby itself was sublime. Just wish the semi of New Zealand vs Fiji had been the final, but regardless excellent venue. |

Ok arena. BUT awful security for The Killers gig, we arrived at 6:30, got in the queue, got into the stadium 7:15, so missed around 10 minutes of support act, Manic Street Preachers. Terrible organisation, terrible processes outside, not enough bars for drinks, not enough toilets, it just can’t handle a big stadium gig.<br><br>Maybe it can handle a smattering of fans that Coventry City and Wasps get. Otherwise not good enough.<br><br>Great sound, and great stage set up however. |

I wasn't here for football. It's vast and OK with a somewhat Nüremberg architectural style. Environments like this usually sap my will to live, but what was inside was entertaining and the catering had improved since my previous visit. If you trek across the car park, there's a tunnel leading to a retail park with quite a few decent shops. I don't know how the rooms are now since it's about 3 years since I stayed there. They refine in many way, but the place is very "blokey" so my room didn't, for instance, have a full length mirror.<br>So fine for what it is, but it feels a bit too brutal for my taste. |

Massive stadium with a really massive parking. The arena has the Doubletree by Hilton and a casino. Interesting that the casino probably gets more footfalls than anything else around. Lots of tables and open till 6am with some pretty decent food and drinks. |

Visited for an event not a match. As an event venue it's clear it was a great location.<br><br>It had a resturant and a number of cafés and foodstalls. The toilet facilities and grounds in general were clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful.<br><br>There were plenty of rooms and large locations to hold a large number of varied activities.<br><br>All in all a good venue. |

It has become a bit of a Christmas tradition for my whole family to go to the Wasps Christmas Cracker game a day or two before Christmas. The atmosphere is brilliant and the singing and fireworks at the end are so lovely for the kids. But we always leave the Ricoh grumbling about the complete ineptitude of the bar staff, hence the 3 star review. Why, when crowds of over 30,000 people are expected, do they not put on more bars and bar staff? Why do the bar staff they do have not have a clue how to pour drinks? This time we queued for 40 minutes to get a round of drinks, missing the start of the game. Ridiculous. We didn't bother getting any more drinks as we didn't want to waste our entire Ricoh trip in a queue! And tonight, the only bar left open at the end of the game ran out of money to give back to people who had saved their eco-cups and wanted their £1 deposits back. We came home with 2 cups, but many people had big stacks of cups and could be tens of pounds out of pocket. How ridiculous to offer a deposit scheme and have no way of paying people their deposits back! |

Quite straight forward to get to from the South and parked in the car park near to the Novotel - 10/15 minute walk to/from the stadium.<br>Entrance was also very easy but the block details and gate numbers appeared to be wrong as we were separated from our seating by an entire block!<br>Once seated, we were right at the top (row XX) and could easily gauge just how many people had exactly the same problem finding the correct stairs - we witnessed a constant flow of lost souls, so info/signage needs some work!!<br>The venue itself was great for a gig and Rammstein continue to show the rest of the world how to put on a stadium show, utilising all of the available space.<br>Getting out of the stadium itself was fine but getting the car the first few hundred metres was grim - a shame to have this organisational weak spot as the finale. |

Body search on entry more like indecent assault. I am 66 year old in recovery with my grandkids and treated like a criminal. Even told to remove my cap . I might have been smuggling a half eaten mars bar. Staff serving drinks very slow. Couldnt take top off pepsi bottles. 2 minutes to pour a pint. Huge queues at half time. Missed start of second half by 5 / 10 mins. Great progress by team and great atmosphere outside on the approach with street food and drinks. |

Great venue. I've been twice seeing Bon Jovi here in 2009 and 2019. Both times were great and the venue itself was great. My only criticism is the lack of adequate parking for everyone. We had to park a good diatance away in some industrial retail park because all the nearby parking was full. Worth pre-booking parking or arriving early if you want to get nearby parking. |

£3 for a bottle of water and not allowed to keep the lid !?!? Barred from leaving through logical gate for carpark A so had to fight against the crowds going the other way around the outside of the venue after gig. Lots of staff stood around doing nothing afterwards. Try marshalling traffic in your car park. Happy to take £25 for parking but not do anything to aid customers. |

Security has been a mess. Got an early entry ticket for extra money and they let in normal ticket holder's in at the same time. No information. Asked different men where to go to the city center. Got different answers. Were not allowed to get in the bus. Around the corner they said I have to buy a ticket. Around the corner was nothing. Only a man who told me that I just should take the normal bus across the street. I think it was cheaper and faster. No beautiful stadium. |
