Can anyone do a "stadium box" for this page? Snowman 19:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Multi use stadium? It didn't have an athletics track that I recall and I can remember it as solely a soccer ground. Perhaps a Sky Blue or a local can recall other sports taking place there? Britmax 08:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have heard that the football club owned the stadium, and I have made a start on the infobox. Snowman (talk) 20:46, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article isn't quite clear on this point. I have had the privileged of visiting Highfield Road back in February/March 1997 - a dull 0:0 drew against Everton. But I liked it's rather old atmosphere. Does it still remain, and could be used for football once again ? 24.000 seats isn't that bad. (QPR, Reading, Swansea, Hull etc are smaller.) And could be added more seats in (some) of the corners. Surelly it must be better for Coventry to play in Coventry rathar than an even smaller stadium far away (?). The so called "hosiptality areas" really doesn't need a lot of space. That I'm sure of. But the question remains. Boeing720 (talk) 06:06, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is also so bl**dy typical - a stadium works for a century and is still possible to continue to be uses - but someone (or someones) suddenly want's to make big buissniss on behalf of the club - and everything just vanishes. During a very long sequence of seasons, Coventry couldn't (or wasn't atleast) relegated, and won atleast one FA-cup, but then arrives some businessmen and simply "miscalulate" things - and the true victims are the people of Coventry - where Lady Godiva once rode nude in order to establish peace. (it was also the engine factories for airplanes that was located in the old city centre, that caused Nazigermany to bomb this great city) I feel petty for Coventry Boeing720 (talk) 06:19, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was knocked down and replaced by housing, though there is a square grassed area with a road around it that is where the centre of the pitch was. Keith D (talk) 16:39, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
