History 
The sky Blues played their very first ever game at their then brand new stadium, the Ricoh Arena, back in 2003. Originally developed as a replacement for their Highfield road ground, the stadium was at first had as well as operated by Arena Coventry restricted (ACL), with Coventry City as tenants. ACL was had jointly by Coventry City Council as well as the Higgs Charity.

Following a protracted lease conflict between Coventry City as well as ACL, the football club left the Ricoh Arena in 2013; playing their house matches at Northampton Town’s Sixfields stadium for over a year before returning to the Ricoh in September 2014. Within two months, both shareholders in ACL were gotten out by Premiership Rugby club Wasps, who relocated to the stadium from their previous ground, Adams Park in High Wycombe.

A additionally conflict with Wasps prior to the 2019/20 season saw Coventry City leave the Ricoh indefinitely, making Wasps sole tenants.

In a statement published on the club’s web site July 24, Wasps said:

We are absolutely shocked as well as deeply dissatisfied that the owners of Coventry City have taken this decision when we were extremely close to reaching industrial contract on a deal. We had held positive as well as constructive talks with the football club at administration level for a number of months as well as both sides believed they had a workable plan which was great for all as well as would see Coventry City back at the Ricoh. We did not need the football club or its owners to indication any type of indemnity around legal action over the Ricoh Arena, as well as firmly believe that we had made the offer as commercially appealing as possible.

We, like everybody else, believe the football club must be playing its house games in the city that bears its name as well as its decision to select to stay in Birmingham is a lost chance on a huge scale. The news that CCFC is working in partnership with the university of Warwick to produce its own stadium was not communicated to us up until after it was released publicly however we continued to endeavour to bring the negotiations to a successful final thought as well as believed that was the case.

Sadly, Coventry City’s late decision to withdraw today has brought present negotiations to a close Camiseta Racing Club de Avellaneda for the foreseeable future. We were not conscious the club would be making a statement this evening as well as will be looking very carefully at aspects of what they have claimed, as well as may potentially comment additionally in the next couple of days.
