TT have just announced another concert to be held here....I've never heard of it so was wondering what gigs are like there?

Thanks

    It's the new Coventry City football ground. Hooooooge. I've never been to a gig there, mind you.

    Dunno about gigs, but I agree with FW that it is indeed hyooge. Conference facilities, casino (IIRC), gym, hotel on site, shopping centre next door.

    Went there for a Sikh wedding reception. Over 700 people in a banqueting room on the top floor, which was about half the length of the pitch!

    Thanks. According to the website it has a 32,000 capacity (compared to way more than that for Wembley or Millennium stadiums - which I've got standing tickets for already - I'm jsut deciding which to use and which to sell on)

    I might try for seated tickets here and if not stick with what I've got.

    I live 5 mins away,

    Its just off Junction 2 of the M6, really easy to get too. Never been inside though.

    I went to a football match there a couple of weeks ago. I wouldn't say it's huge though, not for a stadium concert. It would be more like going to the O2 than to Wembley Stadium. Personally I think it would make a good venue. You could be right at the back and still have a good view.
