From 1899 to 2005, Coventry City played at the Highfield Road stadium. During the 1980s it became the first all-seater stadium in English football, but by the end of the following decade the club's directors decided it was time to build a bigger stadium and chose on a site in the Foleshill area of the city. The Ricoh Arena was opened in August 2005.
