SEAT ALLOCATION
Away supporters are usually located in the South Stand which is the dedicated area for travelling fans, with separate turnstiles and concourses.
The modern round shape of the arena, in which all four stands merge into one another, means that there are no restricted views at the venue and supporters can enjoy good views of the pitch from anywhere in the ground, including the away section.
In terms of accessing the ground, the design makes access fairly straightforward and the stadium footprint is well signposted.
CASHLESS KIOSKS
Food and drink kiosks at the stadium are cashless.
TRAVELLING BY CAR
Coventry City have a number of official car parks near the stadium which can be booked in advance here.
Parking is also available to purchase at the stadium itself and this can be purchased here.

There is an on-site train station at the CBS Arena called 'Coventry Arena'. There is no special matchday service with trains running a regular schedule.
To travel from Swansea to Coventry Arena station by train will take approximately four to five hours, with trains running regularly. There are no trains available from Coventry Arena to Swansea after the match.
