Its main use is as a rugby stadium (both union and league). It is the home ground for Coventry R.F.C.

The stadium
The stadium was built in 2004 and currently has one stand, known for sponsorship reasons as the XL Motors stand, which has a capacity of 3,000 and includes a number of conference and banqueting facilities. The West Stand which was a temporary structure holding 1,000 was removed at the end of the 2005–06 season on grounds of health and safety. There is also standing space for up to 1,000 supporters around the pitch. It is on the site of the Butts cycling track
In June 2019 the pitch was replaced with an artificial playing surface.[1]
On the 17th of September 2023 the 35th annual Britbowl, the championship game of the BAFA National League tournament, happened at the park between the Manchester Titans and the London Warriors. The Manchester Titans won the game 44-27.[2][3]
