First-Hand Experience: I've always loved Coventry. They're a huge, glorious, wonderful East Midlands team that doesn't get the credit they deserve. They overachieved for years being high up in the Prem and winning an FA Cup. They have to be a 5 star team because their huge fan base are wonderful. I've seen them live at their old and new stadiums, and away from home in Oxford too. They were always a great team to watch with loud and passionate fans in big numbers. 5 star all the way. This is one of the classic teams of English football, and is massively supported with a beautiful new 32k stadium, which they really need to buy. They are legends of the game, they even won the 87 FA Cup and did so in brilliant style thanks to Micky Quinn. They once beat Bayern Munich in Europe. Their beautiful light blue kit is one of the best in football. They were in the Prem for a very very long time and will be again someday, because the team deserves it and the stadium deserves it. They were relegated in 2001 after 34 amazing years in the top flight which is a huge achievement. They finished 7th a few times and had Liverpool great Gary Gillespie playing for them for ages. And it's always fun to hear the pundits' commentary on Coventry. Ha. Ha. Ha.

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I watched the second half of a Nuneaton game on my way back from Leicester to Oxford. This was in 2014. It was a disappointment. The stadium is tiny, open, and needs renovation. I am still glad I came here though. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** Of every stadium in British football that I ever visited, this is probably one of the least impressive, it's tiny and really just looks like fields, it's part of an industrial estate, and the team doesn't seem to have much support even though its been around since the 1800s. This is my review of the team itself, which has more info. I wanted to review my lunch instead, but then I realized that it was untouched in front of me, with Nuneaton, and since I didn't eat any of it, I can't review it. Nuneaton is a pretty nondescript team, I've never met a Nuneaton fan, they have one of the smallest teams ever, they're in a region of the country I'm not crazy about (although the county of Warwickshire is very pretty and contains some great historical cities), and they've never really accomplished much as a club despite being in existence since the 1800s. So I'll give them a 3 and hope that they can put themselves on the map in future. The town does have a fun name though. They play in white and blue and have never progressed to the FA Cup proper.

It is also the home of the Birchfield Harriers. Ashia Hansen, Kelly Sotherton and Mark Lewis-Francis are some of the members at Birchfield Harriers. The Stadium itself is a great place to watch Athletics and this place really is worth a visit. Alexander Stadium has recently had a £12.5 million expansion and refurbishment. The money has gone towards building a new stand which has a capacity of 5,000. That means the overall capacity of the Stadium is 12,700. So many of the world's best Athletes have competed at the Alexander Stadium and if you are in Birmingham and fancy watching some Athletics, pop in and see why the Alexander Stadium has received so many positive reviews.

All in all, a great stadium with equally great staff.

Lots of little girls dressed as Elsa so I felt little left out! Once in there it was chaos with so many stands of Frozen merchandise, food and memorabilia. The seating area was quite a large arena. I'm not sure I would go again unless my favourite artist was playing and seemed like the place for kids shows.

I fulfilled a boyhood dream this year…read more Badminton is Malaysia's favourite sport and one of the sport's premier events, the All England Championships, has been held at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham since 1994. I recall being allowed to stay up late to watch my badminton heroes play on live telecast when I was growing up in Malaysia. It all seemed so far away, so exotic, so out of reach. So, I was overjoyed this year to find out that my parents were visiting me from Malaysia exactly on the dates that the All England Badminton Championships would be taking place this year. Booking tickets for all of us on line proved quite painless. We were able to walk to the NIA from our city centre hotel in about 15 minutes. There is parking available at the arena though it does seem to be in the middle of a fairly residential area. The excitement built as we ran into more badminton fans and we kept passing posters advertising the All Englands with Malaysia's world number 1 Lee Chong Wei taking centre stage. The only delay was in collecting pre-booked tickets. It wasn't really clear which of the many windows to join and lots of people were kept outside in the rain as people shuffled forward slowly to get the tickets. Once in, we could hardly believe we were actually at the finals of this legendary event that we used to watch on TV for so many years. The venue seemed a little more friendly than the rather stark Wembley Arena which used to host this event before it moved to Birmingham. There were enough fast food stands serving the usual fare and the toilets were clean. There were a lot of stands selling badminton kit and memorabilia. They had laid on some pre-match entertainment in the form of a classical music trio playing live before the badminton began. The actual set up for the badminton was good with side lighting making it easy for the players to spot the shuttles when they were lifted high and sightlines were good for spectators. The full house of good-natured supporters from all over the globe created a wonderful atmosphere, chanting and cheering on their favourites. Unlike football, no crowd segregation was necessary to keep the peace. The final icing on the cake came for us when we watched Lee Chong Wei defeat his personal nemesis and close rival Lin Dan in the final match of the championship to successfully defend his All England title. One of the best live sporting events in my life

Dog racing isn't my thing. I thought it would be a one-time thing, but then in 2012 after a meal at nearby Indian deliciousness spot Cafe Champagne, my friend K took me and her boyfriend out here of all places. I don't do gambling or dog racing, so the odds that I'd go to a Greyhound track even once, are slim. That I'd go to one twice, is unheard of. There certainly won't be a third time but nevertheless I can't give it less than a 3. It's very popular with the locals, that's for sure. I mean, 2 of my 4 or 5 friends in Wolverhampton go here more than they go to Molineux. If I lived in Wolverhampton I'd be in Molineux all the damn time! This is a Speedway track (4 stars) and a Greyhound racing track (2 stars for being cruel), it's one of the better facilities of its type that I've ever been to, but nevertheless I honestly just disagree with the concept. But as the other review said there is a nice atmosphere here and it's very popular around Wolverhampton.

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've seen Kidderminster play just once, in 2007, and it was a fantastic time. It's an intense little stadium with passionate fans and they bring the best out of their little team. If they ever get to the league and renovate and start packing the place, I'll give it one more. I've rarely heard a crowd so loud outside of the league. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around.

Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** This stadium can hold over 6k people and the team plays in the Conference Premier which is one tier below the football league. The ground has been around since 1890, amazingly, and is currently the home to Worcester City (temporarily) as well as the Harriers. It's a good stadium for lower league football for sure. And as a fan said on the team Yelp page, of the stadium: "It might not be the most glamorous or biggest stadium in the country but it the atmosphere makes up for that! The prices are a good price too, varying game to game. There is plenty of parking around the stadium, and you can park down streets nearby if they are full! If the football isn't good, don't worry! The half-time food will is guaranteed to be great! Definitely worth a trip out to support the local team once in a while."
