Brandon Stadium, also known as Coventry Stadium, is located 6 miles east of Coventry in Brandon, Warwickshire, England.[1] It was the home of the Coventry Bees motorcycle speedway team.[2] It also hosted BriSCA F1 Stock Car Racing on the 1st Saturday of the month from April through to November.[3] From 1978 until early 2016 it intermittently hosted greyhound racing. As of 2023, it is closed and has become dilapidated after several fires, including an arson attack in 2022.[4][5]
