Brandon Stadium, Motorsport stadium in Coventry, England.
Brandon Stadium is a motorsport venue near Coventry, England, built around an oval track designed for speedway racing. Spectator stands run along the sides of the circuit, giving most seats a clear view of the full track.
The track opened in the mid-20th century as a speedway venue and later became the home ground of the Coventry Bees. The team raced there until 2016, when they moved to a different venue.
The track drew speedway fans from across the Midlands for decades, all gathering to watch the Coventry Bees race in person. The shared experience of live competition made it a regular meeting point for local motorsport communities.
The stadium sits close to a main road and is easy to reach by car, with parking available on site. Since the venue is not in regular use, it is worth checking in advance whether an event is taking place before visiting.
After the racing team left, local authorities chose to protect the grounds from housing development, which is unusual for a disused sports site in an area with demand for new homes. This protection keeps the door open for motorsport to return one day.
