Nick Newbold Stadium, formerly known as Butts Park Arena, is a multi-use sports stadium in Spon End, Coventry, England that opened in 2004. Its main use is as a rugby stadium (both union and league). It is the home ground for Coventry R.F.C., a rugby union team (since its opening) and was the home of Midlands Hurricanes, a rugby league team (who played there as Coventry Bears from its opening until the 2021-22 season ended). It was also formerly the home ground of the Coventry Jets, an American football team. From the 2017–18 season, the stadium is also the home of Coventry United, a non-league football club and their Ladies team who play in the second tier FA Women's Championship.
The stadium has also hosted the local varsity day matches between Coventry University and the University of Warwick.
