Sorry if this has already been posted but I think Mark Labovitch a director at Coventry City is a bit deluded as he thinks The Ricoh Arena would be a 'White Elephant' without City playing there.
I for one don't think he has much of a point as I know there is a lot of profit from drink and food sales on match day but a profit is being turned not just from Football and it is not like the stadium attracts other business such as concerts, Davis Cup Tennis, Olympic Football, Rugby World Cup 2015, various shows, religious events etc. Not to mention money coming from the Casino and Hotel.
I think the club needs the stadium and vice versa but if the worst were to happy I think that both could exist without the other.
