A new archway was unveiled at Highfield Road Park on August 18, 2026, commemorating Coventry City's former stadium. The arch, which stands over 10 feet tall, features two club crests and serves as a focal point for fans to reminisce about the club's history. Former player Andy Whing, who scored the last goal at Highfield Road in 2005, participated in the ceremony.

Future plans include installing vision boards and a dementia bench to enhance the site as a memory bank and tourist attraction for fans.
